Woot!! today we woke up and guess what?? We are all still sweaty, bug bitten and feeling amazing about being here! SO, breakfast was pancakes and pinapple. I did a morning devotion for the group afterwards, and then we headed to the village for our second day of VBS and sports camp. We started out VBS with some songs and then split into groups. The theme was being "princesses" and "princes" of God. So for the craft we decorated burger king crowns and at music center we taught the song royalty from NSAC'S summer vbs. And the last station made balloon animals, which went great, but all the kids wanted to pop them.
Lunch was at Gentle's restaurant and it was amazing. Rice, beans, and stewed chicken with some sort of potato salad...yum...haha and during lunch, sophie, leah, krystal and myself all got our hair braided by some of the women in the village.
Sports camps consisted of relays including a shaving cream fight, races and skipping competitions. It was a complete success in addition to yesterday's soccer game and stella stella ola hand games. Coming back to base, we dove into the water to get refreshed after a long day
Dinner was pretty much the same as lunch and we ended this day with debrief :)

Note from the Leaders:

Today we finally did laundry. Everyone still smells terrible. But we love each other. It's cool to see the girls continuing in the relationships they began yesterday, feeling even more comfortable around the kids. They are really getting into the culture of Belize, the food and talk and weather. Please pray for continued energy and for the weather to keep holding up - it's been perfect!
