Thursday was our last day of Vacation Bible School and our largest attendance - 280 in total. Suddenly it seemed like everything was over so quickly. We felt like we had connected to the
children and given them a mountain top experience. Children had come from other churches in the area, but some of the children were un-churched. Our prayer is that the children who got on the bus to come to VBS this week will get on the bus next Sunday and find themselves in Sunday School and connected to a caring Christian community.
This afternoon, we had the chance to go to Cahal Pech, one of the Mayan ruins, actually an archaeological site, and had a relaxing afternoon of team building and seeing something of the country's history.
Then tonight we had our last time
with the congregation of Lagoon Road, There was a wonderful dedication of the new upstairs children's rooms.The door where Hal and Rhonda are standing to lead in prayer was one Trinity workmen hung.
After this service, we shared a time of thanksgiving, a slide show of the week, a wonderful chicken dinner, hugs and laughter.
We also presented baby quilts to the mothers in the congregation.
May the excitment of that community stay alive within the folks there in Belize as you dirve away today knowing the folks of Trinity Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC are praying for them ~ job well done mission team as you were God's hands and feet this week. Have safe travels home today ~ I am eagerly awaiting your return! Love to you all - Robeta
