Carne Asada at Alas de Aguilas

Today was our big event to raise money for the church. We did have some meat left over, which we can sell tomorrow after the service. But we sold out of plates, chismol, sausage, beef and Coke. I hope you enjoy these photos. It was cool to see everyone working as a team. Some of these ladies have been working since yesterday. I am too tired to write.

Beans, a piece of cheese, beef (or pork if you choose) and chismol

Not so bad being bum rushed when it's by cute kids

We need more chismol!

Coke to go - in a bag. This is very typical here.
You bite off the corner and suck on the bag of Coke.

Explanation

You may notice that I write a little cryptically when referring to the place where I am now serving. I thought you should know why.

When I was hired my boss explained to me that security is a big issue. There is another group of people who fight for justice against highly publicized criminals and in big media cases. Sometimes their lives are threatened.

So, I am not allowed to say publicly where I work or with whom. I am also not allowed to take photos. My church leaders know and some of my closest friends know. But otherwise it is best if my Honduran friends don't know where I work.

We have taken a lot of extra steps to ensure my own safety, as well as my co-workers. Being discreet is part of that.

Hope that explains why my writing may be a little strange when I refer to the place I am currently serving.
