April 16, 2015

Study day.  Because we took Navidad to the hospital on Tuesday, we were a little behind on our local studies.  We started with a trip to Rachel’s to have a meeting for the upcoming children’s camp.  Her children had wanted to have an activity for their age group so they have planned an overnight camp the 1st and 2nd of May.  Dwaine and I are going to help with some of the drama, crafts, chaperoning, etc.  Afterwards, we went to Rosaria’s.  That was the best study!  A couple of weeks ago we asked what was her thoughts and she said she had the knowledge, but not the heart to make a decision.  Yesterday, she said her heart was softening, but she needed more knowledge!  What a blessing!  She has a Catholic background and we are working some of the doctrine.  But so much more…..we seem to meet her is so many places.  We met her walking along the road while we went to a study, we have met her at the lady’s home who is so sick and she went to the beach.  Friendship is so vital.  Rosaria is close friends with Reina, who was just baptized and they have become even closer since she has been coming to some activities.  It is amazing how the body is working together to bring her along.  Edgardo studied with her once and the teen girls go all along to visit her.  Lucky used to read the Bible to her when she was here.  What a blessing to work in a body that is so integrated in their efforts to reach the loss.  After we completed this study, we visited with Bessy and her mom and then Bessy went with us to Reina’s home for a study.  We tried to study with Stephanie, but she was preparing for the home owner to come.  Stephanie has been visiting the JW’s and has not been available to study for a few weeks.  We set a time for next week and will talk directly to her about their doctrine.  We pray that we will have this opportunity.  At the end of the day, we thought we would go by and visit with Navidad.  We made the climb to her home and she was doing better from Tuesday.  Rosaria had walked from her home some distance away to check on her too.  We talked for a while and had a prayer.  Her daughter walked us back to the road.  We got home a little earlier than usual, so we skyped everyone.  We listened to a sermon on the internet and I cooked.  I fixed a loaf of banana bread and cooked a yellow cake with chocolate cream cheese icing.  We thought Bryan was coming by for a visit, so I wanted to have something for him.  He didn’t make it, but we enjoyed the cake. At the end of the day we did get a skype message that Kenya's echocardiogram came back normal!  That was news for rejoicing!  We know she still has some health issues, but we are thankful that this major test was normal.

How is this for a spur on a rooster?
