Beautiful Feet: July 7, 2015

First day out. We headed out about 8 for Juayua. We stopped at Isabel’s to pick up some bread for lunch and then arrived at 8:30 to unload lunch and get ready for the class. Cesar arrived about 8:45 with the key and we worked quickly. I had fixed lunch for the group and that ended up being quite a challenge. While there were three outlets, there was only one outlet that worked, so Rodney ran up to a store and got a power strip. When everything was plugged in, it kept flipping the breaker, so it was a challenge. Students arrived and we had a small group for the morning with 5 students. We had one advanced student and Jim studied with him. About half the people headed out for morning door knocking. The first class ended about 11 and I got lunch finished up with lots of helpers. After lunch I took left over food to Sister Regina’s home so they could share that with her daughter who had just had a baby. We swapped groups for anyone who wanted to go door knocking and Jim went out with Cesar to study with people we had already been studying with. There were about 16 students for the afternoon English class. The group that planned to go to other cities worked on preparing their classes and I went out with Clifton, Eva and Fernando. We had a couple of contacts that will give us some follow-up to work on in the weeks to come. About 3:30 we headed back to English class so that we could go to dinner at 4. We are trying to have early dinners so the traveling group can eat. Afterwards, we headed to the evening service. John gave a great lesson on the wisdom of Solomon. He talked about how the queen of Sheba had traveled a great distance to see if the stories of Solomon’s wisdom were true. Then he asked what the wisdom of Solomon has to do with us and how Jesus referred to her and said that a greater one than Solomon was here and that true wisdom is to believe in an follow Jesus. Our English student Nelson who had come to the afternoon English class also came to the service and brought his daughter, Ruby, who loves the children’s classes. After services, Cesar said in front of Nelson that he would be a brother soon, he just smiled. We hope to start studying the Bible with him at least as soon as the campaign is over. I taught the children’s classes. Afterwards, we left for home and worked on getting ready for Wednesday.
