Belize - 2013 - Sewing Class

Wednesday, January 29, 2014


This has been a lot like camping! Some days no electric, some days no water, some days no hot water. Joe is getting used to the element of surprise.! Joe will have some info on the water a little later.

January 26, 2014 - Sunday
Very Pretty morning, no rain!  and we have water!!
Coffee and devotions on porch before church.
Carmen and Faye's church is at a lumber yard until they are able to build. Pastor Dave is a very dynamic person. The sermon was about just not sitting but to get off your "blessed assurance" and
follow Jesus.
After church, lunch with Carmen, Faye, Barb and Troy.
This was also laundry day and the day to work on sewing machines. In His Will donated their
sewing machines to Threads of Hope. We have them all cleaned up and ready to run.
We lost power for about 2 1/2  hours but made a run to Cayo Twist!!! YUMMY! Love their soy
ice cream.

Foggy cool morning.
Left for Los Tambos at 7:45.
Assembly at LosTambos school, all those kids are growing SO fast.
Ms Lily introduced the new manager of the Cayo area district. Ms Doret.
Very nice lady, she also seems to have a special place in her heart for
Los Tambos. She was very gracious and thanked FCPC for all the help
they have been over the years.
Visited Selena, talked to a few people we will have classes there on Tuesday, next week.
Back to Unitedville at for class at 1:00. Didn't have very many today but the word didn't get out but we did have a lot of fun.
Joe is working on the work tables.

Beautiful cool morning.
This was suppose to be all day in Unitedville but went to help out some people who had some problems. As always, when you get into Los Tambos it is never a short visit.
We planned to stop for breakfast on the way back but that never happened.
Stopped to get a few things at the Farmer's trading center and met a man from the Bio Sphere farm. His name is Stephen and this will be a story to tell when we get back. A interestingly strange fellow.
Invited him to the school.........we'll see if he comes.
Class again at 1:00, this time we had 7 ladies. Great group, lots of fun. LOTS of babies!

January 29, 2014 - Wednesday
A little rain this morning and now the sun is out. I won't say how nice because I understand most all of you are having very cold weather.
We are having the last class for the ladies of Unitedville. They have all learned to embroider and bead, some of them have done very well. They are a great group and have been a blessing to share their time with me.
Today at 3:00 we are leaving for Orange Walk to spend the night with Ms Tomasita's family, mom and siblings. In the morning they will take us on to Chetamul and across the border. We will be shopping for Thread's of Hope. Looking to purchase fabric, zippers and threads. Paying $1.50yd for fabric, .35 for a zipper and .50 for a spool of thread. We are returning tomorrow and will have our first class in LosTambos on Friday. 

I apologize again for the "book" format but it is hard to get to the computer then there is the power and internet issue.
