This is a surprise that I found at PEACE Camp. I love those kids so much! I spent 2 weeks traveling to Belmopan every day to teach kids ages 9 to 14 conflict resolution, emotional management, and problem solving. It was super fun, and I had a great time getting to know the kids.
I have become best friends with a couple of teens here in our neighborhood. We hang out at least a couple of times a week. They are hilarious. Abi and Richie (in photo) came to church on Sunday to hear my talk. They are awesome.
There was a fire just a couple of blocks from our house. It was a jewelry store. Crazy!
There is a lot of cool fruits here in Belize, like dragonfruit, starfruit, Waya, and a bunch of others. This dragonfruit stains your hands red.
A little town called Benque had a fair this past week. We stopped by for a second and rode the Ferris wheel. It was definitely the shadiest Ferris wheel I have ever been on. And it was fast!

This is the most expensive Fanta and Pepsi we have ever bought. 20 dollars American.
Not really. It is because we were in Guatemala at the time and there is an exit fee :)
A Saturday adventure. We went to ATM which is a cave that ancient Mayans believed to be the gate to the underworld. This is a full human skeleton.
Oh, you know. Jacob and Sarah the spelunkers.
A HUGE Mayan pot. Never been touched. We had to swim in order to get into the cave, which was pretty cool.
Sarah helped with a summer camp in Succotz where they taught about cultures from all around the world, played games, and sang. The kids loved it!
We are continuing our work on the volunteer house we are building for the orphanage, and our work with diabetes in rural areas. Other projects are the music class, writing class, English classes, and work at a local hospital.
Sarah and I will be going to Belize City (on our own) tomorrow to meet with a missionary couple there and help them with a summer camp for 2 days. We have planned 2 half day activities and lessons to teach the kids. One day is Underwater themed and the other is Land Animal themed. I think it will be way fun. Pictures and stories to come.
