Elsa brought Kristine (and Strawberry Shortcake) to work with her today. Kristine will be 3 in November, and she is as cute as a bug in a rug.

Speaking of bugs in a rug. Her daddy, Tito, found this scorpion out in the futbol field when he was chopping (mowing). Kristine had no fear.

Dale's workshop on Worldview began yesterday. At first it looked like only one teacher would be there, but eventually 3 showed up. The teachers that were there are attentive and excited about thinking Chrisianly and there was a lot of good interaction and discussion. One teacher in particular, a man new to teaching, is particularly excited about what he is learning. Wilbert has worked for the government in Belmopan for several years and is making a change in his career.

To end our day, we took Elsa and Alvaro out for dinner. They are always a joy and an encouragement to be around. Please pray for them as they serve the church in Belize. They always seem to be burning the candle at both ends because they never let an opportunity pass to do what they feel called to be doing. Also remember them as they travel to St. Louis on Sunday and spend the week taking a course at Covenant Seminary. We will be taking them to the airport on Sunday morning.
