Belize: Part 4

Saturday we had two services. We sang, danced, and shouted until we demonstrated an extreme form of "glowing". It was so. unbearably. humid. 
But the services were wonderful, so who cares! (Right?!)

This young man received the gift of the Holy Ghost, along with many others!



In Belize, the women use coconut shavings and juice in the rice. It is so very tasty!

Beloved industrial-sized fan

You're gonna pray through whether you want to or NOT!

The dinner line

Saturday night there was a talent show. There were lots of skits and special songs. We had a good time cheering and laughing, but the Lord also met us there!

A hilarious skit Bro. Mark put on

Another skit...

They did an awesome job!

Rain, wonderful rain!


I did Sis. Haley's hair one afternoon and Josey saw. After church on Sunday she came bee-boppin' her way into our room and told me, "Do my hair!"
Alright then! She sat there like a good little girl, handing me bobby pins like a pro.

We then gave her a handful of Fruity Pebbles which she ate as she fell asleep.
A few times during her nap, she woke up, stuffed a handful of cereal into her mouth, and went back to snoozing. She had us rolling laughing!

Trespassers will be persecuted!
Beautiful Belize sunrise

Monday morning we woke up bright and early and flew home!


Leaving Belize...

...coming into Mexico City. See the difference? One is green and beautiful..the other is smoggy and polluted.

And this my dear friends, was our trip to Belize!

Belize: Part 3

In Belize, there are a ton of Mennonites. They all ride in buggies, wear dresses or overalls, and don't let you take their picture. We stopped at their little store to do some shopping.

 Technically, no men are allowed behind the counter. But I guess on Fridays it's okay because there they were...


 Friday night was the first service. It felt so weird to be in a different country, surrounded by brown-skinned people, but singing in English. We started out by singing Down From His Glory, and it just felt funny. 
The Holy Ghost began to move, however, and all thoughts of languages and foreign countries left my mind as we entered into the presence of the Lord.

 Where would I be? You only know. 
I'm glad you see through eyes of love...
The youth choir brought down the anointing!

 Bro. Ben Weeks sang and preached the first night.



After the service had ended, Bro. Joiner got up to do a few announcments. He had two translaters--one speaking Kekchi and the other Spanish.

 After church, we all headed over to the fellowship hall for dinner.

What a cutie! 

Major animal lover!

It was hot, hot, HOT in Belize! But thank God for popsicles and coooooooold showers!
