| A ride home from church. They aren't going our way so we have to walk! (We live up the hill along the road to the right of the yellow building.) |
The beans and corn in the fields in Chatham-Kent have called us back for harvest, so we have returned from our "field" in Roatan wrapping up another season in the sun. The final half of our five-week stay continued with more teaching, more visiting, more hammering, and more encouraging. The following pictures show some of the highlights of a very satisfying time.
Baby Visits - 2 new little ones
 |
| Cinthia and Rosel and Their Three Sons. Baby Ethan born in July. |
 |
| Kenia and Alberto (at work) welcomed baby Keysi on August 31. Big sister Keydi adores her little sister. |
Other Visits
 |
| Greeting me on the door at Loli's - *The Favour of God is With Me* |
 |
| There is no one more welcoming than Loli. |
 |
| Loli's grand daughters preparing for afternoon school. |
 |
| It's always best to visit with this extended family when it is not rainy. Javie (on left) will be starting English class when we return. He will have a long walk but is excited! |
 |
| My last visit for this time - with Sandra and family. Sandra was wearing a special dress - I knew she wanted her photo taken. |
 |
| Jimena spent our visit brushing her hair. She is so proud that it has grown back following her treatments. |
 |
| School Visits. Checking in on the progress of some of the kids. The classrooms are bright and welcoming as are the teachers. |
 |
| Beach Visit - 😊 Sometimes we get a special gift. We can use the pool at this resort when we want - gratis. Thanks, God. |
Hammering
 |
| The hammering on our house is finished again. We have a roof over our perch. I don't think that the tie-on rope was tied on. |
 |
| The hammering and jacking up of the kitchen, at the church is finished for now. Ivan, Saul, and Larry share strategies for making it happen and what to do next. |
Teaching
 |
| Class time - homework, Rosetta Stone/computer, and English lessons. |
 |
| We were so proud of Jessie as she stepped up to teach the Youth group on a Friday night - with only a few minutes to prepare. |
 |
| I had an opportunity to teach the Youth group on the last Friday. Thanks Joshua for translating for me. |
From the church
 |
| Bienvenidos to church. |
 |
| Piñata Whacking! |
 |
| Children's Day |
 |
| Also very proud of Joshua for his willingness to serve at church. He takes responsibility for the audio/visual needs at 4 services a week. He is also becoming competent on the drums - not yet in public. |
Odds and Sods
 |
| This building! We have watched for a few years as craftsmen sculpted the pillars and painted all with an underwater theme. Just look at the roof! You won't find another like it. |
 |
| The kids - with a trophy from our dog, Hunter. Hunter frequently presents us dead lizards. |
 |
| A view from the beach - dolphin training. |
 |
| Hummingbird couple in the tree beside our dining deck. |
 |
| An example of finding a way to meet your need - homemade dumb-bells for weight lifting. The weights are made out of cement. (see next picture for weight lifting in the extreme) |
 |
| Hot, hot work. Cement hoisted up bucket by bucket in 40+ degree temperatures. Want a job? |
Wrap Up
 |
| Bye, Hunter! |
