October 25, 2015


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.

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:)
