July 1 & 2, 2010

Never got around to blogging yesterday, so it's a two day catch-up.

In case you are wondering, it's still hot here in Belize. Although everyone is telling us this heat is unusual. Actually it's been semi-breezy the past two days and the breeze is nice and very welcome! Yesterday morning I went to town with Romalda to get some groceries (that meant going to the market, and three other grocery shops. Dale spent the morning with Albert and working on various things. In the afternoon Dale and I went back to town (we are staying in a village just north of town) and we stopped by to see some old acquaintances. Above is Clara, the lady who runs the copy shop. It was good to see her and her daughter again - renew aquaintances, catch up on life.

As you can see, the water level in Corozal Bay is really high - which might be a result of the storm Alex. We haven't seen water lapping over the sea wall like this before.

Last night, after a bowl of Romalda's delicious Chermole (black soup), we went to San Narciso where Dale attended the Thursday evening men's group and I spent the almost three hours visiting with Elsa P.. Dale enjoyed the time with the men - they were very interested in the book "Disciplines of a Godly Man" which Dale was introducing to them. And I enjoyed my visit with Elsa - she is such an encouragement to me.


This morning we went back to the high school. Elsa I. and I spent the morning getting into her bookkeeping program and starting the process of getting the schools books in order. We got a good start today and will continue working together every day next week. And Dale found out today that we are helping to move the school office into the third (and newest) building at the end of next week.
