I feel a little awkward putting the word "Belize" in the title again because we've yet to the see the country. Todd and I left Columbia this morning at 3:30 AM but when we arrived in Miami our flight was cancelled. They put us on standby for the next flight but it was overbooked and we didn't make it. So we're stuck at an airport hotel waiting on the next flight which doesn't leave until tomorrow at 10:55 AM. Basically we've lost another day. We tried contacting the team but it's almost impossible to get a hold of anyone because the cell phones won't work. I guess by now they've figured out that we missed our flight.
Today the team was supposed to set up our first medical clinic. They'll offer free medical, dental, and pharmacy services to the people of the Burrell Boom community. Pray for their endurance because I'm sure they are working in a small building with no air conditioning. Hopefully we'll join them tomorrow.

I know it is a little late to say so, but when you go on mission trips; take reading glasses, they don't need subscriptions and they are around a $1. Unless you know a store manager who could cut you a deal. You could easily give away a thousand over a 7 day trip.
We had a dentist give us a thousand toothbrushes once, they were popular as well.
Update from Wes...they saw about 200 at the clinic today, Fann pulled 30+ teeth and they gave away 100+ glasses. Most likely that means that tomorrow will be busy since we're returning to the same village. Assuming of course that Todd and I get out of Miami.
Something to watch while you guys are stuck in Miami......
