SITTEE RIVER DAY

Yes you got it... it's a crocodile...

As mentioned before, the group usually rides to Sittee every Friday. It's probably about the same distance to get to Silk Grass, but in the opposite direction... with about the same amount of paved road. Although the ride is long, and it tends to rain, the sights are awesome! This shot makes me feel like I'm on the plains of Africa...

This is how close that croc was to us in the first picture... this was to give a little perspective... and then we looked at the canal on the other side of the road and saw a baby croc and finally realized... we should probably get outta there! ha ha

April leading the way to her bible study Gloria.

This is Gloria. You would instantly fall in love with her.... after all of the things she has been through, she is doing so well on her study. Although she cannot read, she listens to the bible on mp3. She is always ready for her study, she is rarely missing from the meeting of which she makes heartfelt comments in Kriol. She speaks Spanish fluently, so she comes to the Spanish meeting in addition to the English, and comments up a storm! She is going to help me prepare a comment for the Spanish meeting this Sunday :) Her son Edgar is 15, and couldn't read a few years ago when he started to study... he is now baptized and gave a No. 3 talk on the school last week! They are such an encouragement to us all! By the way, the HUGE pot that is steaming is FULL of chicken tamales! Her son chops fresh banana leaves from the bush each morning, and she makes the tamales from scratch... then steams them in this pot to get them ready to sell at lunch time... SO YUMMY!

On this secluded dirt/rock road back to Hopkins we saw a large white chester (fill in the blank) van coming down the road... now if we were in the States we would have not made eye contact with the pervy driver, but in Belize we flagged him down and as 3 "white" girls would, we said, "Can you take our picture?"Obviously you can guess his answer. :)

More African Savannah :)
