Jesus in a PBJ

Thursday June4,2015
I was hungry and you gave me food,I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit. Matthew 23;35-36
Today is our last work day. It's party day, but its a sad-say goodbye day. Some of our team leave early ,missing devotion,to be sure we get our projects done. Twenty well worn bikes have been repaired.some needed tubes,handlebars, and chains. Included in the free repair was a lesson in taking care of  your bike. One group knocked holes in the teachers shower for ventilation, repaired a pipe that little feet had stepped on, built a bench over the pipe to prevent breaking, and made the shower operational. The old latrines were demolished, rafters in three classrooms were painted,a few home visits were completed. It was a hot day. About 6 folks stayed back for a couple of hours to make 350 peanut butter sandwiches and pack lunches for the community party. 
We're having a party? Yep, all the Floozie frocks ,shirts, baby blankets, bags were distributed , along with lunches ,drinks and bananas. While a distribution plan was made, we were still a bit overwhelmed,requiring a bouncer(Don). Language was only a small barrier.  The line of Mamas awaiting new clothes was long, but all got something. Their eyes lit up at such cute creations. They also picked up family photos (Kelly)made earlier. We saw several of these in the homes we had visited.
Prior to this, we gathered for an assembly. The children presented poems, a dance and a skit .all were rehearsed and wonderful! They presented each team member with a nice framed certificate.the teachers and students are so appreciative. Many a tear ,mixed with sweat were shed . We celebrated 9students who finished this school, 6 wish to further their education. They were given Bibles. We recognized the teachers with gift bags of classroom goodies.
Several former students dropped by to say Hey. It is so good to see them and learn of there success!
Some of them show off babies of their own.(wow).

We cleaned up a weeks worth of construction remnants, a mess of banana peels , and said goodbye to our Belize family. We are late to supper tonight, but it is worth it. We are a tired, hungry, satisfied bunch. After supper we had worship service, shared encouraging words about each other  and communion. We packed, vacuumed the mud from our vans,showered and hit the hay.
