Pilgrim's Journal - Day 1

We had a wonderful first day on the ground in this tropical paradise. The heat and humidity greeted us warmly and we new from that point forward - water was going to be our best friend.

An unexpected surprise - WV and St. Marks made it on the same plane from Miami so there was an immediate connection. We planned and prayed on the airplane - developing an instant friendship.

After the long day of travel we ate at Bird Isle which overlooks the ocean. After lunch we began our week long pilgrimage at historic St. Johns Cathedral. Built with bricks from Europe in 1812 it was a fascinating building with an interesting history. Its early Bishops were in charge of the entire Central American district. We had a team encounter time there, prayed together for our week, and headed to YWAM Belize - where we are staying.

As soon as we arrived we were asked to walk across a suspension bridge built by the British Military in order to get to our compound. Once across we found our cabins and headed to the dining hall .

After orientation and dinner we showered up, discussed the days events, looked forward to the rest of the week and participated in Compline - where we specifically thought about and prayed for Lucy!

After 19 hours we were ready for bed. Tomorrow - our focus will be on the topic of Sacrifice and what is means...
