The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. Psalm 28:7

Church Work Bee

We held a church work bee yesterday to get some much needed DEEP cleaning accomplished!
 
All the benches came out and were totally cleaned top and underside, all the fans & lights were relieved of lots of dust and cobwebs, and the pulpit received a generous scrubbing and polishing. We worked hard 4 hours but it felt like 8.
 
Kent mowed the lawn
 
The hymnals were wiped down

Horsing Around

My girls are horse nuts!!
 
Anytime they can get on Ranger they are happy.
 




Farm Fresh

We have such a great time out at the farm.
We got to enjoy sour oranges, avocados, lemons, sugar cane, and coconuts!
 







Sorrel

I bought Sorrel fruits and made juice. I love it but the kids aren't too sure!
 
It goes great in smoothies.

YIPPEE!!

RESIDENCY GRANTED!!

We are now official residents of Belize!

No more monthly visa extensions and going to the grumpy immigration officers!

We have been so excited that I forgot to post about it but it became final on November 6.

Chris says we need to post a picture of us holding our passports open to the residency stamp?

We may just do that after he gets back from work.

Praise the Lord for His hand is in everything and He worked this out for us in such a miraculous and fast manner. Only 2 1/2 months from start to finish!

A Glimpse of Fall

A BIG thank you to my dad who sent me these gorgeous pictures of fall colors!
 
I do miss the fall change as that was a favorite time of year for me.
 





A Little Neglectful!

I am unintentionally neglecting this blog!!
 
I have been doing a new job which involves lots of new learning for me and it gives me nice hours for work.
 
So I will have to get more creative with keeping this blog up to date and interesting.
 
Yes, here in Belize it is necessary to work being that we are not sponsored to be here. So I do praise God for the job!
 
Please pray for me that I will continue to learn fast and do a good job!
