Alexandria is our English speaking investigator here in Rustavi. We really enjoy spending time with her. Last month she turned 30 and we had a small birthday party for her. I made cupcakes and the missionaries brought the balloons!
Alexandria asked the missionaries what an American pie was and how it was made. So we invited her over one evening. E. Reese taught her how to make the pie crust and I showed her how to make the filling. Then we put it in the oven, which as you remember takes careful monitoring!
This is what we were watching!
Luckily it turned out beautiful - we were so proud!
With a little ice cream - it tasted delicious!
Alexandria offered to show us around the local Bazaar. She took us up and down every isle and all around. There was every item imaginable there - clothes, shoes, kitchen stuff, bedding, electrical, and lots of produce and food.
This was the best area to get produce - she picked potatoes out of the back of the truck! We found a truck full of pumpkins and got a great one.
How thick do you want your steak? This is how they butcher their meat in Georgia - even at the grocery store.
We are waiting for the bus to take us back home after a productive day at the Istanbul Bazaar.
That meat shop does not look very sanitary. How fun to have a little Birthday Party for her. The pie looks wonderful.
