Unexpected happening #1: A week ago the two pastors at our church whom we’ve gotten to know very well invited us to go to Belmopan for the Belize culture festival. They communicated to us their desire for John and I to spend time together and they said they would pay for everything festival related. We…

I Dream of Monday Night Dinners
One night we had Italian from Giada de Lorentes, another it was a scrumptious salad from Ina Garten, the next Monday it was a homemade french strawberry tart from Julia Child. What restaurants were we going to? Home. When we lived with the Murnighans we had what we called “Monday Night Dinner”. No matter what,…
Green Eggs and Easter?
I wrote this almost a month ago. Enjoy! The other day John and Basil went to Dangriga because the team that is coming on Monday is going to repaint the school. At the hardware store they went to John found a “Hello Kitty” Easter egg decorating set. He got it as a surprise for Evangeline…
The Skinny
Here is the skinny on what’s happening with us. We are in Belize City right now and we have internet. John thinks that he can get the internet working when we get back to the base today. Please pray that this will happen. Basil has left for the states for five weeks to visit Vera…
Gone in 60 seconds
First, our laptop was stolen last week. We just found out today. We were hoping we left it at our Belize apartment but knew in our hearts it was gone. It is. It was stolen in 60 seconds while John was loading the jeep right in front of the apartment. Just like that. Snap. Snatch…
The Heat is On!
It’s beginning to get really warm here in Belize. One day we had a day with no wind. Those days make you want to crawl out of your skin and into a freezer. The past week we have been leading a team. They built a house in the village and did a WONDERFUL job. It…
October, Fatigue, Morning Sickness… What does that Spell?
Pregnant. Yes, I am pregnant. I’ve know since a week after I got to Belize. I am at nine weeks right now. A whole month has gone by and I’ve been nauseated through it all. I’ll be honest, unpacking was miserable. I’m still not done. It’s been difficult trying to keep Evangeline entertained through everything…
A Hot Shower and Amazing Grace- and POP TARTS to Boot!
Hot showers do not exist at the base. They are cold to lukewarm at best. If your like me, then you feel your best after a nice hot shower (even on a warm day). Since it’s March, and not the middle of the heat of the summer, the water in the tanks are even cooler…
A Need
The past week we have been trying to get our workers visa’s. We have been bounced between Belmopan (capital) and Belize city. We finally have an appointment in Belize City for Thursday. Then, a team comes in on Saturday. Thank you all for praying for our bible studies on Thursday night. We had a good…
The Start of Something New
John and I are in observation mode right now with the village. We would like to talk with the villagers and really assess their needs and see what ministries can grow from that. However, there are things that we can start now that we can see are immediate. One thing I noticed is that there…
