Enjoying a cup of coffee on our balcony on a day at sea. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony at night with the stars above and nothing but the sound of waves below - talk about serenity.
Yum, yum... we did NOT go hungry on this cruise. There was food everywhere, all the time...
Our first stop was in the Cayman Islands. We were very surprised to see this banner flying high above us as we walked down one of the streets there. Kurt was impressed :)
It was amazing how clear and blue the water was. I was taking pictures of water the entire time. Here, you can see the stingrays that we got to swim with. We took our underwater camera and have some better shots with us holding the stingrays but these will have to do until the others are scanned. :)
The water was so BLUE! It was beautiful!
Kurt and I at dinner. We were seated with a couple that was on their honeymoon and the four of us had a blast together! 
Our next stop was in Cozumel, Mexico. 
We went to a private beach and had access to their kayaks, wall climbing/inflatable water slides, hammocks, volleyball, etc. It was great!
Captain's Night: 
Isla Roatan, Honduras:
I loved how BLUE the water was - have I mentioned that yet?
They had professional portraits on the ship so we went ahead and had a couple photos taken one night.
Enjoying an evening on the deck, and ready for some amazing food :) 
Here we are in Belize, where we visited the Mayan Ruins. We climbed to the top and could see Guatemala, which was just about a mile away.

Here is America, people might roll their eyes at this because they had heard it a million times before... there, they were captivated. They heard this news as God had intended.. it was GREAT NEWS! When asked who wanted to accept Christ as 
Here we are at the river, baptizing new believers in Christ. This was awesome in itself because we had not intended to plant a church there, but so many people from neighboring villages stood and watched and when one of the guys explained to them what was taking place, they decided they wanted to know this "Jesus" too... and so right then, they chose a leader and a place to build 
We also held Vacation Bible School. We were told to expect 300-500 children that were going to be bused in from surrounding villages. We came prepared with games, crafts, puppets, snacks... or so we thought. Guess how many children showed up? 1000-1500!!!! Yet another "God Thing". We didn't plan on that, but He did.
It was absolutely amazing what happened there. At first, I wondered if the people really understood what they were committing to. I wondered if they just raised their hands because everyone else was... but then when you see them deciding where they want their church and who will lead them and that leader will have to bike many, many miles to be have discipleship training... you can see that the Holy Spirit was absolutely present in their hearts. 
I can't believe they were able to plan all this and for me not to have any idea! There were so many people involved and no one spilled the beans!
Did I mention how AMAZING our friends are here?! They really did make my birthday a special one. The view from John and Emily's.
Thank you Kurt, John, Emily and everyone who came to celebrate! You guys are such a blessing. Thank you for making my day such a special one!!!
