Our Victoria Peak Lookout

The Lord has amazed us again by opening a door to a new residence, just 5 minutes from the missionaries.  We are calling it 'Our Victoria Peak Lookout', because of the view overlooking the lagoon to Mount Victoria, the highest mountain peak in Belize.


It is a two story structure with the lower level being screened in and set up for entertaining and extra sleeping quarters. There is both an outside and inside shower. The upper level is the main living quarters with two sleeping areas and an open porch. The style of the home is certainly Belizean summer casual built by the owners with the help of the local Mayan people.



It even has its own residence crocodile resciding in the nearby canal.  The missionaries made it known that there 11 lbs Jack Russell terrier will not be visiting with us.

    Now that is awesome! I'm assuming you don't have to deal with cold weather.

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

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.
