As you can see, there was a full moon over the Corozal Bay last night. For some reason the moon always looks most spectacular here in Belize. Really amazing when we think our friends and family are seeing the same moon from a different vantage point.
Carla has befriended several mothers and their small children who live in a very poor part of Corozal. These mothers know that they can come to Carla if they or their children are hungry or sick. One such mother, named Sandra, lives in this small shack with her two daughters and husband. Carla had to take the husband to the hospital on Sunday morning because of a sore on his leg that was not healing. The doctor lanced it and the sore was full of worms of some sort, so the man has been in the hospital now for three days. His wife has to bring him water and food, and even toilet tissue, which Carla is happy to supply. Sandra travels on a bike with her two children in tow on the handle bars. Another reminder of how we have so much to be grateful for.
Today we spent time going over the outline for the modules we are preparing for the teacher training. There is so much work (typing & editing& making CD's) to do - I told Carla I can't stay for three months! She laughed and said it better not take that long!
In a short while we will make the 10 mile trip into Patchakan to attend the wake for Romalda's sister. Continue to pray for God's comfort for that family.
