Dear Families,
We miss you so much, it is hard to even quantify that in words. Being here in this poor country, many times we see that "family" is the only thing that these people have. Their material possesions are so small, their houses are in such poor repair - and yet the love is evident in every action. Grandsons attending to their grandmothers every need, parents so proud of their children, just a peaceful sense of family is second nature to the Belizians. And that is so wonderful to be around - it is a great example for us, and potentially the largest lesson that we will take away from this. However, right now, seeing all of this love and family, makes us ache to be near you, our loved ones. I don't think that there is a single one of us that hasn't cried in their few spare alone moments. So, please know that we love you, we miss you, and we are all safe. The mommies send kisses for their children. The wives send warm embraces to their husbands. But don't worry - we are sure to experience everything that we can while we are here, and I'm sure that we will all be better people for it in the end.

Glad to see that the week is going well! I can't wait to see my big sis, Kim, when she returns!!! The family is getting together for dinner at mom's tonight and our house tomorrow night and we are looking forward to spending time with the girlies!! I'm so jealous of the beautiful weather and surroundings, it looks amazing and I wish we were all there with you. I hope your next few days go well and bring back some heat for the rest of us!! By the way H1N1 has gone zoonotic, now we have to worry about our pets.
