A Cooking Lesson

First of all, please pray for one of our team members, Jennifer.  She is still sick, and it is just not the same without her!  

Today after church, we learned how to make baleadas.  Unique to Honduras, baleadas are flour tortillas with beans, cheese, and sour cream wrapped together.  We have eaten at Coco Baleadas, a restaurant, several times already.  Don't judge.  One of the girls from our English class, Nicole, told me she could teach me how to make baleadas.  So, we set a date for the cooking lesson after church, and we would prepare lunch for everyone.  (Friends back home, be prepared to eat baleadas...I'm now an expert.  We will have a party.)


After cooking, we went for a walk around the Central Park.  We even snuck into a free concert in this beautiful theater along with seeing some awesome cathedrals.  All in all, we had a pretty cultured day.
Here are a few fun pictures from the day!
