Hot Weather

Whew!

The last couple days have been hot, sunny days again.

A cool midday reprieve in the shower is definitely needed. The funny thing is that even the locals say "its hot!"

Brother Ken is back in the hospital with a broken femur. Poor man.

We are making slow progress with the settling in bit.....seems like there are many other things and activities keeping us busy. Well, as Dennis says "everything takes longer in Belize." So maybe we'll be unpacked and settled by November??

Meanwhiled we are shimmying around boxes and stepping over things. I almost have washer use, hopefully by tomorrow. I am able to use our toilet in our bathroom but nothing else yet. We have 2 windows with curtains so far.....so we have to be careful because the neighbors house looks right into our main living space.

Wendy came out to see us (hooray) and we were so happy to see her and Aden. Her friend Ross was down from the states and brought her by. Aden is growing so much and he always loves to see the kids. Now that we are well again we will be seeing a lot more of them.

We heard from Rich and Kris Friday evening....they were going to come out Sabbath, but ended up not coming. Kris just got back from her trip to the states. So hopefully, we will see more of them too?

Lots to do with the mission group here.....Grandma is cooking and I'm baking bread or buns and making dessert for everyday. Addy has asked me to bake lots of banana cake tomorrow because she is inviting her sisters over because of the holiday. They will eat lunch with us and play volley ball or soccer. 

I will also be working on Hannah's birthday cake tomorrow and prepping for her birthday dinner on Tuesday. She will be an official teenager and she is really glad to be turning 13.

We had Sabbath school under the trees in front of the church. We had 13 kids there and it was nice, they don't like to speak out but I think with time they will get more involved. Rain came pouring down so thankfully we had put up a little 10X10 shelter. Try to fit 3 church pews and a couple camp chairs under that! The rain was coming in so we had to keep cramming together in the center. We managed to stay dry so I think we will put up the shelter every Sabbath.

Chris will most likely be going in for another 24 hour shift with the ambulance tomorrow evening. He has been promised lots of action since it is a Holiday and Tuesday being the day after they will stay busy.

Dennis took the mission group to Cayo Twist (non-dairy ice cream) and he took my kids too. They have been helping set up tables and chairs and clean up the kitchen before the group arrived so I guess he wanted to treat them too.

This week we will have to go and renew our visas in order to stay in the country. I guess its not much they mainly just want the money part.
