Well.. sorry jacob has been taking over the blog for the last like 8 posts. I decided i should write a blog and get everyone caught up on my doings in Belize. I have been heading up a project in which we are painting the physical therapy room at a old folks home in San Ignacio called Octavia Waight. I will be putting up pictures shortly and it is looking so good. We are having tons of fun and i can't wait to move in all the equipment and see it all finished. I am also starting a project called the rural health campaign, its a project where we go around in rural villages and take peoples blood pressure and check their glucose levels to see if there is any hypertension and also diabetes. After testing the people we will be giving information on how to control and improve the health of those who are being affected by these problems. I am having a meeting tomorrow and am excited to get it started.

I don't know how much Jacob has told you but today we helped with Adobe Stoves, it was tons of fun and we got the foundation and some of the bricks laid. There was a little girl named Amy who just stole my heart, she is so cute and we played with her stuffed animals and climbed in trees most of the time i was there. She took lots of pictures on my camera and is becoming quite the little photographer. I love helping the people of Belize and am always humbled by where they are living and the conditions that they are living in, also that they are so willing to receive help and to put their own hard work into improving their life.
Today we went to Spanish Lookout, it is a mennonite community and they have the most amazing ice cream there. While we were there we met a very big but nice bull and took lots of pictures of beautiful landscape. Later, we went to a concert of some of the children who have been taking music lessons and it was so fun to watch them play the flute, piano, guitar and sing. There is so much talent here and i am glad that people of the community are helping to keep kids out of trouble and develop their talents. Well its off to bed for me, i promise to write more often! Thanks of everyone's help and prayers.
