We got to Juayua around 10 as usual.  We are pretty much into a routine now.  Wednesday are our main days to work all day in Juayua.  We have some regular morning studies and if we still have time we knock some doors and hand out Bible study lessons and pamplets.  We had a good study with Julia and reconnected with one lady who had taken a lesson.  She said we could study but the only time she had was after 6:30 at night.  We will have to figure out a night to do that.  We had hoped that it might work out this night but in the end everything ran late as usual.  We did get to go by and spend a few minutes with Mr. Rivers.  We always pass in front of his house but he is never home but he was this morning.  We did not have a study but we did talk and pray and let him know we were thinking about him.  He is a nephew of one of the preachers here and we keep hoping he will come around.  On our way back to Cesar and Eliza’s house we met the family in the street that we have had two studies with.  They said they were going to be out this afternoon and we made an appointment to study with them Saturday at 3:30 after the English class.  We had planned to go out for lunch but Eliza had made lunch again.  It was good and we had a good fellowship.  Then we went to Sister Anna’s and had our weekly visit.  We were able to take her some groceries and that was good.  After that we had an appointment with a man who lives very near Regina’s house to have a study at 3:30 but something had come up and he had to go out.  As we were waiting for the 5:00 study the husband of Sister Rosalidia came and said she was very sick and wanted us to come to their house and pray for her.  We think she has chikungunya which is an extremely painful joint condition.  It is caused by a virus that is transmitted by mosquito bites.  It was clear she was in a lot of pain.  While we were in their house for prayer, Charlotte said she got two mosquito bites.  We will be praying that she doesn’t get it.  Then we went back over to Regina’s for the Bible study and children’s class.  Anita had come with her two children and Sister Rosalidia’s husband came back with their 2 children so Charlotte had a good class and we had a good study on the organization of the church.
