Belize Days 5 and 6....


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
