Today a fellow missionary invited me out to Obule to check out her cooking class. It was exciting to see a group of women coming together to learn a new recipe.
The lesson was called "15 Minute Donuts" and had only six ingredients.
The ladies struggled to make them round, but after a long time, I finally confessed that they don't have to be round... westerners just think that's cool... but they could design little balls if that was easier. They completely relaxed after that and loved the lesson. Although working with oil on a charcoal stove is hard to moderate the temperature.
After making two or three batches, Ronnie went through all the ingredients with the ladies and they also had a math lesson by multiplying all the ingredients by 4 and then pricing it out, in case they wanted to sell donuts as a snack. What a joy to watch other workers in the field!!
Karen we are praying for you as you say your good-byes and continue to minister to the people there before coming back to Ontario. May God grant you His strength and wisdom at this time.
