A final hello from the humble and united town of Unitedville! Yesterday we were blessed with a beautiful fun filled day with our new friends in Belize. We had the amazing opportunity to go zip lining through the Belizean rainforest. The lush greenery in the forest was a great reminder of how God works through nature. We then returned to In His Will to pack up and wash the vans we have been using on the trip. After some free time we all dressed up and headed into town for a nice group dinner with our team and our hosts. Sitting at dinner, it was crazy to think how close we have become to these people we didn't know existed a week ago. We all pray that our friendships will continue for years to come. After dinner we returned to In His Will and had a discussion session in which we reviewed our week and how we grew as a group in relationship with Christ. We all prayed over one another in what was a very moving spiritual service. At the conclusion of the prayers Amanda allowed us to stay up late for some fellowship and final group time. I went and watched the stars at the top of the hill and thought about how thankful I am to have been given the opportunity to go on this trip. As we send this final blog we would love to send all of our supporters grateful thanks for your alls' constant prayers and devotion to allowing us to go on this pilgrimage. We all have grown tremendously and found God not only in the people of Belize, but also in one another. This once in a lifetime opportunity truly has allowed us to view ourselves, the world around us, and our walk with God in a completely different way and we pray that these changes will urge us to return to the States and serve our brothers and sisters in Christ in all we do.
