When Rachel's parents came in August they brought the most wonderful early birthday gift from Beth, Anthony, Josiah and Shaylah. It was a tortilla flattener to help me in making my tortillas. This tool has been so wonderful and I have loved using it. It helps my tortillas to be nice and round everytime!!! Here are some pictures of me using it. Thank you so much for my awesome birthday gift:)
Typical tortilla making setup
Pressing the Tortilla
Making tortillas is so much fun with my new tortilla press!!!!
What a jolly tortilla making man!!!!
Look at that perfectly round tortilla
(they still need to be worked after pressing them in order to get them to the right thickness)
In other news we were supposed to have a training for making the bio-sand filters tomorrow but Rachel has informed me that the teacher involved at her school is going to a funeral and so are all the people he was bringing. That's the second time they have bailed on this for a funeral...hmmmm I guess we can't compete with how wonderful funerals are or they are not being upfront regarding their level of interest. We might just build the mold tomorrow anyway and show them how we did it next time. We don't really have time to wait for people to decide when they are gonna show up. Training people to be able to make these filters is a secondary goal to the project and we don't want to jeopardize the main goal of families actually receiving filters because these guys aren't serious.
Hope all is well and God bless you today,
Caleb and Rachel
