ScienceJ! Noé had invited us to come to Turin and teach
a class and then go visiting with him on some of his studies. School is in vacation time here. A lady from Turin, Darlene, works with a
program in the States called Helping Hands.
Each summer break, she puts together a five day program of classes for
the children. Earlier in the week she
had put together classes for several subjects.
Lizbeth, from Juayua had gone on Thursday to teach math. Friday was my turn. It was a three hour session with 25
elementary children. I have now accumulated
several illustrations, so the prep was as bad as some. What I remember from science club is that the
children sure like to eat. So I typically
had a demo or experiment and then an edible model to make to eat. They all loved that part. We did everything from atoms, states of
matter, acids and bases to fire, of course, to cells. Needless to say, I didn’t get to everything,
but I enjoyed it. Nowadays, I usually
use my science demos as an object lesson for a Bible class, so I did a
mix. I enjoyed the morning and hope the
children did. Afterwards we drove back
to Ahuachapán for lunch. Noé asked if
Subway was good and I said I didn’t know Ahuachapán had a Subway. He said it had only opened three weeks
earlier. What luck! It was great.
Betty, Noé’s wife, met us for lunch and then we went on to their house
for it was still lunch time. At 2 we
headed back to Turin again, about 10 to 15 minutes away to have two
studies. We met with a neighbor of a
sister and studied with her. Then we
went to a lady with two sons for a study.
One of the sons, of 14 years of age had done all 11 Bible studies on ‘Que
Dice La Biblia.’ That is a very involved
study with homework. I was
impressed. Then we went back to the
church so Noé could meet people for a five o’clock study. We headed back for Juayua and passed a huge
hay cart with oxen. We stopped for a
photo opt. Going through Ahuachapán we
stopped at Selectos…what a surprise.
Juayua has been out of disinfectant for veggies for a while, so I really
needed this. Selectos was next to a
furniture store and they had a big crowd!
Why? Black Friday! They don’t have Thanksgiving here, but they
do have Black Friday. We had heard it
was mostly in San Salvador, but alas, here it was close to us. We did go in and look and they certainly had
some sales. We saw a few things we
liked, but we didn’t purchase anything.
When we move we think we will need a couple of things, but we are
waiting to see what our new landlord will leave in the house. It was a busy day, but it was good to spend a
little time with some friends.
Yes, it reads 10 miles....the distance left in our gas tank before 'E!'

Well decorated.
Colors were so pretty coming home, but it is hard to get a view in a moving vehicle.
