Well, it is finally happening. We are going to Belize... Yahoo.... It has taken several months to collect funds and make the contacts needed to have a safe and rewarding trip.
We fly from Pittsburg to Houston then to Belize City. Once in Belize City we have 45 mins to get through customs and on the next flight. We are told that this is not a nice place to be as a foreigner. Petty crime is very high and not controlled by the police. The best adivce we got is dont be there long. We were given several phone numbers of local brothers if a problem should arise. We then get on a very small plane to Dangriga Town where a nice couple will pick us up for the 45 min ride to Hopkins. There we have reserved a private cabana on the beach to unwind.
This cabana is on stilts has one large room with a porch that over looks the carribean. Doesn't sound bad, HUH? We will be there for three days, after that we have to move to a house on the beach--- darn?! ; ) then we will have a kitchen to cook. Apparently the only time this place is busy is the middle of January! Divers come to dive on the barrier reef and bird watchers come this time also. It is right after the hurricane season and all is very calm here. AND>>> it is cold and snowy in the States driving sun lobers to the south. SOOO, after 6 days of rental houses we were invited to house sit for a couple. Their house is AGAIN on the BEACH!! but now we will have internet. The best part is that we get all the bible studies this couple has for two weeks!! Field service is from their house-- nice since we will have to travel on bicycles. They told us we will have a true Belizean experience-- one to remember
I truely hope that Clancy and Collin see another side to life. A simple one. One that can lead them to serve Jehovah and feel the peace and freeness that whole souled service can give. The blessings are sure to be piled high and we will all feel refreshed when we return.

You all are going to have a great time! Enjoy Field Service and the Beach.
What a beautiful motive for such a fabulous trip! I hope you are successful in your efforts to avoid pickpockets. We visited Costa Rica in November a few years ago, and it was a very smooth trip. We had more mosquito problems than anything else!
Wow, how many folks would love to live vicariously through you!?! Have a wonderful trip!!!!!
