Hosanna House--Belize

The Ladies had to clean out the men’s room after Betty (in the back ground)flooded the men’s room with the washer.

We knew we could get them to clean our area one way or the other! Betty showed Jerika and Nikki how to use a mop properly. Betty sure does look for alot of excuses to come over to the mens room. : )
Here's Betty:
Almost a week -- today the guys were working at various jobs -- Royce has been doing a lot of carpentry work in Hosanna House. Today he made a gate to keep the littlest child (1 1/2 years old) in one room.
Tonight is family night so Jerika and Nikki were put in charge of making Pizza with some of the older girls. Joyce and the younger girls popped a garbage bag full of popcorn -- yes, in a pan on top of the stove. After eating pizza we watched the DVD Aquamarine and ate popcorn. Then back to the house for coffee and visiting. During the night it poured down rain several times which some of us heard and some slept right through!!



It was very hot and humid today. Our team spent time building metal cages for the forms at the bus stop shelter. We also moved dirt to grow grass around the volleyball court and set forms for a small walkway coming from the guest apartments. Royce spent time working on some shelves up at the house.

Everyone in our group agrees that we will have to diet once returning to the states. Darlene has been doing a lot of the cooking with the other ladies help. We are well fed!!!

Tonight was Family Night so our girls (Nikki and Jerika) and a couple of the Hosanna House girls made pizza. Later in the evening, Doug led devotions and then we watched a movie with the children. One thing I notice is that these children are no different than our kids in the States who are dealing with rejection, abuse, loneliness and other issues. They all just want attention and a pat on the back from time to time. They are starved for unconditional acceptance.
