Belize

Hello from Belize…we have made it to the final week of our trip! When we arrived here we were awed by the beauty of this country. There are tropical jungles covering the myan mountains and turquoise oceans lining white sandy beaches.  Even the bush has a rough and dignified beauty.

We were picked up by Pastor Ron from the airport; he is a true New Yorker…accent and everything.  Once we fit all of our luggage into the back of his pickup truck we were off to Blackman Eddy, which is a village about 1.5hours away from the airport.

When we arrived we immediately knew that this would be the perfect end to our trip! We were excited to discover working showers WITH HOT WATER, English speaking people and wonderful American food is served at the compound! We were also thrilled to discover the motto that the team has been living by for the past several weeks: “work hard, but play harder." 

The team does work very hard. They have spent many a day painting houses, building, washing cars. or doing anything else that Pastor Ron needs help with, but in return he makes sure that they have tons of fun during their time off. Hearing their stories makes us just a little jealous. They have seen myan ruins,  gone to sink holes and caves, been cliff jumping, tubing and even slid down waterfalls.

We are excited to start our work here and are believing that we will get our best footage yet. We have had 3 previous teams to practice on now we are going to pull out all of the stops.

Team Awesome Amazing Americas is ready to rock Belize’s face off!!!
