36 Pupusas

I was going through some of my older pics from previous mission trip to El Salvador and I came across a cetain pic and I was reminded of a hilarious thing involving pupusas that occurred when on a mission trip with the team from Stonebrook. So it was our last night in ES and a group of us from the team decided that we needed to eat pupusas one last time, because they are the most amazing food ever. So take into account that it is about 11pm and so we were at the hotel and Patrick one of the guys goes up to the waiter person to order pupusas. The thing is that Patrick really didn't speak Spanish...he was good at using broken Spanish, so he said that he wanted 12 pupusas but I guess the waiter was a bit confused and really didn't understand, because about 15 minutes later(after we were wondering why it was taking so long to cook just 12 pupusas) the waiter guy came over and asked if anyone in the group spoke Spanish, so Anna and I said that we did and he was like "did your friend mean 12 pupusas or 12 orders of pupusas?". At that instant I knew what had happened and then the waiter said that he thought Patrick wanted 12 orders of pupusas, which translates to 3 per order so 36 pupusas...it was actually really really funny.


Here are the 36 pupusas! :)

Hey All!

Sorry that it has been a while since I have posted. Things have been a bit busy trying to get things done and wrapped up before I head to El Salvador. I am excited to announce that I have sent in my request to be released to assignment and hopfully in the next couple of days I will get the ok to buy my plane ticket and such and leave for ES here in the next week/week and a half. I am really thankful for all of you and this wouldn't be possible without you!

I've been spending a lot of time with my nieces and my nephew since I won't be able to see them when I leave, def a yay/yuck duck time. It will be really hard to say goodbye to them especially since they are so young and they really don't understand but for now I am enjoying my time with them, chasing them around the playground, playing with them and just laughing with them. I've also been really into the Women's World Cup, but those of you who know me well know that I love soccer and this World Cup hasn't disappointed, especially the USA game versus Brazil, it was probably one of the most amazing games I have seen and I am so excited to see the USA win the World Cup!!!

I still have to say that I really miss my friends from SPLICE!! I still think that I see/hear them when I go places. It puts a big smile of my face everytime I think of my time at SPLICE and the people who I spent that time with! :) So I leave you with some pics from when we went to Focus on the Family while we were in CO. I do have to say that we have so much more fun in the kids section than the adult area. :)
