Finally Internet!

Hello Everyone,

This is my first contact with internet access since Saturday hence the sparse updates. Sorry...

Saturday night we arrived at the campsite where we would do our first training (just outside Belmopan). It's a beautiful location and facility with a shortage of leaders and vision for programming there. Unfortunately my first night there wasn't so great. Getting cozy with some frogs was funny but running a pretty decent fever wasn't as much fun. I thought it was just the Belizean heat but then things suddenly spun to shivering I thought it somewhat odd.

Bright and early we zipped out to Spanish Lookout where Alex spoke in a small Spanish village church and I spoke at the EMMC church. (I had a chance to pop in the other church as well but couldn't stay long) Things in Spanish Lookout went amazing and the people there are very excited to get involved with the ministry. Already we've received such blessing from the church and youth there.

My energy started to peter out a little and when got back to Belmopan I asked Alex to take me into town where I checked into a place there (and then spent most of the night in the bathroom). Seems I'm a bit of a magnet this trip. It was a tough couple days... Praise the Lord He provided just enough strength to be at the training but by Monday night I got pretty dehydrated (I just couldn't seem to keep much down). Thankfully after a quick AND FREE!!! IV treatment on Monday evening I've begun a good recovery... no need to be alarmed I feel a TON better. However, I haven't been able to eat much and it seems fried chicken is the favorite here which is a hard on to muster.

Training went AMAZING. There was a great turnout and they were falling over themselves to volunteer for camp service... real progress.

Now it's off to Shipyard, San Phillipe and Blue Creek. Oh no, gotta go. Hope to update again soon but unsure when. Please pray for continued health and effectiveness. I'll be speaking in Blue Creek on Sunday and training on Saturday and Sunday. Meetings with contacts other days.

Love you all...
