Belize Mission and Retreat Today we made it to the base. It was a long drive w/some roads paved the rest were dirt road with potholes. We stopped in Gales Point picked up people that work at the base, & arrived at the base. Had lunch & orientation & free time until dinner. We walked a little in the Caribbean & the rest of the time we played sp...oons. We ate dinner, prepared for tomorrow. We're now playing games. Awesome just like last time.

Belize Mission and Retreat John and Mel Bjorgen the family that will be joining us are trying to raise their final costs for their move, and would like prayer that God provides them with a Christmas miracle. They still need $15,000 to be able to leave the states and make their final move to Belize.
