God protects Belize yet again...

We are praising the Lord for the sudden change in direction of Hurricane Felix. We are however still thinking and praying for those in Nicaragua and Honduras who got absolutely hammered by the HUGE storm. The eye was headed straight for central Belize and turned about 48 hours before hitting us. So all we got was a couple of feeder bands with decent wind and heavy rain. Nothing that we haven't seen before. So if you think of it, pray for those that are in the worst hit areas. It sounds pretty bad! Here is a story on the hurricane. GLOBAL ARTICLE

We continue to do well. School is becoming a real cool thing. God is showing us new things everyday. Our schedule is mostly getting up in the morning at about 6am, being at school by 7am and then starting school at 8am. We get home in the evening at 6pm or a little later usually. And then we shower, eat and go to sleep at around 9pm. During the week we don't have much of a life. haha! But somehow God gives us strength for it! He has been so good to us in the last 2 months as we undergo huge changes in plans! From a house being available to our decision to stay, God has been preparing the way ever since we started this transition. Praise God!

We would love to hear from you! Our e-mail address is bmdueck@hotmail.com... drop us a note! Also you can see pictures of our life at bmdueck.myphotoalbum.com.

God bless,

Hurricane Felix sets its sights on Belize...

So about 2 weeks ago we had a threat from what was called Hurricane Dean. This week we find a new threat that is supposed to, on its current track crash into the Belizean coast on Wednesday overnight. This one is going quite a bit south of what the last one did, so we are very concerned about it. It has jumped from yesterday morning being a Tropical Storm with winds of 30 or 40 MPH, to today being a Category 5 storm with winds of 165 MPH. Gusts were up to 200 MPH at about 7 o'clock. So we prepare again this week for the worst. If that hits here, it could do serious damage to everything. Corn crops are about 2 weeks from harvest, it is not good for the farmers. If winds like that hit here, buildings wouldn't stand a chance. Please just pray that somehow the storm would break up. We'll keep you updated on this storm.

Other than that, we have updated some pictures on the photo album site... click here if you want to be taken there.

We miss you all and hope to hear from all of you soon!

God bless,

I will also try and keep you updated on our teaching experience as well.

So far we have a week under our belts. Our week was very tiring and is getting quite a bit better as we go along. Keep praying! We are having a blast in our new jobs even if it is tiring. Getting streched all over the place!

God bless,
