November 1, 2015

Last Sunday at Schucutitan.  Charlotte got up early to start working on lunch since it had to be ready when we got back from services.  I got up at 6 to start helping her.  We got off a little later than we would have preferred but got there during the opening prayer.  Hector was preaching in Izalco so Carlos preached and Paulo led singing.  During the announcements, I gave a short talk about our changing to a morning service in Juayúa in November and that because next Sunday would be the big area meeting this was probably our last time to be at Schucutitan for a while.  After I spoke Carlos had some very kind remarks about our time with the Ataco church and we got lots of hugs and best wishes during the recess.  After services we walked back down the road to the car.  It sure was hard to think that we were making our last trip down that road at least for some while.  Probably the Ataco family will be moved to their new location before we visit there again so it will be really different.  When we got back to the car we waited for Isabella's husband Guillermo (William) to arrive since he had decided to come with them so he could bring them back home.  When he arrived there were 4 adults and several kids from the congregation waiting for the bus and since they were going in our direction he had them all pile in his small SUV.  It was amazing how they all managed to fit in.  When we got to our house we got to meet him and this was the first time I had really talked to him since he does not attend services.  We had a wonderful meal as always and really enjoyed our visit.  The 3 kids had a great time playing with Wicket with frequent squeals of laughter as they played fetch and tug of war.  After Bessie, Isabella and kids left Paulo stayed on for a while and helped us change our internet password to make it harder for people here to pirate our service.  At about 3:30 I took him to the bus stop and ran back and rested for about 30 minutes before services.   After the service we worked out how many people were going on Saturday to the family seminar and on Sunday to the area wide gathering.  We decided we could get by with our car and Cesar's for Saturday and needed to rent a micro bus at least for Sunday.  We also set the time to meet each day to leave.
