So, we're finally here!!! 27 hours of traveling later.. and 41 hours of no sleep! March 1st began with a drive to Buffalo airport, then a 3 hour plane ride to Atlanta, and the a 3 hour plane ride to Cancun Mexico. After that, we got into a stinky hot bus and rode 12 hours to the YWAM base. We got to the Belize YWAM base at 3:00 in the morning. We unpacked quickly and went straight to sleep.
The next day was filled with orientations, rules, and such. Saturday we all packed into the bus again and went to our placements. On the way, we bought an above ground pool for the base and we'll set it up as soon as possible. It was 30$ Belizian per person, so that's not bad at all. Right now I'm at my placement with Liesl. Tomorrow we're going to start working at a Learning Centre and we will be here for the next three weeks. The family is super nice and they said we might go snorkelling. We went swimming today in a river and it was sooo refreshing!
Liesl and I get our own cabin here because the family has a resort kind of thing for other missionary groups, but there aren't any here right now, but there will be next week.
Today is Sunday and we spent the day at a Mennonite church. It was basically the same as a church back home, but the girls wore skirts and no earrings, I felt like quite the outsider.
All for now!
