We arrived safely in Belize Saturday afternoon and are settled in at the Baptist Training Center (BTC). Until Sunday evening we did not have Internet access, but now it seems to be working. Fingers crossed for continued access.

Sunday we worshipped at Camalote Baptist Church, had a quick lunch at the BTC, then took off for an afternoon adventure. Our first stop was at Green Hill Butterfly Farm. They raise butterflies from egg, to caterpillar, to pupae, to chrysalis and butterfly. In the butterfly house we walked among 2,000 butterflies of many colors. We then drove further into the jungle to a trail that led to Big Rock Falls, a 100-foot waterfall with two pools at the base. Many made the steep hike down to the falls and several brave should jumped from the large rocks into the water.

We ate dinner at the Orange Restaurant; a traditional Belizean meal of stewed chicken, rice and beans, and potato salad. Several enjoyed one of three delicious desserts. We ended the evening with devotions at the BTC and headed to our rooms for a good night's sleep.
Monday, the medical team will be at Camalote Baptist Church for an all day clinic, and the construction team will begin work on the sheep barn at the Belmopan Baptist High School. We are praying for a good day tomorrow as we begin our mission work.
