Week 23


 Aaaaaannnnddd.....more painting lol. Joel and Jay replaced all the boards that were falling apart and Joel has all the trim and edges that need to be done before spraying it (yes spraying instead of brushing, woo hoo!) I know he's looking forward to this project being done!

This was Joel's fun project this week, actually it was done in a day lol, it looks soooo cool!

 

It's also super functional. I've been working for awhile to clear out the gardens in  front of the lodge, it was so messy and vines everywhere, I don't like having places where 'things' could be hiding and we'd never see them. So now it's all nice and clear!


 


Our friends Jay and Myrtle came out for a day this week too. Jay helped with replacing boards and Myrtle wanted to show me (Jes) some different ways to use corn flour in my cooking. Myrtle is one of my best friends here and I love spending time with her. And eating her amazing food. So that was a pretty great day. Here's some fish panades she showed me how to make:

 
 
And now I'm hungry......
 
Joel also spent a day in the village with Kenny, Mike, and Jay welding the Tacoma back together (the one that broke in half), and fixing the suspension in the church van, and went to lifegroup.
 
Saturday we went to Belmopan where we had a lunch meeting with WGO again that went really well. Then we went to Spanish Lookout to run some errands, get groceries, and of course some ice cream :)  Then we went to our friend Jim's house. He and his wife Debie run Calvary Chapel Missions and have been a great encouragement to us, and also helped when our truck broke down a couple weeks ago. They have an amazing property on the top of a mountain where they host short term teams also. The view is amazing, and we even got to hear howler monkeys!
 

 
 
 
In other (important) news, Sage's chickens, Black and Sandy, are getting really big. Sandy has even been attempting to crow. Sage plays with them every day yet, and we feed them cooked oatmeal every morning :) They love the cleared out garden area and keep it free of bugs and weeds, it's pretty nice!
 



 
Have a great week!
