... banana, mango, and dragonfruit. The sun finally graced us with its presence today, while we were on a perfect snorkel / scuba trip. Turtles, stingrays, schools of hundreds of fish, nurse sharks, etc. Rode bikes back into town today to get some groceries and have dinner. We may not get back on the internet as it's kind of a pain! Much love to all!

... The discussion then turned to how important it is to not use your cellphone during meetings. (note: during this discussion, most members were ON their cellphones). Today's meeting started about 25 minutes late in an AIRCONDITIONED!!!! room at the station. Ryan had designed a logo for CERT and that was the main focus for tonight's agenda. We talked about the logo for over an hour. Mostly to say how great it was. Then me, Laurel and Ryan were ...

... refreshing, at the end we had two gorgeous waterfalls and swimming holes to choose from. The rest of the day we spent travelign through gorgeous belize and making our way to San Ignacio, which is making a wonderful first impression.. its a beautiful little town set in the jungle with friendly people and amazing food. tomorrow we are going to the ruins in Tikal, Guatemala and the next day we are going cave tubing, yippee! the good times keep on coming :)

... all the birds and jungle animals in the area. This is the first time we Could properly see the place which was located right on the river! We spent the entire day tubing down the river. There were a few good sets of rapids, alot of just floating, and these weird little fish that bite at your dead skin. That felt bloody weird.

... me to San Ignacio. What an adventure! William is from Holland but has lived in Belize for 11 years. He showed me all the sights along the way and gave me great insight into the people and culture. We stopped in Belize City for lunch at a small street side patio. I had rice and beans and watermelon juice. It could have just been the 34 degree weather, but that was the best juice I have ever had. Yum, must go back there! The roads ...

... from the start as we would need to hike for an hour before entering the caves with 3-4 rivers to wade through. On arrival at the cave we needed to swim into the entrance and the majority of the first part we were in an out of water at various depths. The inside was incredible with all the minerals which had been accumulating over 1,000 of years there were amazing rock formations and certain ...

... this part that the branches we hoped would support us began to push us out of the canoe and tip it over. Alex jumped out and I had to too so the canoe wouldnt capsize, but once I was in the water I all of a sudden realised what a dangerous situation this had become, the current was so strong I could barely hold on to the branches above me without being dragged away by the force of it. For five frightening minutes or so we struggled to keep ourselves afloat and simultanously to hold onto ...

... have been called by our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Throw off the things of this world that satan uses to separate us from God. We who follow the truth of The One true God the father of Jesus Christ are soldiers all fighting our own battles against the dark forces. Keep your eyes and hearts on things above. Seek the truth don't be deceived by those who preach change , peace and the right to murder. Smooth words with evil agendas. We must take a stand for the ...

... enough in theory yet the implementation is where reality begins to set it and often as I have seen in my own life discouragement and despair float to the surface and before long im surrounded in it and the more and more I over analyze the water, my buoyancy begins to lessen.
