evening! We are very excited to see our Spanish tutor, Dina, get married - especially because we got to help a little bit! A few weeks ago when she was giving us class, we offered her a sample of some cookies that I had made. She enjoyed them and semi-jokingly mentioned that she would love to have them at her wedding. Greg generously offered our services and made it official...we would make 250 oatmeal raisin cookies for her reception. As we prepared to start baking earlier this week, I thought the task would be quite daunting. However, since Greg and I worked together - and we were making them for a dear friend - it ended up being a lot of fun! We made a few on Wednesday evening, then on Friday cranked out the remaining 200. Crystal helped me package them and I would say after a total of 7 hours of work, the job was complete! In fact, Mario (Dina's fiance) just stopped by to pick them up...less than three hours before the wedding! 
Also in preparation for the la boda (the wedding) Greg needed to get his scuffed up dress shoes polished and shined. After unsuccessfully searching for a store, our friend Maria offered to take them to the market, get them cleaned up, and bring them back. We graciously obliged! She noted that it would be pretty unexpensive, so we sent her away with the shoes and 100 Lempira (about $5). She returned a couple hours later with the shoes in excellent condition (I wish I had a before photo) and 60 Lemps! We couldn't believe that it only cost two bucks! Quite impressive!
Our weekend has been very relaxing and the weather today has been unseasonably cool. It is overcast and there is definitely a chill to the air. We actually enjoy it when we have a change from the typical hot and humid weather. Hopefully the rain stays away though for the wedding tonight!
Have a wonderful weekend! God bless you!
