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.
