They All Speak English!

We made it back! Tonight I'll spend the night with Terri here in Minneapolis. It's really nice to be back. It was a really wonderful and blessed time but also very exhausting.

It's good to be where signs are in English and everyone understands what you are saying. Next time - Spanish lessons! Scott and I nearly got off our bus at the wrong stop but luckily the baggage guy stopped us as we were walking away. We thought we were in Cancun but we were a good 40 km (or so) walk away. All in all, we got the hang of the bus systems throughout Belize and Mexico - so if anyone's up for some econo-travel we'll make great guides.

On the trip back we met all kinds of interesting folks. From FBI agents to apprentice tour guides named "Prefecto" and every vacationer inbetween. Each one we tried to leave with a little encouragement and blessing. It's been good to be challenged to take every opportunity - Alex has been a real example to me in this.

Speaking of Alex, it was hard to leave him behind. Though he's got some good allies around him still a great deal remains to be done. We took a good look at his schedule and tried to set some realistic goals. It may be tricky to reach as many children as at first hoped but we will certainly have two more strong camping programs within the next couple of weeks.

I'm gunning to get some pictures loaded on this site soon so come back to see them.
