Today I went to my first engagement party in Belize! It is so different than US. They are both 17 years old. They courted for a few months and then he asked the parents if they could get married. She had no ring until the engagement party and there they sit in a big circle (parents, grandparents and discuss finances of when it is possible for them to get married). They chose the first weekend in April. I am so sad because Dena will be leaving Laguna and moving to Stann Creek with her new husband. I got to bond with her in Laguna and now she is leaving kinda soon.

Tues December 8, 2009 (The horrible BUM story)
Today I made my K’ekchi lesson. However, missed my karate lesson!
I did make it in to town to get internet. (My favorite). I have a horrible story about this bum… So on Garrifina Settlement day back Nov. 19, Katie (a PCV) told me that this man works so hard and is really hungry so give him 2 dollars. So since I did feel bad I did.
Then he approached me again with his cigarette and asked for 10 dollars another day. I said all I had for him was a dollar. Then he left. He continues to come up to me. I have to say no.
So the first time I said no… he gave me this whole big speech aren’t I Christian…. Blah blah blah. Then I walked away… he cursed every name in the book at me.
Then I saw him when I was getting food and I had a smile on my face (as usual and he said don’t you laugh at me you f…. b…..Uh I gave him 4 dollars total and he was never grateful and now he just curses at me. What a lousy man.
