Today we got to try out our new stove. This past week we had an outdoor stove made. It is even the new eco~stove. It uses less wood to burn. Excited about this as this is important the kids learn to cook on one of these and as a plus it will help us save money. As many people here in Honduras only use a wood burning stove to cook. I am hoping that during summer break we can start making our own tortillas. The kids will learn to make them and learn how to use the stove. Today Elvia was excited about getting to use the new stove. She was making the kids lunch on it this morning. Hopefully we can build ourselves an outdoor oven too.
Fernando has a debt for money he has taken from people at school to he is in charge of collecting the wood for the fire every day to pay off his debt. Not too happy about it but he has to do something to pay off the money he owes the teacher. Yesterday after about 5 trips of hauling wood he came to me sweaty, hot, and tired and wanted to know if it was enough. This morning he was at it again looking for more wood.
