Two are there, twenty to follow..

Tom and Tere arrived in Belize on Friday ahead of the team to prepare our way and set the stage. They attended the graduation of Emerson. He is the first of the seasons graduates that Ft City Presbyterian Church is following.

Last week our team had our Packing Party. After consuming lots of good food prepared by awesome support staff coordinated by Linda Schnoor, we packed and weighed 25-30 twenty two gallon tote boxes. We loaded our Living Tree bags for the students Los Tambos School, household items, dresses and shorts hand crafted by our own Flannel Floozies, books, school and VBS supplies. Each of these will be a team members suitcase allowed on flight.
This week we finish up our last minute packing and prepare ourselves for what our mission needs from us as we "Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus".

Pre-Tripping

Countdown to Belize Mission Trip 2013!
Our wonderful team of 22 will be leaving Fountain City in just over 2 weeks! We have planned for our travel and are being flexible with the itinerary. Life in Belize runs a little slower than we are used to, but we know we will accomplish all that we are supposed to. Today Tere reminded us that we have travel buddies-another body on the trip that will be sure we don't forget to return. 
For some it will be their first trip-it is always exciting to see how the newbies are affected. Stay tuned.

As a pre-trip workout out team rallied together during Operation Inasmuch in April 2013. We worked at Ft City Elementary doing landscapework and enjoyed a cookout that afternoon.
