Today I went around Laguna and visited the villagers. I want to get to know all the Laguna people. It is important to integrate fully in the community.
I visited Ms. Jacqueline. She is a Spanish (Guatemalan) speaking Belizean. I went over to discuss some Spanish vocabulary practice. However, we mainly talked about fundraising ideas for Laguna’s Computer Internet Lab. (It was really beneficial to visit her … I learned many new ideas).
I also visited the alcade, Mr. Coy, and tutored his daughter for the spelling bee.
I visited the Pops as well and they invited me to their Christmas party (they were having that night). It was lots of fun. I saw many villagers and practiced my K’ekchi with them.

There is a cold front in Belize. It is SOOO chilly. I am very surprised… I didn’t think that Belize got that cold. I froze last night. I kept getting up and adding more blankets, sweatshirts, and sweatpants. I even added put a towel around my head because I my thatch house lets all the air come in the roof and wooden walls.
Today was a lazy Christmas break day. I read my book, The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw. It is an excellent book about Belize. I could relate and understand so much of it… especially since I live in Belize!
My host family and I borrowed the movie 2012 from the Pop family. We watched it… I really liked it. I learned even more about the Mayans from that movie.
