Followup.  At 9 this morning, Carlos, Dwaine, Lucky and I went to the first area that the Springhill, TN had worked.  We wanted to followup on some of the people we had met and also to let Carlos know where he could find the homes of the contacts.  First we went to some of the homes of Dwaine’s studies.  The first revealed a sad situation.  Dwaine and his group had visited a family early on.  On his second visit a little boy, about 8ish had broken his arm.  That was back at the end of April.  It is now June 16^th and the boy has not had any medical care.  He has an appointment for mid-July.  How sad.  He had some use of the arm, but you could tell that there are some problems and they will probably be long term.  We studied and prayed with the family.  Dwaine gave the lady his Bible.  She said that when her mother had died her sister had gotten the family Bible, so she now has one.  We did learn that she couldn’t read, but she has a daughter that can read to her.  Then we went to Melvin’s home.  He was a young boy with much work and weight on his shoulders.  For one, some time back his father had committed suicide.  We encouraged him and prayed with him.  Then we found one home where Dwaine had studied with some girls.  They were not home, but the mother was home.  She invited us in for a study and prayer as well.  We went on to some of my contacts.  The first two ladies who had invited us in on the campaign were not home.  However, the family who were police in Ahuachapan had one person home who invited us in and we studied.  Lucky was taking some ladies to Sonsonate at 11:30 so we headed home.  We got back to the house just in time for her to leave.  We did get word from Cesar that the large room to rent would be $75 for the week.  We confirmed that we wanted it for our English classes.  Dwaine and I rested about an hour and then headed out to Shucutitian for some studies.  We first went by Bessy’s mom to leave her a note for Bessy.  We visited there for a few minutes and then on to Reina’s home.  She had a visitor, so we did not stay to long.  We headed on to Natividad’s home and she was walking a little better, praise God.  She could at least move about in her home.  We had a good study with her and we talked about baptism.  She can hardly make it down the mountain, so we are going to be in search of a children’s inflatable pool to have on hand.  We studied for quite a while and we are in prayer for her concerns.  Then we went on to Teresa’s.  This is Osmin’s mother from church.  She was not home.  So, we came home for an hour and then headed to Zoila’s for a study.  It was good that Mirdna came.  Natividad is Mirdna’s mom and we are praying that Mirdna will be a great influence on her.  There is so much to do and so little time. 

Wondering what is in this picture.  Well, butterflies!

I can see two, but there were more, I just wasn't quick enough.
