Beautiful Feet: April 10, 2015

Yesterday was another 2^nd Friday. Time for another monthly preacher’s meeting. Amazing how quickly a monthly meeting rolls around. At least this time it was in a town that was accessible by good roads. It was also about half way from our house toward Santa Ana so we asked Cesar if he might be able to make a day of it and go on for our driver’s licenses and car registration after the meeting. After going to the first meeting Charlotte had missed the one last month because she was a little uncertain to go since she was the only lady attending. Several people had asked about her last time and because we decided we would try for our licenses since we were that far it was a good excuse for her to go again. Carlos, who hardly ever speaks so the meetings were so long, had encouraged Charlotte to go. So, she told him that he didn't see her that and that she didn't hear him make several comment. Charlotte had started planning a teacher’s training session with Rachel and Linda so Hector asked her to speak about that at the meeting. She gave some information and then Hector added about how talented she was in teaching and speaking and how everyone needed to take advantage of this opportunity. When we were in the car on the way to Santa Ana we joked that with 2 guys and a lady in the car, the lady spoke by far the most of us three. None of us may have spoken much but somebody did. The meeting started at 9 and was supposed to end at noon but went on until 1:00. The plastic chairs were really uncomfortable that last hour. One brother really went on and on and finally another brother said we had been meeting for 3 hours and were all tired and hungry. When we stood at the end I was almost unable to stand up. I asked the brother what meeting he was in that lasted 3 hours the one I was in lasted 4. We requested that next month’s meeting be in Juayua and then in the afternoon all those who could, might stay and take part in passing out literature. So that means that Charlotte, Eliza and Regina, with what help we can give them, gets to cook for about 30 people. Then we had lunch and went on to Santa Ana. That took about 1 ½ hrs. but went smoothly. We now have shiny new licenses that are good for 5 yrs. Even though our visas have to be renewed yearly. We did have to do the eye exam and that was pretty funny, but ended up ok. Then we went to the Super Selectos in the mall at Santa Ana because it is really big and Charlotte spent some time looking for things she had not been able to find in other places. A lady had recognized her from the seminar that she gave last year in Ahuachapan and they talked for a bit. Then we treated ourselves to the Burger King next door (at least I did because lunch was a little small) and we headed home. We got home early enough to have some baby Charlotte time and to visit with Christina too.
