Un dia lluvioso en Belice! (But we see that it was as well in Pittsburgh today.)
We have had a full day of ministry! This morning we went to the school where Dale met a friend and they headed back to Corozal to counsel another friend. I stayed at the school with the office ladies - and had a chance to go over and see the library. I have not had to work in there this year because I'm out of a job doing that - Romalda volunteers two days a week in the library and has kept it all clean and organized this past year! I was so happy to see how neat and tidy it looked. The library is in need of some new books because so many are worn out and falling apart not to mention the ones that have been checked out and never returned.
Dale came back to the school to pick me up around noon, and we headed back into Corozal with Elsa and Karon so they could pay the income and SS taxes and we could meet Albert, Romalda and Brittany for lunch. For our noon meal we tried out a new restaurant - Corozo Blues. The food was good, however a little pricey. It is a new restaurant with very nice ambiance. I had a "picante chicken burger" (a burger topped with carmelized onions and jalepeno peppers). I most certainly was picante!
After lunch Dale and I headed back down the Northern Highway to San Narciso and spent a couple hours with a friend who wanted our encouragement and counsel.
Before we left San Narciso to go back to town, a young man (we just met this week) named Joel was in the church kitchen cutting up some very sweet smelling oranges for the team's supper. I asked him where he found the nice oranges, because Romalda has been looking for some (right now good oranges are not available at the market). He said his Tia (aunt) had a tree and she would be happy to give me some. So Elsa and I got in the car and followed him about a mile to the back of the village to his Tia's house - only to discover it was the home of the ruling elder from the church. Joel very kindly went in their back yard - in the mud - and picked me two large bags of Washington oranges.
We got back to the Zantingh's in time for supper. Romalda was thrilled with the oranges!
