was taken right down the road from our house. We were on the way to an
appointment and they drove around the corner and yelled at us to stop
so Sister Bird could take a picture! She is such a mom! lol.
Yes, we were taught by some members how to make what they call
Dough-boy. It is just a bread with grated coconut in it. Then the other
day we taught them to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. They don't
eat a lot of sweet desserts here, but some of the members have grown to
like some of them because the missionaries will always bring them treats.
So they wanted us to teach them how to make cookies. It was funny
because Sister Crompton's mom's recipe uses apple sauce, so we
brought over all the ingredients including the apple sauce. We discovered
that they haven't ever had apple sauce! They asked, "where do you get that,"
and "what do you use it for?" and "It looks like baby food." Haha! Well we
let them taste it, and though a little unsure at first, after tasting
it they really liked it. The Sister called her kids all in to taste it!
The only thing I've really made that we make at home I think was
haystacks once. I have been making a lot of homemade tortillas and I
made homemade pizza dough once with a recipe out of a little book of
recipes Sister Bird gave us. I made No Bakes once from Sister Bird's
recipe, but it was a huge recipe! I didn't realize it until it was too late.
Unfortunately we didn't give any away...lol! We put them in the freezer
and ended up eating all of them during our lock-in for Carnival.
I haven't been eating very many prepared meals here. We don't have
a lot of time to cook for one, and when we do it is around 8 at night and
I don't want to eat a lot that late, plus, Sister Crompton eats healthy
so I don't like just making things for myself. I did make some baked
bbq chicken the other night that was good, but she doesn't eat much
meat, so that was a rare thing. It has been good for me to follow her
example of eating better and working out. We either go jogging or do a
workout dvd she had her mom send. I don't know if I will actually
lose weight, because I am gaining muscle, but I think it is making a
difference.
Wow, I have been rambling about nothing of real importance and haven't
even gotten to talk about Zone Conference yesterday! Well it was
really good and we learned a lot!! I am out of time though, so I will
have to write down what I want to tell you about it for next week. We
learned a lot about how to work with members and less actives which
was good. Sister Crompton and I also got to talk one on one with
Sister Mehr which was really helpful because we never get to talk with
other sisters to get advice, it was a great opportunity!
Well I love you all!
