Hey I'm here!
Sorry it took 3 days to let you know, but I figured you would know that I'm alive...
CCSP is moved! Josh and I were delayed getting into Belize by and hour and a half, so we got to the Nab (old campus) on Sunday night, had supper and went to bed after discussing the game plan for Monday which was moving day! We had a team of 5 Belizeans plus the 5 of us CCSP staff to load up the entirety of CCSP’s earthly goods. We had most things (we thought) packed into the 2 prados, the van, and our bus by, minus all of our office desks, which didn’t fit in any vehicles. Then we drove over (20 minutes) and piled all our stuff on the covered verandas that surround the buildings.
Monday night was our last night at the Nab. And I was sad leaving Nabitunich. I know I'll be back to visit, but we are also leaving Succotz and all the people in the
village there that we have relationships with.
The new campus is an answer to prayer for the program, and we are all trying to remember this fact in the crazy business of moving and having to get the program running in 10 days before students arrive. Amid the intensity of the move, our staff team is trying to find time to get to know each other as we have two new staff members in our group of 5! It has been fun to get to know a bit about Josh and Gellie although it has only been a couple.
CCSP has moved, but we have not unpacked, nor do we have beds, mattresses, classroom tables, bookshelves for our 53 boxes of library books, dishes for the kitchen, or a working phone!

However, we do have an amazing orchard with avocados that are bearing fruit right now, 17 acres of tropical forest along the river with trails, and beautiful buildings.
Hope you are all doing well. It’s hot and humid here.
Love,
