The month of February ended off with Dayana's birthday. She turned 14 on the 28 and we celebrated by having Rosemary and her kids over, all 6 of them!
   March 1! I can't believe it's March already. Where has time gone??? To kick off the month I went to immigration to get my passport stamped one last time. I was in and out of there in an hour, which was great!
   Wednesday morning I went to preschool. I only one more time left. It was read aloud day at preschool so I got to read a story to the kids. Some more kids that I have fallen in love with and have to say good bye too.

   On Thursday some a family came over for lunch and spent the day. They are from Manitoba and are down here doing prison ministry. They did a concert here in San Ignacio the week before. They are also related to Margaret.
   Friday morning had an early start. Margaret and I went to see the start of the La Ruta Maya Belize Canoe Race. It's a 3 day canoe race that starts here in San Ignacio and finishes in Belize City. So we watched them start at 7 in the morning. After we stopped for pupusas at the market. For the Friday night bible study it was just me and Dayana. Then for supper we were invited to another families place.

   Saturday morning I went and tutored Zeriah, and then in the evening I looked after Zion while Margaret was out. Sunday we went to church in the morning. In the afternoon because it was the first Sunday of the month we went and visited another church to give encouragement. The service was done in Spanish. so I didn't get too much out of it. On the way back we stopped at Cayo Twist for some ice cream. In the evening Marisol and the kids came up we all hung out. And of course played a game of Qwirkle.
   Monday was a holiday here, so the kids had no school. I had decided I wanted to go to the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins for one last excrusion, and Dayana was able to join me. It was great being able to enjoy the experience with someone else. It's about 15 minutes away to the ferry that you have to take across to the sight. Once you cross the ferry it's a mile uphill to the sight. On the way there we took a ferry and then on the way back we caught the bus from the main road. So I have now ridden the bus!!
