I know we've had a time gap from the last time I blogged. Busy, busy, busy all good things.
I will start where I left off and give a little information for each day. We are living in the mission house in Unitedville, which is very comfortable. Hot and cold running water and flush toilets! And
a full kitchen. It has been a blessing in many ways. Meeting new people and seeing some old friends.
It's nice because we can invite them to come sit on the porch and visit.

I had better start on the day to day of what we have been doing.

Friday - Joe spent all day working on the cabana. I went to Spanish Lookout to get some supplies for the mission house. I spent time visiting with neighbors and getting our sewing supplies in order.
We had dinner at In His Will, mostly a quiet day because everyone was tired out.

Saturday - Market day - I will post pictures at another time. It was rainey but you have to go and shop if you want to eat. I bought every type of fruit I could identify and some I couldn't.It was unbelievable to pay 50 cents for 6 big oranges and a dollar for a fresh pineapple.
Once you get home everything has to be cleaned in bleach water before you cut it to use. I spent the rest of the day working on the sewing supplies and doing some sewing for Faye.
The sewing machine we brought with us was dropped in transit so it has a broken pulley. Now to find the repair person.
Joe was still busy working on the cabana. Pictures to come later.

Sunday - Church in Spanish Lookout - Mennonite church - Pastor Dave Moore.very dynamic speaker
great sermon.  We stayed at the mission house and talked with the neighbors and people passing by. We also spent time scavaging for a pulley that would fit the broken sewing machine. Dinner was at the Hotel SanIgnacio  for  Barbara's birthday dinner. Very quiet restful day. Oh yes, we went to the Cayo Twist.....for those of you who have been there you know that is my favorite place. They specialize in soy icecream........they do not have anything dairy. So I had a double scoop of chocolate chip icecream and left with two quarts.  I do have to share with Joe.

Monday - Joe is working on the cabana.............then the guys went out for ice cream. Does anyone see a trend here??
We found a repair man for the sewing machine. His name is Dietrich he is an older gentleman and he is deaf. He lost his hearing completely about 8 years ago. No self pity, he just thanks God for his health. He speaks perfect but you have to write him notes in order to hold up your end of the conversation. Needless to say it's hard for me to write as fast as I talk so I had to slow down. We will return to pick up the machines at the end of the week.
I taught Mark (Ms Juana's son) how to make cobbler..........so he and his family had mango cobbler for dessert last night.

Today will be my turn.....I have tortilla making lessons this afternoon. I am excited! We've already prepared Belizian chicken and rice and beans for supper tonight. Oh yes...apple pie too.

Mark and Elise (both Ms. Juana's children) have spent a lot of time with us. Helping us prepare for our work in LosTambos. But most of all we are learning about their way of live. They are very happy to share. There are lots of stories to tell at another time.

We are headed out today to spend time with Ms Juana and Mr. Lloyd, today will be all about sightseeing, eating and fellowship.
More about the wedding later.

Hope you all have a blessed day.
