August 12, 2015

Juayua.  We leave out for Juayua about 9:30ish on Wednesday and we are always cooking, cleaning, preparing and rushing from the moment we get up to departure.  This was no exception.  We got off about 9:40 and when we arrived, Cesar said he had a new contact that he wanted to visit first.  We headed across town and the lady was home, but something had come up and she was unable to study this week.  Next, we went to Mr. Rivas, but his family said that he would be out until Saturday.  Next, we studied with Julia.  She had lots of comments and a few questions, so it was a good study.  She said she would try to come to the service at 5.  I had cooked a big pot to soup earlier in the week, so I took some to share with Cesar and Eliza for lunch.  We rested a few minutes and then headed out to the Mayor’s office.  We wanted to get information on marriage for Kelly and José so they could make their plans.  The costs was reasonable and they said they could do the ceremony anywhere in town for just a little more.  We wanted to take this by Kelly and José’s so we went in that direction.  At first, only José was home.  He looked the information over and said it should be easy to accomplish.  Then, Kelly arrived and she was happy with our finds as well.  She had been sewing uniforms for girls for activities on Independence Day, 15th of September.  The girls arrived and each one had to try on their outfits for alterations.  Two let me take their picture, but they weren’t too excited about it.  They were busy for the evening, so would not be able to come.  Next, we went to Omar, Gisela’s and Emile’s. We do about half the time studying English and about half the time doing a Bible study.  It is nice to have the large group.  Dwaine studies with Omar and I work with the girls.  Last for the day was the service.  Julie did not come, but Nelson and his daughter came.  Also, our visitor, Ana came with her daughter.  It was a full day.  It seems strange to be working to turn all the studies and activities over for a month.  There is much to wrap up.

Sister Ana has a new bunny.  I wouldn't call it a pet,
since it will be dinner one day.
