Well, we have some bad news and some good news. Bad news is we have to leave Caye Caulker, the good news is we are returning to our old congregation, Powell River South, in Canada. We really can't stay here with no permanent elders, so we've done all we can here for now. Things will continue in the congregation, the brothers from San Pedro come on Saturday night to take the congregation bible study, ministry school, and service meeting, and then they stay until Sunday for the talk and watchtower study. They will continue to do this until a permanent elder comes. It is a big sacrifice on their part and they are greatly appreciated. We'd like to come back, at least for a few weeks at a time, to help out those who are here. It has been a challenging assignment, but we've had a lot of joy with the hardships, and we have no regrets coming here. We've learned a lot, and hopefully we'll be able to use it pioneering in Canada. We are excited to see everyone again (its been two years).
We've been wrapping up some things before we leave. We decided to get some dental work done, because at $30 US per filling its a pretty good deal. Professional offices too. Also we took William and Brendon to the zoo, so I've passed on some pictures. We all had a great time, its a small zoo, but very beautiful, and arranged so you can get really close to the animals. The animals they have are all found in Belize. Brendon and William had never gone to the zoo before. They were supposed to go with their school trip, but it didn't work out. Great time (even if the tapir peed on Jeremy).
Please everyone keep in touch. Our regular email is karenscriver@hotmail.com or scriverkarenandjeremy@gmail.com We look forward to hearing from you.
Our hearts are with you. I know you will be better pioneers in Canada. The experiences you had change a person. I had to go back for 3 months and I thought the territory was great in Canada. I realized it hadn't changed much, I had. I'm sure you'll experience something similar too. Warmest love, Troy & Rachel
