Our arrival into Belize

Arrived in Belize on Tuesday, March 7th and stayed at the Global Village Hotel near the Belize City Airport.

First order of business was to get transportation.  We had two options of which neither were available to us by the time we arrived. (I.E. Both vehicles were sold).  We were able to find a very nice 2002 Toyota Camry which we purchased.  Getting both the insurance and title transfer proved to be another adventure.



After getting a vehicle and a local cell phone, then came the 3 hour trip into southern Belize, which we did solely from memory. Arrived into the Stann Creek District and was greeted by the missionaries, Dwayne and Linda Abernathy.  We told them it was not necessary for them to come to Belize City to meet us but we would see them in Stann Creek.

As we continue this blog, there are many more stories and photos to share already.

Raising a ‘Gibnut’

Image
While we were in line to get our lunch between services, we saw this Gibnut in a cage. The Belizians love the meat of this animal. This one was destined to provide them with a tasty barbecue someday. I have not personally tired it, (to my knowledge) but I would, given the chance. The Gibnut is a very sought after animal to raise and eat.  We were told it is very expensive to purchase Gibnut meat in Belize.

Meet Pablo and his family

Image
This is a story about God’s pursuit of man. A few weeks ago the power in our house went out. Since it was a hot day, I decided to do my bible reading out on our porch to try to catch a cooling breeze. As I was reading, I heard voices on the street below our house calling up to me. I looked over the railing and three women. They told me they were looking for  domestic work and did I know of anyone that was hiring. I told them I was sorry, but I did not. They smiled and started to walk away. As they began to leave, the Lord prompted me to invite them up to sit and rest and have something to drink. They gladly accepted my offer, as is common here. As we talked, they began to open up to me as to why they had to look for work outside their homes.  One women told me her husband had passed 3 years ago and that she was trying to raise  three children on her own. The other women, Pablos wife, shared with me that her husband was an alcoholic, and was therefore drinking the families money away.

Belize City Service

Image
This next set of pictures were taken in a church service in Belize City. This is a Spanish speaking church. You can see Missionary Dwayne Abernathy preaching with the help of an interpreter. I love these pictures of  a little girl and a grandmother responding to the presence of God they felt in this service.
