It's Friday morning - another warm one in Belize.

They say the power is going to be turned off for the day So
I'm hoping I can get this posted before it goes away. Dale is on his way to the school where he will be helping with interview for new teachers. I think they have six interview scheduled for today.

Dale has been keeping busy with all sorts of things, editing Bible curriculum for the teaching modules, meeting with Isael Vallejos, counseling several men for different reasons, and preparing for a short sermon the last Sunday we are here.

Our schedule has been so different from years past, but, I have to say, it is not so exhausting.

The first picture is of Carla and Dale coming back from dropping Jean's car off at a man's house who is going to clean it up and try to help her sell it.
The next picture is me on the back steps of our "casa". I had never even wandered back there. We have a nice large back yard. Wish I had a BBQ.

Wednesday evening Alvaro and Elsa and their family came over so that Alvaro could finalize the order of his project and get it ready for binding. The boys watched a movie and enjoyed popcorn while Dale, Alvaro, Elsa and I spent about 3 hours just talking. We so much love spending time with them!

Yesterday morning was Library Day and we spent the morning at the school. It was a busy library day, and we had the extra joy of seeing two students who we taught when we lived here four years ago. It is so fun to see how mature they have become. One girl actually is being interviewed today to be a teacher at Cornerstone!

Last night we took Elsa and Tito and Kristine out to Cactus Plaza. Our first panuchos, salbutes, and tortas of this trip! Of course we enjoyed every bite, but more so, we enjoyed spending an evening with this delightful couple and their daughter. Elsa is pregnant with her second - due in November - another girl!

Well, I need to post before power is gone..... that will again change my plans for the day. I had a full day of scanning and editing for Carla.
