This was our first Thursday to spend in Ataco. So far each Thursday, we have been going to
San Salvador to work on immigration papers.
Through the morning, we studied Spanish and Bible. Edgardo came by for a
visit and coffee. He was on his way to Triumphal for studies. We took about an hour for a walkabout. Dwaine had not been to the overlook of the
city with the cross. It is very near to
our current home, so we thought we would go during the morning. Actually, it will still be close after the
move. Ataco is very small. It was fun to identify houses and places we
know form the overlook. In our walk we
came across one political group gathering.
Elections are next week and there has been a lot of campaigning. We left after lunch for our studies. Catherine was still in exams so we did not
have that study. But, both Stephanie and
Reina were at home. For the first time
we went to the home study on Thursday evening and it was at the home of Rosamirida
where the Ataco church meets. We had a
good study of the life of Joesph, but at the end Dwaine and I started getting a
barrage of phone calls. Since we are
moving on Friday, we had given out phone number to Claro to change our internet
address. It took about 6 calls, each
from different people, to try to make the appointment. In the end, we don’t have a set time, but we
think they will come on Friday.
Thankfully the calls were all at the end of the study. Rosamirida graciously gave me 4 fresh eggs
from her chickens. She wanted for me to
have some fresh eggs. When we got home,
Dwaine packed the car to prepare for the move and then Bryan came over, Caleb
and Della’s high school friend. Dwaine
practiced some English with him while I baked some peanut butter cookies. We played a game of Blokus and talked about
studying the Bible on a regular basis.
We are going to try to begin with Romans. Caleb studied a lot with Bryan and one group
that visited here studied with him. He
is open to study, but is very active at a local church. We gave him our new address and hope he will
continue to come regularly for visits and study.
