🍍Campbell Connection July Photo Journal

It's a bit of a warm one this afternoon, so we are not out and about. Instead, one of us is vegging on the couch and one of us is at a table with this computer and a little desk fan providing a bit of artificial breeze. Not too bad really. And this makes the perfect opportunity to share a collection of photos showing a bit of what we've been doing.

We are at the halfway point in our time here. So far we have been able to settle into our new home-away-from-home, develop and re-establish some routines, and catch up with lots of people.

We are staying in a new apartment building only a few steps down from where we started out in our first years. Much has changed on this little street and the changes are good. In this location we are able to walk to see many of the people we haven't seen for several months. We have a nearby grocery store, vegetable stand, and when we need to go further the buses are nearby.

🫶🏼 Our (Almost) Half-time Show 👀

As there is much to-do about halftime shows this weekend, we are sending you one that is family-friendly and will give you all sorts of warm fuzzies as we share in pictures what we have been doing during the first weeks of our time back in Roatan. These first weeks have been a time of preparations for back to school - registrations, shopping, and problem-solving. Larry has had some time for exploring the local hardware and lumber yards. Although the weather has not motivated beach time (Mr. Sun seems to have gone on vacation - "maybe next week" everyone says - again) there have been opportunities to return to a few local restaurants, and also share in family celebrations. Best of all, it has been a time to reconnect with friends and share our stories. There have been lots of smiles and hugs, and lots of walking as we get out and about. It's why we're here, and what we enjoy. So Good to See You! Sometimes it's a quick on-the-street hello, sometimes ...

🌴Summer on the Island 🐠

Hello! Hello! Greetings from the hot Tropics to the hot everywhere else. When we made plans to come to Roatan this summer, we had a few goals as well as leaving freedom to have our plans change. We are satisfied that we have been able to accomplish lots in the past month while at the same time we are learning to find pleasure in the daily routines of life here also. We aren’t exactly in the “don’t worry, be happy” state of mind, but there has been a lot less go-go-go. I expect in a month that will all change with fall harvest, but this has been quite pleasant. Anyone else know what I mean? One of our goals with this trip was to get the roof on Chris and Laura’s house replaced. Laura mentioned back in March that she had to cover her furniture with plastic and put out buckets whenever it rained, because the old tin roof was thin and leaking. This was accomplished early in our stay. A connection was made with a roofer. He and Larry travelled to the hardware store in town, purchase...

🌞 Let It Shine - April Update 🌞

Le t your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:16 Yes. Let it shine! It’s spring and we are anticipating sun – and showers. Whether the skies are blue or gray - we can shine. And shine is what we hope we have been doing with our time in Roatan. While we are not involved with teaching in the church, we hope those who we meet – old friends or new – know that what we do is because of Jesus and what He has done for us. We are home back in our snug house where Larry will wait for spring and then start spring planting. We have had our first birthday celebration with family, and this weekend we will attend our nephew’s wedding. We do wish our brains would arrive on the same plane as our bodies, but it could be they are lost in transit permanently. ...
