The Missionary Hop!

On Saturday we attended the Seminary Graduation celebration.  Youth from the whole country of Belize gathered in the Belize City chapel to honor the seminary graduates, enjoy lunch, dance, and have fun.  
Hmm... it had been some time since we'd done the Bunny Hop... but it came back pretty fast: hop, hop, hop!

But then, not all missionary work is so glamorous...
As we depart Belize City on the water taxi for church in San Pedro, fishermen in the harbor throw their nets for shrimp.  We're reminded of the Lord seeing "Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him." (Matt. 4:18-20)  We all can follow Him.
Children in this video were asked to tell  the story of Jesus calling his Apostles to be “fishers of men”.

At San Pedro Branch, Morgan and Wyatt Ross contribute in their Sunday School lesson with their friend who is now attending church. Their mother and teacher, Natalie Ross, looks on.

As we have our weekly district meetings, the makeup of the missionaries in attendance changes.  On Wednesday we met with Elders Reyes, Richardson, and Phelps at the service center.  Elder Phelps is from the Cayo District and was on exchanges with Elder Eves.  The other missionaries in our district joined our meeting over Skype from San Pedro and Corozal.
