July 23, 2015

House full.  We were expecting Company about 10.  The first crew to come was Paolo and Xochil to play games with Clifton.  They actually arrived about 11.  The second crew expected was Fernando, Liseth, Fernando and Fernanda along with Wendy, Deborah and Eva. We were thinking about 12, but it was closer to 11.  Eva arrived in time to help me turn pupusas.  I was trying out my new cooking skills with company.  Really, I had so much filling left from Tuesday, I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I added pupusas to the menu.  They were a great hit.  I so enjoyed Liseth and Wendy.  While all the young folks and Fernando went upstairs, I visited with the ladies.  Clifton told Wendy that he had a list of people that he wanted to see before leaving El Salvador.  Since he saw her, his list was complete.  They are such an encouraging family.  Then a funny thing happened.  We left before our company departed.  Dwaine and I had a study scheduled with Natividad with Edgardo at 3:30.  Everyone made plans to stay until time to leave for their own Bible study in Ahuachapan at 4.  Clifton wanted to stay home with the group, so we said our good-byes and departed.  It was really foggy and that means rain is coming.  We thought we could get in our study before that happened, but alas that was wishful thinking.  Edgardo was out, so we went on.  We had a good study in I John and then told them I had been cooking pupusas all week.  They were excited and said I must try some additional ingredients.  They sent us on our way with plantains and three types of plants to put in the pupusas.  I actually have no more corn meal remaining, but I will have to cook a few more because they were so kind.  I will also have to drop by some pupusas for them too.  It was slippery going back down the mountain, so I was moving slow.  About half way down, one of the boys came dashing by us.  I really don’t know how he didn’t go slip sliding by.  When we got in the car, the fog was really thick.  We have to park on a curve, so we must be quick to pull out.  But, then, just as Dwaine got out in the middle of the curve on the road, he stopped to turn on some music!  Yikes!  Fortunately, no one rounded the corner at that moment.  But the fog was so thick, people we saw had lights and flashers on.  Thankfully we made it home.  Just after we got home, the rain started coming down really heavy, so we called it a night. 


Paolo won again!
