Sunday is such a blessing to see people and fellowship. Shucutitian was really full and Reina came. We talked to her about studying Tuesday as we
are going to San Salvador on Monday.
This Sunday I went into the children’s class. It is done a little different. The children’s class meets during the time of
preaching. There is a short opening with
singing and announcements when you arrive and then a ‘recess’ and the children
go to class and the service begins. The
teens go to another home for a class during this time too. I really enjoyed the children’s class. Linda conducted the class and two of the teen
girls helped, Carolina and Catherine. They did storytelling, verse
memorization, craft, singing and lots of prayer. The interaction was great with the
children. There were about 12
children. After service, I stayed to go
visiting with the teen girls. We had
about 7 or 8 girls. I took some hotdogs
and cookies for lunch and then we had a devotional and visitation. We found about 4 families home and we had
prayer and singing. At one home we were
able to leave the remaining food and at another home, we had the opportunity to
talk more about choices. Both of those
were very moving. Yesterday was above 85
degrees and most homes are dirt floors and very dark. The dark helps with the
heat. I am always deeply moved by needs
and love among the people. It is hard to
put into words, but opening your heart in prayer gives a connection beyond
everyday greetings and general conversation.
When we finished, Dwaine came to pick us up and we had time for a short
rest in the heat of the day. Dwaine went
to the Ataco service and he said there was a good turnout there. When that finished we headed out for
Juayua. That service was a little
smaller, but the exciting thing was that Gloria and her husband came. We had studied with them this past Wednesday. It is encouraging to see visitors
coming. Carlos did all the teaching at
each service today as Hector had taken some teen guys to Nicaragua for a
retreat. He will be driving back soon,
so keep them in your prayers. We feel
that soon we will become more ‘routine,’ in our schedule, but for God we know
nothing is routine. Blessings.

A bloom opened in our small courtyard.
Lucky, this is the bloom you anticipated!
