Sunday 4th October we celebrated the anniversay of Jesus El Nazareno Church.
We had a service and then all went upstairs to share some snacks, a big cake and the traditional fizzy pop in several colours and flavours!!

We had found lots of photos of the past years so these were stuck on the white board and as you can see everyone wanted to have a look. The young people were particulary surprised as many of them were in the old Sunday school photos.
Cooking in Shalom

On Friday we had a demonstation of the "caja maravilla' in Shalom. This is a system of cooking using two cushions filled with polysterene. The principle is rather like the old 'hay box' where you prepare the food in the normal way and then once boiling thoroughly is transfered between the 2 cushions. I had been telling the women about it but it wasn't until we cooked something that they saw the effect and realised how this could help them be more efficent in the home and also save gas.
