June 29, 2015

Rainy days and Mondays and an unexpected visitor.  The man who had interviewed Charlotte at immigration said he would come this week.  We expected he might call today to set up a day and time.  He did call.  At 8:30 he called to say he was already in Ataco and trying to find our house.  Talk about scrambling.  Fortunately, we did not really have any morning plans.  He arrived and talked at the house for about another hour.  He asked for any kinds of receipts we had where we had bought things here.  We were able to find only a few.  We told Caleb we bet he could have found a receipt for everything he had bought since he got here.  He said he still had them!!  Then the man wanted to go to see the building where the Ataco church meets.  Fortunately Bro. Faustus who has the key and lives nearby was home.  He let us in and the man took some pictures.  Then Bro. Faustus took about half an hour telling the history of how that building was built and the street in front of it.  Then the man from immigration took even more time telling his life story.  He did get all the interview sheets we had asked people to write as well as doing one on Bro. Faustus.  He had said he wanted to interview some of the members himself but after all the time with Bro. Faustus he said he had to go on to another interview. He did request that we e-mail him a list of the names of the Ataco members.  We don't have a clue why since he will know none of them but with Carlos' help we sent that this morning.   We went back home and had lunch and rested some.  It started raining before noon and rained till about 3.  We had planned to go to Juayua to study with Raul and Anita but did not want to drive in the rain for just one study.  Fortunately, it stopped and cleared some and we decided to go on.  We only picked up Pedrito since Regina was at her grandbaby's house, wonder why.  Anyway, we went to the door where they usually let us into the neighborhood but no one came.  Charlotte tried to call Anita but got no answer.  About 5:10 we decided to drive around to the entrance gate and the man let us right in so we drove up to their house and they were home and expecting us.  Charlotte studied with Anita and Pedrito and I studied with Raul.  Both studies went well then we went by Selectos and headed home.  It had looked stormy again at 5 but cleared off and we had a smooth ride back.  Charlotte did say her mouth hurt all day.  We joked that it knew it was Monday since she has gone to the dentist the past 4 Mondays in a row.  We hope it is better soon.  Her UTI is still bothering her but as usual she just keeps on going. 


Time for a break.
