Dry
Sunday. We had invited Arnoldo and Kenia
to go with us to the morning service at Shucutitan. I headed out to pick them up at 8:10. It was a beautiful morning and I said that after
they got in the car. Kenia said it was
clothes drying weather. We know what she
means. Friday we hung out a wash load of
pants thinking it might not rain and the rain began 10 to 15 minutes later and
continued for a while. They did dry on
Saturday morning. We have missed having
our dryer but we are near the beginning of the dry season which last several
months. We hope to be able to have the
dryer working in the next house but there are very few people who use clothes
dryers here and so almost no homes have 220.
On Friday night when they came for dinner, Omar had mentioned a house
that he knew about that was to be vacated at the end of November because the
people living there had already found another place to live and were just
finishing out their contract. We drove
by it with them on Saturday afternoon after English class. It is in a great location probably in the
best part of Juayua and has two stories and a garage. It is hard to tell from the outside what it
is like but he is going to talk with the owner and see if we can get to look at
the inside since the family living there already plans to move. There is a store in the front room of the
house which is very common here and the door was open when we drove by so we
could see inside and Charlotte said the room would have to be repainted because
it was lime green. I told her that was
where my color blindness was a blessing, it looked just fine to me. Anyway, we enjoyed the service at
Shucutitan. It was sunny as we got out
of the car but Charlotte asked if we should take an umbrella with us and I said
I did not think so. During the second
hour of the service it clouded up and rained a very little bit but had stopped
by the time service ended and we did not get wet at all walking back to the
car. Arnoldo and Kenia stayed at our
home for lunch and we just had leftovers from all our company this past
week. Dwaine took them home after
lunch. Afterwards, Charlotte worked on
Sunday school crafts and we rested a little before the evening service. Unfortunately, Kelly and Jose were not able
to come or Julia, but we did have a full house.
There were probably 8 children and around 15ish adults. It was a good evening.
Passed a wreck.
Another overturned taxi.
Jimi and his new dog, a Shar Pei
Our landlord and his son....they came to dinner last week,
but I forgot to take a picture. So, we passed them on the street and visited a few minutes.
Chlidren's class...found some corn husks for the story on the Prodical Son.
The chocolate pudding was edible, at least:)
