After I wrote my last post I remembered something. An acquaintance, named Julie, from my home church in MD, told me about her friends that are missionaries in Belize. This was about two years ago. Also, about two years ago, these very missionaries wrote John and I and told us to look them up once…

Please be in prayer for me tomorrow. John has asked me to meet him with money at the border for customs. A lot of the cash was used to fix the jeep so he needs extra to make it through customs. I have no cell phone (long story for later), I have the baby, and…

A Fish: Yesterday I was telling my Belizean friend Doris, how I love fresh fish. She was going fishing and it sounded so good. She came back with three. Later that day I saw her walking to the beach and I asked her what she was doing. She said, “I am going to clean this…

Well, I still feel like I’m here for a short term trip. The team was initiated with a flat tire on the Coastal Highway, I just said “Welcome to Belize”. Please pray for Evangeline, she has developed a runny nose and cough. I pray that it will not turn into something serious. I knew that…

Wow! What a day! Thank you to Angela Ankers for writing the “In the Crazy Airport, Prayers Appreciated” Post. I told her everything that was going on and she wrote it. What a stressful day. Now, it’s time to get used to daily living in Belize. I can’t believe I’m here. It does not feel…

Without going into too much detail, imagine everything you have to do at an airport ticket counter and security, and then imagine it all going wrong. That was my day yesterday. I’ll leave it at that. Let’s just say that my mom and I are in Atlanta until tomorrow because of snow, that still has…

Last night we took Evangeline for her last McDonalds visit. We have one here that has a toddler play place and she just loves it. As I watched her climb and laugh and walk it hit me that this “luxury” of a McDonalds play place will not exist for her any more. Playgrounds in general…

My mom was able to book another flight out of Williamsburg, VA for TOMORROW. She was supposed to meet me in Atlanta on Friday. Now, she gets to spend the night and help me through the airport on Friday. What a blessing. Please pray for my mom, Sally, and my Stepfather Matt and sister Jessica…

Well, my moms flight was canceled. She is on the phone now trying to work it out. Please pray. I will update later…
