Friday is here and we feel it! We're glad to have finished another week of progress in Spanish school. We're on lesson 11 of 18. We need lots of practice speaking now. This week we made homemade pizza twice! It was good. It'll be even better when we get Mozzarella cheese instead of Quesillo on it! We have only enough pepperoni for one more pizza, so we're conserving until a special day. Tonight we will eat fajitas! A lady from church gave us 3 big avocados grown in the 'bush'. We're going to make the flour tortillas and use chicken with a fajita seasoning packet (thanks Zachrys!) My mouth is watering already! We'll let you know how the tortillas turn out. I've heard they're more difficult than the corn which we're good at making now.
Yesterday was special. We have a friend, Erin, who we mentioned before that we met at the beach, who had a birthday this week. She came over and ate a wonderful pasta/tomato sauce/cheese dish with us (made by Amanda). Then we all had some birthday cake: strawberry with cream cheese frosting. (also made by Amanda) Our cake pan is double wide, so Amanda made the thin cake, frosted it, and rolled it up like a jelly roll , and we froze it. Everyone ate a cold sweet slice of the cake. Yum. Very refreshing in this heat.
Next week we're invited to go to Erin's home in the Cays. The Cays are 12 islands about 30 minute boat ride away from Utila. Erin stays in Utila with her Grandmother during the week for school, then rides the boat home for the weekend. She says about 300 people live on her island. We're looking forward to that experience with her family. Well, that's about it for right now. Very routine at the moment. After our homework is done, we might have to fit in a few hours of snorkeling since it's been over a week since we've gone to the beach!
Adios!

Fajitas... My tummy grumbles in jealousy.
I'm soooo happy for you guys!
I've been praying for you a lot. I'm glad God is blessing you so much. ^___^
I can't wait to hear you all speak spanish when we see each other in the future!
God bless and have fun on the boatride and in the Cays!
Hey David, Thanks for being first! I feel blessed. :-)
When are you leaving to college? You have Skype , right? We do too now. Our contact name is millsgirls. We'll think of you as we eat our fajitas tonight. Ask your Mama to make um for you too tonight. then we'll be sharing the same meal across the sea!
Blessings! Miss Denise
Hello Denise and girls,
Your time there sure is passing quickly. Wow! Only 8 more lessons to go. I'm sure you are leaning a lot and will be able to be pretty fluent soon.
Erin's birthday party sounded like a lot of fun. The frozen cake sounds like a great idea. I may have to try that sometime.
That's exciting that you are going to take an excursion to the Cays next week and share some time with Erin and her family there.
I can smell the fajitas now. I know they will be great.
Haven't got skype yet---would have to get a microphone. Will let you know when we decide. Has your mom done it yet?
Time for Uncle Ed to get home from a long week at work. I'll share the latest from you with him.
Have fun snorkling this weekend.
Love, hugs and our prayers,
Aunt Becky and Uncle Ed
guess my math isn't so good----7 more lessons :-)
Yeah, we've got skype! ^__^
I'll be leaving on the 13th. :O AHHH!!! lol Mama made lasagna (is that how you spell it?) so no fajitas. But it's ok, I was thought of while fajitas were eaten so it's all good. ^__^
A Monday morning hello to all of you.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and Sunday.
Email from mom/grandma this morning saying she got to talk to you and how good you all sounded.
That was so sweet seeing Jeff's post to Amanda about the welcome home Switchfoot concert. He's a sweetie. HI JEFF AND DEANNA, ROB AND TAYLOR!!
Wonderful news from here. Madison will be baptized on Saturday in Betty's pool. She requested that and that Uncle Jon and Aunt Steph baptize her and that it be a backyard church service!
Did you get to snorkle over the weekend?
Looking forward to your next post.
Love, hugs and prayers,
Aunt Becky and Uncle Ed
Thank you for the updates on VBS and such! It sounds like things are really being set in motion, and contacts being gained. I can tell y'all are enjoying Spanish, even though the learning is so much effort. Isn't it so fun being able to communicate with people with whom you couldn't before? It was great to hear about Leon, and all the other lives y'all are touching. They and y'all are in my prayers.
Whoops! Forgot to sign. Above post by David S
