Cruisin'...

Tourism (Turismo) is Belize's number one industry.

In this case, we often see visitors to our place off of cruise ships.

We just had our first visitors of the year come in on Wednesday, January 2nd. They were, Rev. & Mrs. Crawford Coon, (Jena, LA) & Rev. & Mrs. Jeff Sangl. (Greensburg, IN) The Sangl's had some saints/relatives from their church with them. Bro. & Sis. Tony George and Bro. & Sis. Doug Ellerman. Thank y'all for coming to visit. It was an honor!

A typical day like this would consist of:

One of us going to get people from the port, in Belize City, at around 8am.

Then driving back to the Headquarters church in Guinea Grass. This trip would usually take around 1 & 1/2 hours one way. (It took a little longer this time, because the tires on the van, that was large enough to carry 8 people, were bad. It took around 2 or more hours each way.)

Once they get here, we treat our company like royalty!

L-R Missionary Tim Joiner, Elder Crawford Coon, & Pastor Jeff Sangl in the church. 

Giving the royal tour of the grounds, where they'll see the church, male/female dormitory, pastor's home & office, school, fellowship hall & church kitchen, my apartment, a few other sleeping quarters, and across the street you'll see my brother, Mark's house! A LOT, huh?!!!

After this, we'll take them to Pastor Joiner's home and make a bunch of snacks. It could get you anything from Empanades, (a meat filled, fried corn tortilla, with cabbage on top) to Piña Colada's, or Tacos and a Banana Shake!

Me making Piña Coladas, with Josey wanting one!

Piña (Pineapple) Colada

1/2 Cup Pineapple Squash (or pineapple concentrate)

1/4 Cup Cream of Coconut

Ice 

Blend in as much, or as little ice as you would like. We like ours thick, so we put a lot!
*optional garnishes, I like to make my drinks look cutesy!

strawberry syrup drizzled on inside of cup and on top of drink. pineapple chunks, whipped topping and a cherry.

Finished Piña Colada

Then, if they have time to spare, we'll take them to the Mennonite village of Shipyard to see the ways of their lives.

After all of this, it's back to the port for around a 2 or 3pm take off to the cruise ship.

Have you ever considered cruising? Where? Would you consider coming to Belize and seeing the Work of The Lord?
