This is our first batch of cookies we made in the oven of our gas stove.  I love cooking on this stove and it is so easy to keep clean.  When not in use it has a cover that you can see the cookie pan is sitting on.  We were given some chocolate chips today by the Andrus' who are going to be the over the S. Sudan area of our mission.  They are afraid the chips will melt up there so she gave the Ballstaedts, Crayks and us her last three bags.  These cookies are the Mrs Fields cookies with currents.  We shared some with all our friends including the Wests down stairs and one set of missionaries.

Rand wanted to show some of the paper money.  Some of it isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Today our walk took us past the WW11 cemetery.  The Ugandans fought with the British

As you can see there was an African rifle brigade in WW11 that fought from Uganda

Andrea had six women come to learn to make a cake.  I went down to help her for part of the time.  She had to teach them how to measure like they were first year 4H students.  They were so pleased to learn a new skill & recipe

These two women are twins and do catering.  I think they are dump cooks like me.

Caught Andrea licking her finger covered with cake batter.  She is so good with these people and loves teaching.  Besides cooking and English she also teaches keyboard.  Her husband Aaron teaches  a simple business course as well.  Andrea  has learned to speak simply and slowly so they can understand.  I'm trying to do the same.
