The first week of workshops ended yesterday. The teachers that attended were somewhat overwhelmed by all of the material that was given to them but they were excited about applying the principles and trying many of the new ideas in their classrooms this fall. One teacher said that when they usually have workshops they just watch things but never talk about them. Having discussions and interaction was something new to him and he felt it was a great benefit and was thankful. 
Last night we tried out the new restaurant in town, R D's. It was really a nice atmosphere and very tasty food.
Here are a couple pictures to share - one is Yadira and her daugher Kayly (10 months)stopped by the school office to visit. In the picture, Elsa, Carla, Yadira's little sister, Kayly, and Yadi's. Belizean children are so beautiful! The second picture is of the house we are staying in. Right across the street from Carla. Could use a little paint!
Whoops, since I started writing it has started to cloud up - maybe it will rain again, who knows?!
Dale just went out and took this picture so it is very fresh!
Today Dale will do some lesson planning and sermon preparation and I am going with Jean Giles (a missionary) and a couple Belizean ladies to Orange Walk to do a little shopping.
We are enjoying our time here - sometimes it seems like we have never left.
