Friday, March 22 - Day 3 

Day three had many opportunities for the whole group to participate in. We continued on at the school with the art camp, began working on the new sign for the base, worked in the classrooms, started the building projects at the school and on the YWAM base, played Volleyball and had some amazing devotions led by Madeleine, Allie P, Madi and Colten.  

We woke up with the sound of rain on our tin cabin roof and as we stepped outside into the day we new it would be a good one.  We had a hearty breakfast of french toast, sausage and assorted fruit.  Some of us skipped off to the school to spend another day with the little ones and they were super excited and had lots to tell us - Madeleine was invited for the second time to a little girls birthday (which is in December...)  The rest of our team stayed at the base and worked on tearing down some buildings and scrubbing off the paint on a sign that will be repainted.  

We then had a lunch of nachos and scurried off looking for rocks to paint with the kiddies at the church tomorrow!  After the rock picking we went for a quick dip in the creek which was refreshing and tranquil.  Then we came back to the base to go to the Art Box, where we were astounded by the incredible art and delicious frozen treats. :)

After the art box we split up again!  Some of us went to help coach and play volleyball with a local club and it was very exillirating!  We were able to really connect and relate to the girls and they were very talented and dedicated to their sport.  

The other group came back and ate a dinner of homemade tortillas!  And then played cards and games with the kids on the base until the volleyball group came back.  

When we sat down for devotions we began with singing.  After the chorus of song we listened to John speak about some of the amazing work that YWAM Belize is doing and heard a bit of his story.  John is the assistant director of YWAM.  Then the amazing ”Forest and the Gumps” lead devotions and we played a fun and meaningful game to demonstrate material poverty!  

It has been a inspiring and fulfilling day!
