Hey Everyone...
We're back in Belize- but not the warmth! The temp here is in the 60's, cool weather for Belize and sheer bliss for any Wisconsin(ite). sorry family and WI friends!
We jumped right in...planning for the next Discipleship Training School (beginning March 29th) and the international teams that will be coming in February and March. Its a packed schedule ahead and we're looking forward to it!
Thank you to all our friends and family that made our time at home a JOY! I wish we had more time to spend with some...whatever the time frame, it always seems too short.
Please keep us in prayer as we step ahead into this season. God has been faithful and we look to Him for all of our needs. Pray for students, that they will each follow God's leading to be here and come with prepared hearts to receive all that will be imparted. Also for staff to join us in this journey- we realize we need others to come alongside.
We look forward to hearing from you-let us know how you're doing and how we can pray for you.
Blessings to you All!

Fun in the snow!
Greetings from Wisconsin
Happy new year to all!! We hope 2009 finds you all well and full of expectation of what the coming year will hold.
This month of being home has been a good time: spending time with family. It as also been restful and fun!! We spent some time with Mervin and Andy, who came to visit our family and us all the way from Belize. We brought them sledding and snowmobiling, thanks to my cousins and my dad's friend Mickey...we had a great time in the snow, they actually liked it.
We head back to Belize on Tuesday! keep us in you prayers for traveling mercies.
Peace,
Omar & Alyssa Myrie

Hope everyone is well and having fun preparing for Christmas...its such a special time of year, I love it!

Break Time
Well, we've had a good stretch...DTS left (it was emotional) and a team from South Carolina arrived. It was a crazy schedule but the people were great!!! God knows what you need and He blessed us so much with this group of 22.
I have a few stories: I had the privilege to hang with Ms. Abby (her husband is our pastor down here) and two of the team members that are special education teachers. We visited schools where there is the beginning of special ed classes for students with special needs. Then the difficult part came when we saw some of the children that weren't in the classroom. My heart just broke and the way Lisa and Beth (the teachers) cared for each one was amazing. It was a small picture of God's unconditional love and His passion for His children. I was so blessed to hang out with these wonderful women, learn from them and see the serious state Belize is in; some of these students with special needs get no attention. Ms. Abby describes it as going back in time, its like the civil rights movement in the U.S. The government doesn't really show interest in these children and so you have to fight for every forward motion.
Another quick God moment- with this team we visited the Belmopan hospital, had the opportunity to visit the "just mothers" and "waiting to be mothers." Taylor and I (a young woman from the team) met a young mother, Penny. Penny is pregnant with her second child and in the hospital because of her diabetes. She had been there for several days and seemed kind of hesitant to talk but after asking questions, she really opened up, began crying and just confessing how loneliness was plaguing her. It was a beautiful moment of just seeing God's divine appointment and His perfect timing in sending us. Penny thanked us for being there and talking, Taylor gave a Bible to her and we were able to pray for her. Penny recounted how she was telling God she was so lonely and had no one- but the time was perfect. She was an encouragement to me and a reminder of how God knows us to the depths.
I loved this week and all its unexpected moments- thanks East Lake Church, South Carolina, for being an encouragement and light to us all!!
---------------------------
Omar and I head home on Thursday- we begin the trip tomorrow by riding the bus to Cancun and then fly out Thursday morning to Chicago...can't wait to see my family!!! (not so excited for the weather- I like seeing my painted toenails here, not in Wisconsin, that's for sure!) Pray for safe travels...
Blessings!
