Belize Weekend of November 14th through the 17th

We flew to Belize this past Friday to train Public Affairs persons to help them better understand their calling.  The City of Belize is beautiful and the traffic is somewhat light but the sturcture of driving is challenging.

The people speak English and Spanish and a creaol which is a mix of Spanish and English.  Some words you can pick up some not.

Those Priesthood leaders that attended were more in tune with their calling after we had the training meeting.

On Saturday we took a boat trip which was very well done.  About 25 miles up a river which goes through all of Belize.We saw Alligators, birds, Iguanas, monkeys and a trail of a Manatee in the water.

Also we saw some ruins, four temples to be exact.  The place where it occupied was about 2 1/2 miles square. About 4 temples were unearthed but a lot of ruins are yet to be unearthed as of yesterday.
On this branch is a cactus plant but it looks like a snake.
 Our host Colin.  He was our guide and fed us lunch.  It was great.

    1. Mike and Teri, the ruins are of unique interest to us as it is part of the Book of Mormon History. But ya gotta be there to experience it. Amazing river with amazing wildlife. I wanted to stay in the boat when I saw an alligator.
