Beautiful Feet: June 3, 2015

Unexpected present. You have to be careful what messages you unintentionally send out. When we went to immigration for our renewal recently and then to the dentist for the first time for Charlotte we had some time to kill in between. So when we were at the mall I said maybe we could walk over to the place where the people had puppies for sale on the street. We had not really planned to get one but I had gone with Carlos when we were killing time while the ladies were visiting the baby at the hospital a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, I guess that Cesar got the idea we were ready for a dog even though we had planned to wait until we moved to Juayua because there is no yard here and the dog would be alone a lot as we are out so much. Anyway, there was a note on our computer that Cesar had a small dog for us to look at. We could not believe it, but when we got to Juayua at 10 it was true. Someone in San Salvador had it and he said it was free but if we did not want it we could send it back with Osvaldo. We left it in Cesar's bathroom and headed out to our contacts. Mr. Rivers was standing outside his door and invited us in so we had a visit and a short study with him. By the time we finished it was almost 12 so people were getting ready for lunch. We went by and made a couple of other short contacts and told them we were sorry it was so late and would come back next week. Then we went over to the outdoor buffet place for lunch. It was 12:30and they did not have much left but we got by. We had some time to kill so we decided we would walk around some. The reptile exhibit was open so we went in there. Then we went on to Sister Regina's and she and Pedro went with us to visit Sister Ana. While we were there it started raining. We had walked because there were too many of us for the car. So Caleb, Pedrito, Cesar and I headed back in the rain and got pretty wet. When we got to the car, Cesar went back over for the ladies while Caleb and I waited at Regina's. Then we rode over for our study with the family who makes the coffee. The man was next door working but ran home in the rain to meet us. He said we could visit but that his wife was at work. We decided not to study because she was not home. Then she arrived before too long and we decided to go ahead. The study went great and they asked us to come back Saturday also. The man had caught a snake and had it in a sack. He was hoping to sell it to the Reptile exhibit. After the study we went back to Regina's for the 5:00 Bible class and Charlotte taught the children's class. Then we dropped Cesar off at his house and picked up the dog. We had decided to try her overnight. Then we stopped at Recardo and Joli's house for dinner. They had lasagna and was really delicious. Carlos and Linda and their girls also came and we had a great time. It started raining hard again so we tried to wait it out and finally decided to go after it slacked some because it was getting so late. Caleb drove and Charlotte and I sat in the back with the puppy. When we got home we were really tired so we went to bed pretty soon. The puppy cried when we left her in the garage, so we decided that we would put her in our room. She stayed quiet all night, staying mostly in her box.
