US Marines Landed

Two US Marines Landed ...... at our house!!

For the rest of the story ....... Our neighbor had one of his nephews coming to Belize for a weeklong visit along with a friend, both of whom are US Marines.  He asked if they could stay with us in the lower level screened in area. Our neighbor has a very small house with no room for both visitors.

We had been using the lower level for storage being we 'lived' upstairs.  The lower level has a bathroom and an outside shower as well.  The lower level is only 'screened', hence there is no a/c there. Staying there was most certainly an adventure in itself.

Cody, pictured on the left, is the neighbor's nephew from Missouri and Sergio is from Southern California.  There were no issues at all while they were here.  We did hear about an eventful night they had the last day they were here.  I'll have to leave those details out of this blog posting.

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.

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.

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.
