The Jelly Worked!!!!


Today the ladies that work at the mission were showing me the food things in the pantry that the former missionaries left. They had Jello packets they brought from the states. The ladies said they tried several times to make it as a surprise for us but that is was always liquid. They couldn't get it to work right. I went through the packets and threw away the ones that were 15 years old... Scary... and showed them how to make it with a newer pack. Tonight as I was eating dinner one of the ladies called. She said, "The Jelly worked!!!" She was so happy. So tommorow they will have their first chance at eating Jello so that should be fun! The ladies have been so helpful to me in being my cultural trainers. They help me understand everything from the Indian food I am eating, to the Indian clothes, and language. Also Immanuel told them they should try and make food for us that we like so that we don't get homesick and leave. I thought that was funny. I appreciate the way they care so much for us. They also love to play with Moriah so that gives me a good break!
