Well the last post that was made was about 4 months ago, and a lot has been happening since then. Unfortunately I am awful at keeping the blog updated with information so I apologize for that, this will be another last post for at least another 3 months as I have once again returned to the states for a visit.


Some exciting news that happened was some seriously unassigned territory was done in May/June which I had the great privilege of participating in. It was preaching work to all the Cayes on the coast of Belize, and just off the coast of Placencia is where the majority of these Cayes were. Many of the Cayes have only a few people on them, for example somebody may own their own island whether a local or a foreigner and they usually have somebody living on it to watch over the caye. Our experiences were plenty, almost everybody we talked to we had a Bible Study with and encouraged them to continue to study their Bible Teach book after we would leave since we would not be able to regularly call on them, we also encouraged them to find us whenever they are on the mainland to receive more encouragement and literature, many we talked to of course offered hospitality which included places to stay (that way we didnt have to sleep on the boat), food, drinks, and even lobster! Of course not only were we fishing for men but also for dinner as well!




At the Sunday meetings we have still been getting around the 50-55 range which is great considering that this is the slow season. There is about 20-25 publishers in the group now so that taken into consideration about half of the ones at meetings are not baptized yet. One of the studies just became an unbaptized publisher and joined the school, his name is Gabriel and has been doing great! This last weekend we had our district convention where we had 3 from our group baptized, Rodger Arden, Siripohn Arden, and Stephanie Ojeda, this made the district convention that much more enjoyable.
I hope you enjoyed the update and a couple of experiences from this Blog, continue with the preaching work without let up - Matt 24:14.



The 1st picture is what a caye might look like, it could be very small with just one person living on it.

The 2nd picture is a brother catching his dinner while traveling from one Caye to the next.

The 3rd picture is Gabriel with his wife Stephanie who was just baptized.

The 4th Picture is of Rodger and Siripohn Ardne who were baptized at this last weeks district convention

This is the boat called "The Witness" we used this as our main boat which is owned by a brother, Gino Leslie, if we did not have hospitality by one of the persons on the Cayes then we would stay the night on "The Witness"

This was a smaller dingy which we used to get us on to the Cayes.
