1) Nightly Scorpion Checks. 2) Can’t make dinner in under 1.5 hours. 3) Repeat after me “Toilet paper goes in the waste basket, not in the toilet”, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down.” 4) No hair dryer, no-make-up, no iron, no electric razor ( Yes, we look VERY natural)…

le Grand Tour
Thought we’d give you a tour of the new digs. Here’s the front of the place: And again from the front porch: This is the interior of the house from the front right corner. To the right, not visible in the picture are the kitchen and bathroom (door right next to the dresser drawers). The…
Settling In (pictures included)
After spending a few days in Belize getting insurance for the car, retrieving the satellite dish from the border, cleaning our Belize City apartment, grocery shopping and more, we are finally at the base settling into life. We are far from a daily routine, but that can change almost everyday. However, I would like some…
We made it.
After a 19 hour marathon drive yesterday, and a three hour drive this morning, we made it to the border by about 8:30. It took us ’til after noon to clear customs and was about three o’clock before I was re-united with Mel and Evangeline. It broke my heart a little bit when Evangeline woke…
NOT going to Corozal
Thank you all so much for praying. John wrote last night and because communication is limited did not think it was wise for me to come alone. I did not mean to cry “wolf” here and play with anyone’s emotions. I really thought I was going. Not sure why I went through all that just…
Every Blessing You Pour Out I’ll Turn Back to Praise
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…
A Road I’ve Never Taken- Literally
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…
All fixed up
So the whole thing ended up costing about $800 $300 for the clutch, $300 for the labor and $200 for an extra hotel night, meals, phone calls, etc.. Jeep runs great now and we’ll forge on tomorrow. We’re going to try to drive for about 16 hours to make up for lost time. It’s going…
A bump in the road
So you’re probably wondering how I have internet access on a night we were going to sleep in the Jeep… You know that tiny squeak in your car that you keep meaning to check out? Well mine went away about a week ago and didn’t appear throughout the first 1000 miles of our journey. I…
we’re across
All is well. Posting before we get out of cell range. Got the green light through customs, so no search required. Will update on Monday when I hitt Belize…
