Our time in Belize is drawing to a close! Friday afternoon we paid a visit to some good friends, Nehru and Norma, who were our neighbors where we've stayed in past years. They belong to the Nazarene church and have hearts committed to seeing the Gospel spread in Belize. It is always an encouragement to spend time visiting with them.
Yesterday Dale and Albert spent the day at Presbytery which was held in Belize City. They left at 6 am to meet the bus load of presbytery delegates at the "cut-off" by Cornerstone School. They made the 2 hour trip to Belize city, picking up more delegates along the way from San Narciso, San Jose, Orange Walk. ( Dale didn't take the camera, sorry there are no pictures.) Alvaro was the moderator and the meeting lasted from 9 to 4:30, and then they made the 2 hour trip back on the bus. Dale was encouraged by a few men who have already started reading and getting further insight from the book on Shepherd Leaders.
We are enjoying our last tastes of Belize - Friday evening we went to Cactus Plaza for some good salbute's and panuchos. Last night Dale and Albert met Romalda and I at RD's for a late meal of fried chicken. Romalda had a fried red snapper - the entire fish! She said it was delicious. After Sunday School in San Narciso this morning, we had our third of three Sunday dinners at Romalda's mom's in Patchekan ~ Rice and Beans & Stew chicken. The Zantingh's have this meal at grandma's house EVERY Sunday. We are going to have to keep up the habit - I told Dale I'd be preparing this meal every Sunday from now on! Anyone want to join us?
This is Romalda peeking out from her mother's kitchen.
In a little while we will be going to San Narciso for Sunday worship at 5pm and tomorrow morning we will drive back to Belize City for our flight home. We appreciate your prayers for our safe travel.
We certainly have been blessed by our time here! We especially want to thank our hosts, Albert and Romalda who have been most gracious to us. They have given us use of their car, fed us well, kept our clothes clean, and are dear friends - they always make us feel so "at home" here in Belize.
