Calm before the storm...

The humidity has led to quite a site this mornin. At our motel, in one of the ground floor rooms where we have met for devotions...after 20 years of behaving themselves...some of the tiles have now popped!

Preschool before school...The team was ready to leave early this morning for a visit of another christian school.

The van, that is rented for us, has been used for many years, and we always cheer, when it grumbling comes to life.
We arrive half an hour later at the preschool, where a cheerful teacher greets us.
The small children, shy and still curious, are playing with their toys.
They look at Dave with astonishment, they must have never seen such a tall man, so he kneels down and soon they happily interact with him.
Then the teacher, urges them to clean up..."clean up, clean up everybody do their share"
Chairs are now taken out and placed for the little ones and we enjoy their singing, their enthusiasm and the way this teacher is stimulating her students.
After a while they are sent outside to play on the swings and the slide that are set up for them.
How precious they are. May God bless you all!!

We leave the school and drive to our "own" school, where it is strangely quiet.The older grades are on their way to Belize city, where one of them, will compete in a spelling bee. The older grades all get to come along to cheer her on, 60 students, 4 teachers and 2 parent chaperones...all on 1 bus provided by the credit union who is the sponsor of the spelling bee head for 2 hours to Belize City. And now the primary grades are leaving too as Friday's are only half days!
The male team continues with their work.
The decision to tile the additional classroom requires the grade to be set and sand to be carried and placed on the floor.
It is so hot today, not much energy is left after three days of hard work. After lunch we leave, and some of us need to take a nap.

We board our bus, for now we are going to explore Corozal, the place where our "home"is located.
The townhall with a beautiful mural, that informs us of the history of Belize and after that, we visit a cultural centre where we get more information about this proud and beautiful country!
We walk to the pier, where passengers are waiting for the ferry, and enjoy the cool breeze.
Mark drives us to the local church where we visit with the minister.

Time to go home now, where we enjoy the supper meal that is set out for us!
After devotions, a thankful and tired team decides to retire early!

Let everything that lives, praise the Lord!!
