Lyndsey at School

Each day she brings water and a healthy snack.
    Lyndsey is enrolled in Kindergarten in Belize.  She loves it.  Each day she is exposed to Belizean Kriol, Spanish and Proper English.  The schools in Belize are a very basic cement structure with lots of windows.  Each day the children are released from school at 11:30 to walk home for lunch with their families.  They return for afternoon session at 1:00 until dismissal.



Each day Lulu is picked up from school by her sisters.  Today was Kaia and Tyler.

Preaching To The Most Distant Parts Of the Land!

Although Belize is about the size of Massachusetts, we still travel to places that amaze us and make us wonder, "How did the truth ever get here?". We have the privilege in preaching in these far-flung areas, making sure they get an  invitation to an upcoming worldwide event! Many are accepting with opens hearts so far and hopefully many will attend.




Lyndsey leading the way!


Lulu always find fun in the field.

This territory is called Hillview.  Wonderful hills and beautiful views! Preaching with Shalinie and Joe from our English Congregation.
This is called a road.

1st Circuit Assembly in Belize

 On February 28, 2015, our Circuit Assembly was held in Ladyville,Belize. Our  destination was approximately two hours away, so each year the brother makes arrangements to rent a bus. Therefore, we boarded the bus at
6 in the morning and arrived at the assembly hall around 8. The time flew by with all the encouraging conversations and loving fellowship with our dear brothers and sisters. The program was wonderful as always, as we sat in a assembly hall that had no side walls... So as we enjoyed the various parts of the program, we also enjoyed the sunshine and cool breeze. It was truly another unique experience of Belize.
Our dear local Brother Cardinal.  My dear friend Cori who flew in for 5 days to share time with me and the girls.  That is love!

Our Worldwide Brotherhood!

Friends visiting from OHIO
We finally understand what that truly means. Where ever you go, you can be confident that you have a family that really loves you. The friends have helped us in so many ways from getting us a house to stay in to making sure we have pillows to sleep on at night. We absolutely have experienced the love that Jesus said would identify his disciples. Blessings from Jehovah continues to strengthen our faith and reaffirm our resolution!

FOOD AND MORE!

    The very first thing we noticed in Belize was the food...of course.  In Belize City, I consumed the best plate of fried rice.  It was simply amazing.  The local Sisters are teaching us how to use veggies and spices that are new to us.  I truly enjoy using chlorancho in many of my dishes.  This is an intensified version of cilantro.  Amazing indeed.  Enjoy the food pics below.  We miss all of you dearly and will see you sometime during the Spring.

One of the best restaurants in Belize City.

Tipico Salvadoreno meal.
Making Casava Pudding, the old fashioned way.


Cow foot soup. Dare to try?

No need for hands!!! Good Ol' BBQ.

Black chicken soup w/ boiled eggs. So tasty!!

Coconut water. Who needs a cup! 

Homemade Casava Hashbrowns. Better than Waffle House.
