The construction team got an early start today and headed out at 7:00am. They worked on building one of two new houses. Another construction team installed a new roof for a local church.
The surgical team performed 12 surgeries. One of the early patients was a 4 month old boy named Jason. Jason was born with a cleft lip.
Here's his picture before surgery...
and after...
Another little 1 year-old Mennonite girl was in need of cleft palate repair. The Belizean government had wanted to take the girl from her parents to ensure she could be raised and fed properly. Her repair surgery was completed yesterday and her parents will now more easily be able to feed and take care of her.

Hello, Belize! Emma and I have tried to email you guys to say we're thinking about you. I don't know if you're getting them, but we are really enjoying the updates. We miss you, Doug!
The village medical team and the screen team stopped by today for a peek at the house. On the way there, we nearly flattened 4 goats with our van AND there was a loose cow, yes cow, out in the cane fields that chased the vans as we passed. Although we missed the construction team, we could tell they were busy today. Armondo Tek (sp?) was gracious enough to show us around the village. Prayers to him with the accident with the table saw.
