About: Mel

Today was a good day. I spent most of the day filming the city. I must get over my fear of getting in the middle of a crowd. This is a third world country, and video cameras are usually not out and about. One man said to me, “So you filming da poor people, are…

Hi everyone! After two uneventful flights, I’m in Belize. I was greeted by the missionaries with hugs and kisses. It was great. It’s about 85 degrees with 80% humidity. Even still, I love this country that I will one day live in. So happy to be home…

I tried and tried to get to sleep last night and about 12:30 I finally drifted off. I had to wake up at 3:30 this morning. I’m tired. After a wrong turn to the airport we finally arrived. A kiss and a hug to John and I was on my way. Only to find out…

I’m packed and ready to go. I’m finally allowing myself to get excited!!! I can’t wait. The first couple of days I will be staying in the city with Basil and Vera. (This will allow me time to get plenty of footage of the city.) Then, on Sunday, we will pick up a team from…

Some of you know but some of you do not know that on Friday I will be in Belize!!! Yeah!!! I’ll be there for a week taking video. John and I need footage for our missionary video. John’s bro, Tim hooked me up with a very nice video camera (don’t worry Tim) and he gave…

We’ve had a few days to “settle.” Maybe one day I’ll tell you in more detail about our trip out here, but for right now just know that we were truly blessed by God. He gave us just what we needed when we needed it. Praise the Lord. He is good. We are living in…

I came a cross this video and I REALLY wanted to share it. John and I have been deeply burdened about the “prosperity gospel” movement and when I watched this video, it resonated through my soul. John Piper on the prosperity gospel…

We’re here! It feels a little weird being away from “home”, but this is our home now. I feel like I’m visiting still. I went around town today, well I guess it’s more like a city. I went grocery shopping which I desperately needed to do. I made it though the store only going down…

I’m writing this in the car so I can pass the time away. The GPS says we only have 96.5 miles to go. It’s been a long day. It started at 6 am central time and will end at 8:30 pm mountain time, you do the math, I’m too tired. We did make some stops…

We are safe in Oklahoma, enjoying time with our very good friends, Robert and Ronda Clawson. Here is a vlog of our flat tire. If you can’t tell, I was VERY tired at that point. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video…
