Well we made it, flights delayed, cancelled and other stuff. It is strange to explain,the feelings we are experiencing, we miss everyone already not yet in a home sick kinda way, just now that we have landed it all feels a little more definite. So we are more determined than ever to get busy in the ministry.
Our first Sunday meeting was so packed about 2 dozen brothers had to stand in order to accommodate everyone! They said only at the memorial do they see numbers like that. A lot of new ones and visitors, bible studies and need greaters too. We are pumped. since we left our congregation is now sponsoring a Maya Mopan congregation and we have ASL pre group status, which I didn't even know existed. Much more to tell you about regarding this,but there will be time for that.
The good, the bad and the WHAT! There is indeed a frog that lives in our bathroom sink in the overflow. Seriously, been there a while I guess, comes out in the evening on bug duty. Doesn't just come out to the sink, he goes around the bathroom. Cute at first till you picture a frog cleaning himself with your tooth brush! So we keep anything that goes in our mouth in frog proof containment. He is to cute do get rid of, I just hope in a midnite slumber I don't make a miss step and make frog paste, thats a risk he's willing to take though.
Oh yeah I will tell you about the bat! Several young need greaters came over for a visit, very nice. We leave the door wide open as long as we are on the property so you do run some risk of intruders. Well I will tell you the bats in Belize are bigger than in Canada, Much bigger. Not Condor big, grey squirrel big. So there were about 10 people screaming, swinging blankets, pillows and I'm pretty sure I saw a fork. The whole time MacKay was in the midst of the fray, never stopped working on the computer, said "it's only a bat." I will tell you this, that bat has never been so confused, tell your friends mister bad.
Love you all keep up the fight Dana.
