Beautiful Feet: March 15, 2015

In the morning yesterday we went to Shucutitan and got to hear Edguardo preach for the first time. At least I did, Charlotte helped teach the children’s class. In the afternoon we went to the Ataco service and Charlotte asked him if he was going to preach again. He said no and she said she was sorry she had missed him so he spoke to Carlos who was going to preach in Ataco and told him that he would like to preach again so Charlotte could hear him and Carlos said that was fine with him. That was pretty neat that Edguardo preached again just so that Charlotte could get to hear him. After the Ataco service we left early for Juayua. Recardo and Jolienete had moved there just last Tuesday and we met them at 6 at the entrance and went to see their new house. It was really big and quite pretty but they were having to buy water because it did not have a water source of its own and also the street going into the house was very rough. They said they were hoping these problems would be resolved soon. Then we all went to the 7:00 service. We had a good number of people and one family of visitors. It seemed like our first service there on our own because Osvaldo was having vehicle problems and was not able to come and Hector had preached at a church far away in the morning and did not come either. By the time we fellowshipped a little afterwards it was about 9 when we got back home. That is now 10 Huntsville time so we skyped with Leanna a few minutes but that was all.

Besides the services I also studied with the teen girls. We had about 8 girls and Bessi led a devo on Ruth. We went to visit a lady that Lucky had tried to take us to while she was here, but could not find at home. The lady was very sweet. After talking a few minutes I tried to choose a few verses to read based on what she shared. That is a challenge, but we ended with a small devotional. I asked if I could come back with Dwaine and Bessi for another visit and she said we could. She isn’t a Christian, so maybe that will be an open door. Along the way, we ran into a wedding party. As we turned to cut across the coffee fields, we ran into the groom and preacher awaiting their entrance. That seemed so ‘out of place,’ but it was fun to see. On our way to Juayua, we passed the bride and groom in their full dress walking along the road. That seemed out of place too, but a beautiful sight.
