Dear Grace and Friends,
Wow! What an amazing experience you all are having in Belize. Maybe we should move there! I am not kidding. Belize seems so beautiful in its people and the landscape. When Mama and I went to Maui for our honeymoon (many moons ago), we spent a day on the East side of the island which is quite undeveloped and looks a lot like Gilligan's Island - beautiful and untouched by industrialization. I wanted to move there and start a school. Mama said it was a nice idea but too far from South Bend and the rest of our families. Maybe you can change her mind when you get home.
You all are doing some great service in the building, painting, and reaching out to the school children. Giving yourself away to others when you expect nothing in return is the greatest way to unbounded joy in life.
We went to Little Flower last night for the Lenten soup supper. Mary is making big bucks doing child care. It was good. Today, we are hanging out at home. Tonight, we go to dinner to celebrate Nana's birthday. She is 38 in her words! I think you know what that means.
The weather here is the pits. It is in the 30s at night and 40s and 50s during the day and it is overcast today. I long to be in Belize doing what you all are doing.
We love you Grace and hope that you continue to pour your heart into this trip, the people, and your classmates.
Love,
Papa
P.S. Mama says that she hopes that your thumbs are enjoying a much deserved rest... :)
