Greetings From Belize! March 22nd, 2009

Greetings From Beautiful Belize!

With a few hiccups we are in Belize City safe and sound!

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and came to Tim Tam's (the missionary) house called "The Manse." The Manse is located in the heart of Old Belize City and our front door overlooks the ocean. So far, we have been following the mantra "work hard and play hard." On Saturday we spilt up into two construction teams and one group went to level a gravel driveway and knock down an old water tower while the second group laid a concrete wall for a school in a poverty stricken area.

Today, Sunday, we had a day off. We went to Banana Bank (a ranch) where we had the choice of staying near a pool to relax or horse back ride. The majority of us took up the horse back riding and trotting, galloped and laughed our way through the landscape of tropical jungles! We all tagged the day as "epic" and are quite tired from a day of sun and play.

So you all know, we are all very safe and well taken care of. We are enjoying ourselves and truly are praising God for His faithfulness throughout our lives and this trip.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Please pray for safety, growth in the Lord for EACH person, and for the people of Belize.

We will write soon!
Much care,
The Belize Team

Hi to Belize explorers from Jan and Joe Narracci. Please know our prayers are with you as you play hard and work hard - or maybe it's the other way around.
Have fun loving and working together.

Here it is Wednesday and we're sure you are all still working and playing hard. We pray that all is well and everyone is healthy. Please tell Will Narracci that we could have his car at the airport if he wants it there.
Prayers for you all. Jan and Joe Narracci
