Early Sunday morning we headed out to attend church in Corozal (two hours north on the Mexican border) Before we left, we read on the weather app that heavy rain fall was in the forecast. Although we had storm clouds all along the way, we were happy to get only a few drizzles here and there. As we pulled into Corozal, we were taken back at the beautiful view of the gray rain clouds against the coral green Caribbean Sea.
As we drove home from church, we took these pictures with Sister Arteaga and Sister Kendall at the Santa Rita ruins that are located in town on a residential street.
On Monday we had a preparation day treat as we took the Orange Walk Elders Reyes and Barlow to the Altun Ha archeological site. A feeling of reverence encompasses these ancient cities as we imagine the inhabitants here and their way of life.
It's always a pleasure to host guests in our home. Brother Justice from Guatemala was here on an assignment from the church. We enjoyed getting to know him. He and his wife joined our church over 40 years ago in Puerto Rico. This came after searching for Jesus Christ's true church that taught gospel principles that have been restored to the earth.
Yep, even missionary houses have break-downs at times. Here our skilled Belizean plumbers get us going, or at least showering, once again.
The following videos are ones that I showed to friends we visited this week. They both have powerful messages. The first one is about our Savior's love as He wants to forgive.

The Mormon Channel says this about the video: A former addict and repeat convict shares his experiences with the Savior's ability and willingness to forgive him again and again, even when he felt undeserving. The mission of Jesus Christ was to atone of our sins and provide a way to repent and be forgiven.

I snapped and sent this picture of the view out my front door to my sister-in-law, Lynn, after she sent me a video of the snow fall they received in Salt Lake City, Utah on Thursday morning. I told her that yes, it is beautiful here in Belize, but the photo doesn't show the humidity!
It looks like a beautiful and exciting place to be serving!
ReplyDeleteThank you again for posting photos that bring back memories and sharing sweet videos. And yes, we remember the humidity....it was unbelievable, as were the clouds along the coast!
ReplyDeleteWe are busy packing up our condo as we have sold it and close next week. We have found a lot in Tremonton, just north of Brigham City, where we will be building pretty much our condo layout, but adding a garage and a basement....our ward meets in the original Garland Tabernacle, which is so pretty!!! It has been strengthened recently so it will withstand an earthquake, so that is good, since we are in earthquake territory. We will miss our ward in SLC, but are looking forward to cleaner air and being closer to Teton& Yellowstone National Parks!
Carry On!! Love, the Alicos
