A Pupusa Party



 
The afternoon Mike, Pastor Carlos, Maida and I paid our friends a visit about their church, somehow pupusas came up into the conversation. This community has never had pupusas.  We decided we would teach them how to make the pupusas.  Well Maida will teach them not me.  I will just help eat them.  We got all the materials together to prepare this meal.  Valerie shared in the airport parking lot upon her first time arrival into Honduras she hoped she could cook this week. Valerie shared how she loved to be in the kitchen preparing meals and feeding others.  Well was she forever in for a treat. 
First of all her and her new friend, Potunia picked the firewood needed to start the fire for the clay stove they would be cooking the pupusas upon.  Once the fire was going they started cleaning the vegetables for the slaw, carrots and cabbage.  Then Potunia with Maida's assistance started needed the flour for the dough of the pupusas.  Every lady around was there to learn how to make this scrumptious dish.  There is another blessing as well the ladies are wearing their aprons given to them by a team who was here earlier in the year.  I looked and there was those aprons which were made by some ladies from a church in North Carolina.  They treasure their gifts they receive from their North Americans sisters.
The morning progressed and the production line of pupusas was progressing as well.  These ladies became pupusa experts in no time at all.  So for lunch this day we all enjoyed our pupusas topped with the most delicious slaw made of only cabbage, carrots and a squirt of lime.
The team enjoyed their pupusa party and their tummies were full.
Thank you all who helped make this special time possible.
 
The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Matthew 14:21
