Well happily we are here to report that after about 3 looong years of praying, planning and waiting, we are here in SUNNY Belize! Thanks to the efforts of many (you know who you are..) We are so blessed to be living in a very functional and lovely old farmhouse next door to some very dear friends. It has been such a joy getting to know them better. The community that we are living in is comprised of many different churches and folks. It was originally started by the Kleine Gemeinde Mennonites back in the late 50's. There was a split in the church in the 90's. Now living along side the Kleine Gemeinde Mennonites are many different church groups as well. We have met a Calvary Chapel minister as well as a few people who belong to the Witness Lee group. There are Mayan villagers and Creole who also work in the area and do their shopping here. So far we are attending the traditional Mennonite church as they are probably the closest, doctrine wise, to our family. We have very much been enjoying getting to know all of the folk here though. And all have made us feel so tremendously welcome.

Here are 2 links to some photos.. we hope to keep this blog updated now that we have internet hooked up.

We are so grateful for the Lord's provision for you. I (sj) Love the farmhouse you all are in. It is perfect for you and I hope you can stay there for a long time.
We will keep praying for His best in those decisons.

These photos are all great, but the one of Grace and the kitten is outstanding, and could be on a Calendar.

Funny to be seeing you now, and still visiting your blog. LOL!
