another day hard at work

I can not believe how much has gotten done in such a short time. Today was our third day working at the church and man it looks like a whole new place. The team is still doing very well. you can see God at work in everyone of them. Well let me catch you all up in what we did yesterday, yesterday was Sunday and we started off with church at River of Life church where the team got to lead the three Sunday School classes which were divided up to kids, youth and adults. But when we arrived at church and the pastor said the attendance was down that we only needed 2 classes so we combined the youth with the adults and we had a blast. We played some games, we heard from the Word and we all got to act out a short story in Acts 5 (you should of been there). Then after class it was off to church for a two hour service, yeah that's right two hours! I will never complain again when Kevin runs long. It was actually pretty good and the students liked pastor Franky and his humor.
Then after church it was off for one of the coolest things any of us have ever seen. The Mayan ruins! They were absolutely amazing, you could climb up them and go to the top and see for miles. It really was great, a huge treat to our team to take a day of rest and see such beautiful country, God is so good.
After a day like that topped off with some ice cream on the way home you would think that is all we could have handled but it wasn't over yet. We went down town Belmopan to a city wide student outreach put on by 4-5 churches with live bands, dance and drama. It was something to see, really cool to see God working in some of the local Belize people. Then after all that we ended our day and went home to rest for a hard day at work, and that is what we got.
Today we finished putting the bracing up to hold the metal on the roof and we tore down the old roof from underneath the new roof (which we went through 3 sledge hammers, sorry YWAM). Today was another great day of hard work but I think the whole team is glad to put it behind us. We have been very blessed with no serious injuries other than the knocks and bruises you get when you give 23 people hammers, nails, a circular saw, pastor Kevin and no real adult supervision.
Well I guess that's it for now, we have team time in 5 minutes and it would be bad for me to be late so, we love you guys and Lord willing will see you Thursday night.
