Feeding the Elders

On Thursday our congregation had the privileged of feeding the elders in the elders school. I went to Reenie's house at 8am and we started cooking. We had a few sisters come join us and help. Had a great time. We made Shepard's pie, tomato salad and fruit salad. We also picked up some pineapple drink from a sister's house. This is how she made it:
The outside of the pineapple, with a little cinnamon, she boiled in water for 30 minutes with the lid on. Then she let it cool with the lid on for the flavor to stay inside. (Best to let it cool over night, it becomes really golden). Added a little sugar and you have a sweet drink that is supposedly very good for you.

Anyways then we went to another sister's house to pick up the bread. She makes bread every morning, starting at 4:30 am and bakes it so it is fresh to sell to the local stores here. Usually every piece goes for about 1 Boliviano (0.14 cents) and that is when it is sold from the store. She makes enough to fill the back of her car. Her husband  goes out and sells it to the local stores. Well on Thursday she made extra for the elders. They enjoyed having warm bread with their meal very much. Many had seconds of everything. I really enjoyed it a lot. And the sisters were glad to have Justin there to pick everything up.
