Food, climb, and baptism

Grandma Juana Osorio made "3 times cooked" (tres cocimientos) atol for all 4 missionaries. She was married at 16 to a man she didn't know, who was almost 12 years older. (She said if she didn't love him she could have refused.) they have now been married for over 60 years.
Atol with cinnamon, what you can't see is about 50 flies buzzing around.
For lunch all the missionaries went to Juana Morente's house and cut green bananas to fry.
We grated a ton of carrots and cabbage with lime juice, made salsa, and fried chicken. 
 It is a Honduras dish and was very tasty, we loved it.
 This morning we climbed the hill to the letters of Rabinal, we had to get through the gate first.
 Almost to the top of the hill.

 We had about 10 minutes more to the letters but had to get back for a baptism. The letters are at the top of the hill to the right.
 We got back and showered and changed. Had our talks and songs and headed to the chorros in the mountain. Faustina (or Tina, who was baptized) and Elder Flores went into the water.
 Sang a song and had a prayer and headed back to the pickup that brought us up.
 31 people in our group for the baptism and 7 natives and the driver. When we hit bumps we scraped the bottom of the truck on the road.
 Missionaries in Rabinal and Cubulco.
There has to be a fun pic!
