Day 2: Slow start to Chunox Village

Our first day was a little slow to start as our group did not leave the hotel until after 9:30...which is over an hour later than planned.  Things don't always go as planned but in the end it always works out.  The journey to our first village of Chunox was an adventure just getting there.  We had to cross two small ferry's just to get there and bounce around on rocky roads for over an hour.  As expected we encountered some challenges...but nothing major that we could not overcome.  Computer lab and fun games with the kids were the highlight of the projects.  Tomorrow we are going to Buena Vista village.

Speak from Your Heart


Let me tell you short story from last year's trip to Belize…on our first day we visited the village of Concepcion in the Corozal District. The schools we visit always have a special welcome ceremony which usually includes assembling the entire school for a formal welcome program and gifts for our mission team. It is customary for the leader of the group to give a welcome speech so I was asked to address the Concepcion primary school students and teachers. As part of my brief speech, I introduced the team. I was especially proud to introduce Davin, my daughter, who was on her first mission trip with me. As I completed my brief talk the school Principal and master of ceremonies took the microphone and handed it to my daughter and asked her to also briefly address the school. As you can imagine, Davin who is 12 year old, was quite intimidated and scared to be standing in front of the entire school in a place that was not at all familiar to her. She responded shyly that she did not know what to say. The master of ceremonies very politely said to her…”That is okay…just speak from your heart”. Davin then proceeded to share some brief comments in front of the entire school. I was so proud of my daughter that day. The reason I share this story is because when we speak from the heart it travels far and touches deeply. So always speak from your heart.
