Hosanna House--Belize

Today was a lazy relaxing day. We started the day by going to a local church. After church, we went out to eat at the Chinese restaurant in Belmopan. Afterward, we visited a Mayan woman who has become known as the Basket Lady. Not that she is nuts or anything. She just makes and sells a lot of baskets along with jewelry, purses and other various souvenirs. After returning to Hosanna House, we hung out with the children, which included playing volley ball on the new court (thanks previous crew!) and watched a movie.





Jerika found her treasure!!!!






In the evening we celebrated Derlene's birthday with games and cake that Darlene Eberly made. We all had a great time!






Margaret could not smile with a mouth full of cake!

This is Betty:
We enjoyed going to church with the Mennonites this morning. The singing was beautiful -- no piano. We had a van full of kids that went with us.
In the evening we had lots of fun at Darlene's birthday party. She was 8 years old. It was her first time she was away from her mother for her birthday. Miss Darlene gave her a pretty dress and necklace which she wore to the party. We came back to the workers house and Tony decided to do a load of wash and promptly flooded the mens room - even after Darlene warned him. This time it was the mens turn to clean it up!! I'll bet tomorrow the washing machine will get fixed!!
