Feb 20,2009 Friday
It is Friday and yesterday we went to the house in progress and installed the windows while Tony (the local builder) put the doors and steps in. If anyone has not been here to build something they would find it an experience. This is my first time at building in Belize and things that you take for granted like sawhorses or a flat surface to cut on are not available. I have found the two best things you must have have for building here are patience and a sledgehammer. Patience for the beginning of the project and the sledgehammer to finish when you patience runs out. All in all the project house turned out pretty well by local standards although Ken told the local builder to not mention his name if anybody asked who built it.
Bob got the air conditioner fixed in the van yesterday and it is truly appreciated. Without a/c , riding in the van during mid afternoon is like being in the “hotbox” in the movie Cool Hand Luke, it is like an oven but on the bright side you can lose a good 7-8 pounds without any workout.
As usual , the other night we were sitting around eating junk food and after we all got full of chips and candy we all started talking about being on different diets. Or we could just not turn the a/c on and let the pounds drop off.
I just learned this morning that the mean rooster just got sentenced for the dinnerplate soon because of his disposition…….. it just doesn’t pay to be mean to others.
We did devotions last night with the kids and the really love to sing and quote scripture. They sing almost anytime during the day and are really a good group. Of course, just like any group there are going to be squabbles and little things pop up between them.
Today I plan to go cave tubing and maybe zipline so if this is my last blog I would appreciate a surchparty ………….REALLY. I mean it. Its time for breakfast so I’ll log off and start another adventure.

P.S. Bob just informed me that a little 4 year old girl was ran over and killed by a bus yesterday not far from here . Please pray for the family.
God Bless
