God's Word - Property - Plans

Yesterday was an exciting day learning more about the book of Acts from God’s Word, working on the property (which included fixing a wheel barrow), receiving the almost finalized building plans from the Belizean draftsman and having a fellowship by the sea.

The property  continues to be filled and built up. Not only did we fill the 60’x40’ area with mud today, but sand as well. There was a bit of an opportunity when the wheel barrow supports snapped from all the weight of the mud. Thankfully God provides and our volunteers are very skilled at fixing things. With the donation from a Belizean resort of a piece of 2”x2” wood and some nuts and bolts from the local hardware store, the precious wheel barrow was back in working order!

The Belizean draftsman stopped by yesterday in order to deliver the blueprints for the future (very near future) building plans. The next step will be presenting the architecture plans along with an application to the Town Board.

As if the day couldn’t get any better, we all witnessed a comet shoot across the sky and land in the Caribbean as we read God’s Word by the sea. Our God is an awesome God!

Lights, Camera, Action

A recent tropical storm near Mexico has caused some illustrious lightning storms to take place nightly over the Caribbean Sea. One of our volunteers was able to capture the glorious sight with his camera.

Under the Sea

Kayaking, Snorkeling, Fishing, Lobster Diving - These are the activities LTA volunteers and a local Belizean partook in Sunday after fellowship.

It was certainly an underwater adventure as everyone took turns casting their rods and diving for lobsters. Surprisingly enough – the Caribbean lobsters do not look like the typical bright red lobsters with claws we are accustomed to in the States. Instead, these Belizean lobsters have razor sharp antennas (word of advice – do not hold lobster by the antenna) and their shells are white and brown. They live in holes/caves at the bottom of the sea. The lobster head can be used for making soups and the tail contains all of the tender meat.

Not only was it an enjoyable time of fellowshipping together, but it was also an informative time learning how to live off the natural resources that the beautiful country of Belize offers. The LTA staff house now has some fresh snapper and lobster tail in the freezer. RSVP and we’ll save you a seat at the dinner table.
