Thursday we had the Melgar family in our home from Wednesday.  As they, headed out, Dwaine caught a ride to Ahuachapan to see if he could pick up the car.  Unfortunately there was a national holiday, Day of Peace, and the garage was closed.  We have been without a car the whole week and looks like it might be longer.  Hopefully, we will get it back before the weekend.  They did point out some directions of some locations that will be helpful in the future.  Dwaine caught the bus back to Ataco and we headed out for a couple of studies.  First we met with Reina.  She was gracious as always.  We are going to continue studying ‘Que Dice La Biblia?’ with her and it has lots of information yet to go.  Next, we headed out to Katherine’s, but it was about a 30 minute walk.  We stopped for a few minutes at Maritza’s home and visited.  She asked about Katherine’s parents, especially her dad.  Her mom has sat in on a study, but not her father.  He had once been in the church, but is not currently attending.  When we arrived, she was able to study because she was out of school.  After a few minutes, both her dad and brother sat in on the study!  What a blessing.  I was doing on study on Mark 7 and the chapter had lots of good information to share.  Afterwards, Dwaine visited with him some and I talked to Katherine about joining the teen girls on a spend-the-night at our home next week.  She probably will not be able to attend since she keeps her younger brother, but she might be able to come to part of it.  We headed home after this study and arrived about 5:30.  Of course we rode the bus home.  We passed a man and son in the street walking from the bus who were native, but from Texas currently.  They are just here visiting family.  For the evening we had Bryan over.  He enjoyed some chicken and rice and I sent him home with some cookies.  It is a blessing to be able to help him a little with some food.  He is a very gracious young man.
