Hello from Sunny Belize.
Here are just a few things that are on my schedule for the next three months.
Working with International Team
Wednesday, June 8th I turn 54!!
Sat, June 18th - I will be hosting a fundraiser at our church for 7 single mothers to help with their school supplies and school fees at the same time we are doing a BBQ Chicken sale for the Freedom House Ministry! (The Freedom House is a ministry/home for prisoners that come out on parole or are freed but need a place to be mentored and discipled. I am the Chair Person for the board) .
Working with International Teams this summer! (3 teams)
I also serve with my Belizean Church "Step Of Faith Bible Fellowship" as an Elder, Secretary and youth director.
My weekly schedule:
Ms Tuty is coming to stay with me for the next two months. She is an old friend of mine. She lead a sponsorship ministry for school children and is resigning and moving back to the United States. For the next two months she will be staying with me while she is handing the ministry over to another missionary couple. It will good times.
I will be heading to Ohio for a week to visit some dear friends. They are flying me up for a week and then driving me to Ingersoll.
I plan to be home around September 1st. My oldest sister will be celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary in September and so I want to be home for that. At this time, I believe this will be the only time that I will be home for a visit.
One more update: I am no longer serving with Samaritan's Purse Belize...it truly got way to busy for me. But I have been asked to continue with Samaritan's Purse International, so I am still the Master Trainer for the Caribbean.
I do want to THANK YOU for all your prayers, friendship and financial support.
Keep smiling for Jesus
Blessings
