My apologies for lagging behind on blogging
but have been full steam ahead loving on our missionary women. Day 5 (Thursday)
was really awesome because it was our first day to really get to spend time
with the ladies, eat meals with them, share afternoon free time with them,
etc. The worship and messages were on
target and meeting the needs of the women. Today (Day 6 - Friday) has continued
to be a very sweet day. We have all
laughed a lot and to be frankly honest shared a lot of tears.
I think husbands encourage their
wives to come to opportunities like this so they can get all their crying out
of the way about life in general. There
are several young missionary women here, both single and married, and it is
really awesome to hear their stories and hearts for God.
Tonight we had a sweet fellowship
time after the final message of the evening. The ladies here presented us with
a beautiful gift and a pound cake with caramel icing. Very sweet!! They also
shared what the retreat has meant to them even though we still have tomorrow
before we are finished up. Tomorrow night in this same hotel they are having an
event they only have 2 times a year where all the churches throughout Belize
come together for a night of worship. Many of the missionary women will come
back for that event. We of course will be attending because what an incredible
opportunity to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ in this country.
(Patty, I know you are jealous) Don't worry I will enjoy it for both of
us!!!
Pray for us as we finish up the
retreat tomorrow that God will continue to speak to hearts and that He will
minister clearly to anyone that has not heard His voice yet.
Love you guys. I am headed to bed.....exhausted
but Joyful!!
His,
Vickie
