ROAD TRIP!!!!












This is some scenery from Playa del Carmen, Mexico and my trip to Belize City on the bus.
The "NO SMOKING" sign was on a bus in Mexico.
I thought it was funny.
Sorry about the lack of blogs the last few days, something was wrong with
the blog page.
Love ya'all, Josh

The Island...












Here's some beautiful scenery
of the island... Caye Caulker.
More pics are coming... I can only download 5 at a time.

The "Tree House"
















I know u all have been waiting for these pics.





So here they are...
The black tubing on top of that building is interesting.
The building is my bathroom (toilet and shower). The black tubing is my hot water heater.
It works great. During the day you have to run cold water at the same time or it's too hot!!
The inside is pretty self-explanatory.
Simple, small, but very adequate.
Thanks for keeping in touch.
Love ya'all.

All Day Friday Working on the Kingdom Hall








We re-upholstered all 45 chairs and sanded and painted the frames, painted the inside walls, and removed the base boards.
On Monday we are putting down new tile.
I will be posting pics of my "treehouse" soon.
Love ya'all.

I'm finally here!

Hey Everyone,

After one 36 hour day of traveling, which included 5 hour drive to atlanta, 2 1/2 flight to cancun, then 1 hour bus ride to playa del carmen, mexico. I stayed with one of the most loving, hospitable couples I've ever met (ernesto and guilanna). They took such good care of me. That was Tuesday.

Today, Wednesday, I left playa del carmen at 7:30 am on a bus to chetumal, mexico. From chetumal, I took another 4 hour bus ride across the belize border, thru immigration, and into belize city, belize. I made it just in time to get on the last water taxi to caye caulker.

I arrived to my new home for the next 3 months at about 6:30 pm, then went to the meeting. Small cong., but the friends are great. Singing was very impressive! After that, I ate somedinner and then played sequence w/ dan and dolly houghton,, barry and danielle vista (a couple from san pedro, belize, and danielle's mother, beth.

My humble abode is basically a glorified tree house about 150 yards from the beach, and I absolutely love it!
Pictures coming soon!

**** the buses were like greyhounds, not "chicken buses".

So far this has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
Please keep in touch. Thank u all for your support.
