Beautiful Feet: May 24, 2015

New Sister! Yes, we started early this day with a ton of cooking before church. I cooked red beans and rice for the teen girls because one only eats, rice, chicken and frijoles. So, I cooked a huge bowl for her and the other girls. Then, Rosalidia is still sick in Juayua, so I cooked the same for her family as well. Then, one of the young girls was turning 8 today in Juayua, so I cooked a big batch of cupcakes. That was a lot to get done before church. When we arrived the group from Franklin was there and it was great to see such a full house. It is a bit strange living here when someone else is visiting. Everyone went up on stage and introduced themselves. There are about 15 and it is such a blessing to see so many young and old, first timer’s and ole timer’s visiting. Many veterans asked about Caleb and Della, so we bragged on them and little Charlotte. I sat toward the back, so I could see that Mirdna was visiting. As soon as the recess came, I ran to visit with her and welcome her. She is Natividad’s daughter, who had gone with us to the doctor in Santa Ana. When we had made that trip at the end of April, I had asked if we could study on our way back home. They said yes. So, we had stopped by several times and I was able to start a study with her. Last week when we went, Mirdna was working, so we missed her. So, after church, she decided to be baptized! What a blessing! I know that Edgardo had been going by and studying and it was great to see his work to come to fruition. He is hard worker for the Lord. She was baptized at the pool in Ataco, so Bessy stayed with the teen girls and we went to the baptism. It was great to see a new birth. We are scheduled to go with her mother back to the doctor this Thursday. We went home afterwards for a little rest and then off to Juayua. Bessy and Isabel had visited a few weeks ago along with Bessy’s daughter of 4 years and Isabel’s two grandchildren. They had really liked the children’s class, so they wanted to come back. So we stopped and picked them up along the way. We had one visitor at the service, and it was good to have Rosalidia at service. The little girl who turned 8 today did not come. Her brother has been really sick with amoebas, so I think that is why they missed. Sister Regina said she would get the cupcakes to her tomorrow. That wrapped up a great day along with skyping a couple of the kids!
