Beautiful Feet: April 7, 2015

Visiting all day. While we were eating breakfast yesterday Edgardo came by for the first time in a couple of weeks. We had told him at services Sunday that we had not seen him lately. We gave him coffee and some sweets Charlotte had made and after a good conversation he asked us to go with him to do some morning visiting. He said we would be back by 10:30 so that worked out for us because we were expecting Kathrine for lunch. The first couple we visited had been baptized during the campaign by the group from Guatemala last summer but had not been coming to services. Edgardo spoke pretty strongly to them but they did not say much and we did not either in that study. Then as we walked down the road we saw a large, unusual squirrel in a cage on a front porch. The lady saw us looking at it and invited us in. She and her 82 yr. old mother sat and visited with us awhile and then we had a short study and invited them to the Friday 6:00 gathering that is held in that area every week. Then Edgardo walked with us up to see one of the buildings the church is considering buying for a meeting place. There was room for further growth but the building and roof were in really bad shape and needed a lot of work. Then we went to the market for a few items and came home and got ready for lunch. Kathrine was supposed to come about 12:30 but didn’t make it so we ate close to 1:00 had a really short rest and headed out for the afternoon studies. Bessy and her mother had wanted us to try some more traditional foods with them so we went and studied with Sister Reina (it still sounds so good to be able to say that) then we went back to Bessy’s house and had so delicious hoagie style sandwiches and visited about an hour. Stephanie was in Santa Ana with her twin sister so we did not get to study with her. Then we ran back by home because it is not very far and had about 45 minutes to skype with baby Charlotte while she was awake. She is almost always asleep when we skype at night. Then we went back out to the Tuesday evening Bible group at Zoila’s. Carlos led as usual and as usual did a great job. It was on Ruth and there were some really great comments as well. By the time we got home and skyped with a couple of the kids we were pretty worn out but it had been a great day. Monday we got my birthday card from the family in the mail and also a letter Lauren Hilbert so the address worked and we welcome any snail mail or e-mail you may have time to send.
