Hello all,
I can't believe it, I am actually making a post to my blog 2 days in a row! Wow! I think that this is a first, or a near first at least! Well, today was a really good day here a the home. Bobby and I have met a group of Americans who are here working as teachers in a Christian school. They go to the same church that we do, which is where we met at. They have come out to the home the past 2 Sundays to hang out with the kids, which has been really great because they are super cool and it is nice to have fellow Americans to hang out with every now and then. We also had 2 teachers come out to visit today from Honduras. They are actually Americans also but they are working as teachers in Honduras. They were in El Salvador visiting for the weekend and decided to come out here and hang out with the kids also. All of the teachers were quite excited because when they came out today they learned how to make pupusas. Pupusas are a traditional El Salvadorean food that basically consists of a soft round rice flour or corn flour tortilla that is stuffed with either beans, cheese, pork, or a combination of all three. They are super cheap (like about 30 cents each) to buy and there are like a million (okay, maybe not a million, but close) little pupusarias (little pupusa restaurants) on every street. The teachers all went into the kitchen today and the girls taught them how to make the pupusas and they helped girls and the cooks make dinner. It was quite funny to see the kitchen stuffed full of so many gringas! Ha, ha. I have posted a couple of pictures of them hard at work in the kitchen today. The first picture is of the two American teachers visiting from Honduras (Jen and Joy) and the second photo is of the teachers who are working here in San Salvador. You can visit the phanfare website to see more pupusa photos and to see the very funny "how to make pupusas" instructional video that we made! Quite hilarious!

I also got to talk to some of our youth from GNG tonight! Yeah! How great it was to hear your voices. I didn't realize how much I missed you guys until after I talked to you on the phone. We can't wait to come home and visit. We love you all bunches!
