Out and About Around Cuernavaca Part III

Well, here is part III to bring you up to date. We started this week preparing for Valentine's Day. The kids spent Sunday afternoon making Valentine cookies to share with people at the school and the guards at our apartment complex. Rebekah was very happy to be back in the kitchen. We don't have many baking supplies here so this is the first time she has been able to bake since we arrived. We weren't sure how the cookies would turn out because we didn' t know if we were getting self-rising flour or not, and we could not find baking powder. But, there weren't any left uneaten, so they must have been o.k.

Everyone putting on the finishing touches.

We started Valentine's Day with heart shaped pancakes and then delivered cookies to the guards and the school. That evening we got pizza for the kids and Vance and I got to go around the corner to a nice little restaurant. All in all it was a very good day!

On Thursday the girls and I got to attend a Mexican cooking class. Although I'm not sure we could recreate the dishes, we had a good time.

We cooked pollo con mole, arroz de mexicana, and frijoles.

And for dessert, cafe flan!

We have also been in contact with friend in Honduras over the last week or so. They are beginning to get things ready for us to arrive. We will be living the the same place we stayed when we visited last April with the plan to build a house for us when the funds become available. We also have folks there looking for a vehicle. We are hoping to have one bought before we arrive. However, the type of vehicle we need isn't extremely common so we would ask that you would join us in praying for the right vehicle at the right time. Although we are very excited to get to Honduras, we are also excited to see what the next three months will bring here in Mexico.
