Harvey and Mission Update

As you recall from our post last Monday,  tropical storm Harvey was predicted to pass through Belize on Tuesday evening with winds up to 60 mph.  We were relieved that the prediction didn't come to pass.  I was happy to take this picture of the sunset from our home Tuesday evening.  As you can see, Tuesday was peaceful in Belize City.

A couple of days later we were all alarmed to hear of predicted devastation in Texas from tropical storm Harvey.

I am grateful for our church's response to this crisis.   I got this information off of our Church's Newsroom webpage.  

  

“...We received a call from our headquarters, and they have asked us if we would put together some loads to go down and actually pre-position some of these supplies in that area,” said John Hopkins, manager of the Bishops’ Central Storehouse.  "These relief efforts are intended to help any who may need it, not just members of the LDS faith..."

We are praying for all those affected by this catastrophe.

At the Belize City District Conference this weekend, the choir's singing was inspiring and powerful.

We got together Sunday in our apartment for lunch with mission President and Sister Adams, Elder and Sister Flake, and Elder and Sister Adams.

Scott and Elder Flake are counselors to President Adams.

Paul Woods, here with his lovely family at church, works closely with Scott.  President and Sister Adams are on the right.

We continue to enjoy working with the missionaries, members, and our neighbors here in Belize.  We are blessed with health, strength, and safety as we work with and visit our brothers and sisters in Belize.
