Getting across the border of Belize is quite interesting...more like a pain in the neck really. First you have to have those passports ready and show at the border then go to another building to show them again and all the documentation on our car that allows to take our Church rented car across the border. Once that was done we had to get clearance to take some School Kits to Belize to Elder Tague who wanted to give them out to a needy school. They were to have a signed paper from the government saying so but that didn't happen so the Tax on the items that were to be given away to needy school children was paid by Elder Tague and his counselors.....I mean really. Its to help their country and their kids and it was not to be sold. Get a clue. THEN after that we had to purchase car insurance for our car to be in Belize. Yeah, well they may speak English and have some of the most beautiful places to see but it's a difficult place to drive to.
Once across the border we handed off 500 school kits to Elder Tague and off to our hotel which was absolutely beautiful even if there were mosquitos (which feasted on me).
Next day we took a small plane ride over to the island of San Pedro for one night stay and snorkeling trip. See following pictures and videos.

The following pictures are from our hotel. We took a boat out with another Senior Missionary and family to snorkel. Wish I could take some pictures from there because a huge sea turtle came up from the floor of the ocean and swam right next to me. Startled me. Cool though as I could pet it's shell.
