Boarding the plane on Sunday in Belize City to head home brought yet another day of mixed emotions. We eagerly looked forward to sleeping in our own beds and seeing family and friends at home. Yet we were sad to be putting so many miles between ourselves and those we have come to love in Belize. Many of us turned this sadness into joyful anticipation as we look forward to returning to Belize next year. We began to feel pains of separation anxiety, realizing that the daily smiles and hugs from our team mates would not occur as frequently. We now share a bond with each other and a commitment to serving God that will last the rest of our lives.
We were glad to land safely at McGhee Tyson Airport. It was overwhelmingly wonderful to be greeted there by a large contingent of family members and friends. This ministry experience has certainly deepened our relationships with God, with each other, and with many people in Belize. We eagerly await what God has in store for us next!
