It's Been Awhile..

So to start off with this post, I'm thinking I will start with some pictures. Comment me if you like them =]

That is me on the way home from the hospital. It took about 10 minutes to walk from the hospital back to the home where I was staying.

This is the famous bridge that connects YWAM to Roaring Creek. I am now afraid of this bridge since my leg went though it, so I walk extra slow now.. aha. I am the one in the blue on the bridge.

This is me in my scrubs. They were very comfortable. I liked them a lot. I kinda wish I still had them.

This was one of my last days at the hospital. I really liked that bench. It was pretty comfy.

This is me looking at the ocean on top of one of the ruins. It was very pretty up there.

This is where the girls slept for 2 nights. then we went to the principles house and slept on his roof. That was an experience.

ALSO!

Well there are two new videos,

They are really good. Check them out..

I just wanted to start off by saying I am sorry that I haven't posted anything recently. I have finished my placement at the hospital. Last week we went to Corozal, and we painted 2 buildings, and ripped down half a building at the local high school. That five day trip was quite an experience, no showers, sleeping on the floor of a hallway, without any real doors, and living out of a bus. It was a good experience though. It taught me to be grateful for things that I never really thought about before.. like a shower. aha.

I will write more later!

HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!!

I am sorry I am not there. =[

Videos!

Sooo Laura is doing videos for every week we are here.. so here is the links for the ones she has finished.

Getting Back To You

I just wanted to thank everyone for the comments and emails, It really means a lot to me and it shows me that people are thinking about me back home.
To get back to some of the comments,

Its true what I told my mom, Mangoes are not in season right now. But they eat them here when they arnt ripe. They are hard and green and they put salt and chili pepper on them. Jeremy bought himself some on the way to the river last Sunday, and they were pretty interesting. I still like the sweet ones better.

The hospital is vegetarian but my family isn't. Which is good. They make really good chicken here. But they also cook the feet.. and eat them. Which is pretty interesting. My family doesn't make me eat re-fried beans, or chicken feet. Which is awesome.. I think I have been turned off to beans ever since that one blast the leader...

All the fruit here is amazing. I really am enjoying the papaya with lime of course.

About the weather, its in the low 90s, which is maybe Africa hot? aha. I am so happy I missed that horrible snow storm.

The hospital is alright. Last week Rachelle and I just worked in the kitchen, which was sort of like Longos. But Kathy said she would talk to them so hopefully it will be better this week. Rachelle fainted on the first day when they took her blood. I have never seen anybody faint, so that was pretty interesting. So for the first morning I got to wash dishes all by myself.. heck yes. not. aha.

Hey to my special nabour friends Ethan and Oliva. Chris and Lisa.
It is very interesting here because it is all so different from Canada. The land is beautiful, the people are nice, and the weather is hot hot hot. The jungle is all around the YWAM base. You hear all kinds of noises coming out of there. When I was at my home placement, the people here caught 4 tarantulas and a coral snake, which is one of the most deadliest snakes in the world. There are also a lot of jaguars here, but none of us have seen any yet. I thought I heard one Saturday morning, but I'm not too sure.

My mom told me I didn't need a sweater, but it does get chilly here at night.
I did my first load of laundry today.. It is nice having all clean clothes.

I promise I will try to send some of this weather up to Canada, I can't make any promises though :P

Say hi to everyone at March Break School!! Maybe show them some of my pictures? Keep praying for me!

The merman is Ben. He's always with the ladies.

My families last name is not Arita. Here, the call people by there first name. So the moms name is Mrs.Arita.

I have a younger brother, an older brother, and an even older sister. They are so funny. Josiah wants to come to Canada to visit me. Soo he can be my brother in Burlington as well! aha.

The bunny is a pet of a little girl who's parents had a barbeque for us. I am in love with that bunny. It reminded me of Peter. =[

The blue outfit is for sure my scrubs. They are super comfy..

I put on sunscreen 2ce yesterday and I am still soooo burnt. I can barely move my arms.
Please call my placement house sometime this week mom and dad. I miss you.
I'm not homesick yet though.

Sun Burnt.

Jey guys.

This morning we went to the keys. The south key..

It was crazy. We went snorkeling. When you stood on the beach of the one side you could walk like 30 steps and then be on the other beach, it was crazy. I loved it there. The ocean is so warm here.

We all got so burnt though, I actually look like I am from Belize now. Heck yes, maybe creepy guys wont stare at us anymore. aha Rachelle.

Everyone, don't worry about the dog. (Especially Mom, and the aunts!) He's really nice, and well trained.

Sooo I know you want to know about how it is here, and I apologize because, there is no internet where I am staying, and no internet at my placement. Sometimes Josiah and I can get onto the nabours wireless, but not that often. aha so it is a surprise when we get it.

Anyway..

About the home I am staying at,

This is Mrs. Arita and Mr. Edwardo.

They are super cool. =]

This is Josiah and his mom. He doest really like pictures, but then he actully let us get one of him and his parents. It was parent night at his high school.

I have already posted a picture of Melody, shes so cute. I love her.

And this is Jeremy, hes cool too =]

My placement is kinda blah, Rachelle and I work in the kitchen. But they need us there, so I guess I understand. We get to meet alot of people so thats good. Aha and have teenage guys hit on us. prettyyy funny. not.

Butt.. here are some more pictures! I'll tell you more later =]

They had a big boat race friday morning, this is josiah.

More pictures!

Hey guys! I promise I'll write more later. We are going to the Keys early tommorow morning!

I promise I will do a long post.

I am safe,

And I love it here
