February 13, 2015

We got home somewhat earlier tonight and not quite as tired.  We went down a long and rocky road to Santa Katarina Masahuat.  On the way we passed two different men who were each carrying a fairly large tree trunk and then three ladies in a group each carrying a large bundle of wood on their heads.  I guess those people really “would” work.  The preacher’s meeting had 23 people attending (Charlotte was the only lady).  There were several people there we had known from past trips to El Salvador and several new ones that were great to meet.  Allan Melton from Texas was here in El Salvador and he came to the meeting to tell the preachers about the program he was involved in to try to supply songbooks and Bibles to all Christians and regular visitors to services at any of the congregations in El Salvador and all the other Central and South American countries.  He is 78 and still going pretty strong and he spoke in Spanish.  He and Cesar are to come to our house for lunch Monday.  We are looking forward to that. The preacher and his son had asked Charlotte to do a 3-part seminar regarding teaching.  That will be something to work toward sometime in the future.  After the meeting we drove to have a study with a new Christian.  We had set a goal of memorizing John 3:16 in Spanish.  That was funJ.  We are going to have a memory verse every week.  We will memorize in Spanish and she will memorize in English.  We decided to study the book of Mark to learn more about Christ.  She desperately wants her mother to go to church.  We invited her to sit in on the study.  While she didn't, I know she heard it for she was just in the next room. Additionally, we went to another home Bible study tonight that Bro. Carlos led.  He does a really great job and we always enjoy his teaching very much.  We were sorta on the front porch of the house where it was fairly open and it was really windy.  I sure was wishing I had taken my jacket and I am pretty sure Charlotte was chilly too.  Tomorrow we are going to be more at home getting ready for Osvaldo and his family to come to dinner.  Charlotte is going to an afternoon ladies class and Carlos is coming by at 3:00 to take us to look at another house here In Ataco.  So we will have more to tell about tomorrow.
