The
mission property in Politilly has a chapel (left foreground) and a
mission house (background). We had a tent set up for our annual
tent meeting. The mission property has steep hills on three sides. |
 |
Although
the mission house is small, it served as cooking headquarters while
visitors were here for the meeting and building project. |
 |
Iguana
is a delicacy relished by the natives. It is cooked with the
skin on, and has the appearance of a cut up snake. |
|
The
pig was not very cooperative in travelling to a be with another pig. She
made lots of noise before we wrestled her into the truck. |
|
Some pigs
are kept in little pens built over the sea. It makes clean up
easier and keeps the smell down.

The boys
wanted to go fishing and swimming, but Brother Dennis's dory had been
beached for repairs. |
 |
The boat
is launched with some help from friends. |
|
As the
boys waited, Brother Dennis continued to try to get the boat fixed. The
motor and shaft had an alignment problem, so they had to abandon
that boat and find another way to get out on the sea.
The boat that took them wouldn't
start when it was time to return, so they swam and pulled the boat
back to shore as it was getting dark. They say the sharks come
inside the reef when it gets dark, so I imagine they were glad to get
on dry land again.

This
house was built for an old man to live by himself over the sea. The
out house was conveniently close, and was also over the sea. |
| |
Unfortunately,
Hurricane Katrina passed close enough to Roatan to cause some damage. His
house was washed ashore. |
 |
The storm
brought sea water up into people's yards. |
 |
Brother Toni
works on cutting down the termite infested tree right next to the mission
house. |
 |
This tree next
to the chapel blossomed suddenly and drew hundreds of beautiful butterflies. |
