Sunset Marina House

Finding housing in Belize has been a challenge and we took another step in finally getting long term housing.  We first stayed in a cabana on the Caribbean Sea then found a vacation rental home we called the Victoria Lookout.

Getting affordable and adequate long term housing was our next step.  We know the Lord lead us to our Sunset Marina house. Coming back from the village of Placencia, Carolyn noted a sign posted on tree.  We inquired about the property and turns out to be a new house build and the owner was there.

The owner was in the process of taking photos and preparing to post it online.  We found the house had what we were looking for, affordable and in a desirable area so we came to an agreement then and there.  Turns out, three other prospective tenants came by after us but the owner have agreed to let us move in.  The house is in a compound with another house which has two units in it. We found it is not unusual for multiple homes to be in a single compound. Below are photos of the Sunset Marina house.

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.
