February 25, 2015

Wednesday tends to be a busy day and this one was no exception.  We studied some Spanish and Bible during the morning hours and left home about 10:30 to go out for the day.  First, we went to Salcoatitan to walk around with Cesar and Eliza to get an idea of safety and size.  This town borders Juayua and we are considering moving closer to Juayua eventually for the work that is starting there.  We only spent about an hour in this location, but it was good to get a sense of the town.  Afterwards, we drove to Juayua, about 5 minutes away.  We ate lunch and went to Sister Regina’s home.  We had a slower start to the afternoon because Osvaldo and Hector were working on construction on Osvaldo’s home in Ahuachapan.  We visited Sister Ana, with Arthritis, for a devotional and she was in good spirits.  We were talking about the snow in Huntsville and were trying to learn the word for ‘inches’….pulgadas.  And, the topic of fleas came up…..pulgas.  Then, the jokes started.  All throughout our visits we kept mixing the words and everyone was just laughing and laughing.  It was a good encouragement to smile and laugh.  It was a blessing to that Cesar and Eliza were with us.  Of course they had their baby Abigail.  She always smiles and it was nice for Ana to enjoy their company too.  Next, the usual two studies were out, so we studied with two other neighbors of Regina’s.  I continue to be amazed at her outreach and influence.  Her life if definitely a testimony for Jesus.  Finally, we went to study with William Rivers, the man we had studied with each week.  While Cesar, Dwaine and I go to this study, Osvaldo teaches at Regina’s home.  Some of the people that have been in the studies came.  Our study with Mr. Rivers was great.  Cesar had researched his questions and that got us started.  We talked about world religions and the background of the church.  Everyone contributed and it was a good study.  After the studies, Osvaldo said he would come by the house and pick up the stove stored in our home for the church.  Since we are moving, we are trying to clear out everything we can.  So, Cesar, Eliza and Osvaldo came to our home for dinner.  I had put on red beans and rice in the morning and it was delicious by 8 o’clock.  Of course, we checked in with all the kids on the snow totals.  It was fun the experience the snow through their videos and pictures.  We thought Cesar and Eliza might spend the night, but Osvaldo, Eliza’s brother, really wanted them to come be with their family.  Looks like we might have to ‘take turns’ having them for the nightJ
