Well it has been a lovely, rainy Sunday morning here in Belize. :
Things are still going well, definitely being stretched in a few different ways. Learning a lot and a little homesick but still going. Spent yesterday morning in town and walked all over putting up fliers for a women's conference that is going on in February with ladies coming down from Colorado. Town was pretty cool. Really small and lots of new people to meet.
I really want to see a storm while I am here, I hear they are pretty intense. Just to see one thunder and lightning storm would just make my trip that much better. : )
I think it was Friday we had lots of wind and ended up without power for almost 4 hours. Not a huge deal but was a new experience. And a couple nights this week two other interns and myself have stayed up late just talking, telling God and life stories and just chattin it up. The people here are still so amazing. Lots of support when I'm homesick or struggling with anything. I definitely miss everyone! But still goin on well. We are leaving for church soon, love you all and talk to you soon!

And for Sunday evening it was quite a good day. : ) Church this morning was pretty good. I don't know too many people at the moment but I am getting to some. After church a few interns and I went into town with a few of the kids and went swimming in the Caribbean Sea! How cool was that. Very salty though and the waves were a bit intense, but it was still fun. Then went and got little cups of ice cream and played at the perk with the kids and talked for a while. It was some good time spent out of the house. Though vacation time is going to be over now, haha, we have our second intern orientation tomorrow where we will get our for sure schedule, so work will be starting now. : ) I think things will still be good though.
As for tonight, we had an amazing dinner of Potato soup and Ketchi roles, yumm! And the building I am in is 3 stories high, but if you go out the door to the outside in the laundry room, it goes out to a mini balcony, but it has no railing, at all! So from three stories up it looks pretty crazy high. But if you climb a ladder you can go up to a platform kinda think that had the little water bottle thing on top that you can chill up there and just have some peace and quiet time or just look at the stars. It is quite amazing, and tonight I finally got myself to get up there! I was so proud of myself! At first I wouldn't do it because it was like I could get up there, but I knew I would have to get back down somehow and I really didn't want to freak out in from of everyone, so I just wouldn't go up. But tonight I was able to do it. : ) Went up there and chatted with Roy, Natalie and Jocelyne. They are truly some great friends.
So right now Natalie and I are just chillin in the upstairs office, both on our laptops just doin whatever. : ) I hope everyone has been able to see my pictures on facebook. They are pretty cool. A lot of them Jocelyne has taken because I am terrible at remembering to grab my camera when we go somewhere, haha. Love you all and will talk to you soon! : D
