San Ignatio Farmer's Market W/ The Inions

We had such a fun time with the Inion family at the San Ignatio Market. (see their blog link on our sidebar) They recently moved from Lancaster County, PA. They have most recently been a part of a small fellowship much like ours. Their fellowship was very involved in reaching out to the converted Amish people. They also have been involved with the Beachy Amish/Mennonite Church and spent 2 years in the Phillipines. They have such a heart for the Lord and are now serving in Belize. We look forward to spending more time with them.






The Market in San Ignatio was quite a bit cleaner than the one we experienced in Belmopan. Also it was about twice the size. We met quite a few people from the States at this market as Cayo is a very popular tourist spot.



We all were able to travel in the Inion's bus which was a blessing since gas is close to $5.50 US a gallon! It took a while but we were finally able to find a nice parking spot within walking distance of the market.




The Inions are a very precious family.. they have 4 biological children and also 4 adopted special needs children. They have been a great encouragement to our family.

The Inions come from a group who are not shy about street preaching and challenging those who are preaching an unbiblical message. They stood here gently challenging this Universalist for about a half hour.Please pray for those in this area who are targeted by many cults and false doctrines.


Our sweet Amanda~ Please keep her in your prayers as she has been experiencing a few health challenges due to the climate adjustment.















Back to the bus after a long afternoon at the hot market



Hadassah and Gracie in their 3 year old sweetness :)





We used to think things like getting your shoes shined was an extremely luxurious and 'spoiled American' thing to do. However, in a third world country, paying this Guatemalan man his asking price of $1.00 Belizean helps bring food home to his family.




The boys examine the street scene. Josiah has been a great friend for Grant. He is a boy much like Grant, does everything wholeheartedly and is a boy's boy! :)

After a long, HOT day at the market, Stacey-jean and I found these Starbucks lattes. The Inions were so sweet to treat us to one. :) Once in a while it is nice to get a bit of taste of home..
