Another Sunday.  This morning by the time I got up at 6:20 Charlotte was already cooking away.  But, alas the gas tank ran out.  I got ready and ran out about 8 to get a refill.  I had to pick up a couple of items from Selectos so I had to wait for them to open and then had to wait while they moved all their buggies back outside.  About 9 we rode over to the house of our new landlord.  We had walked by with Wicket yesterday morning and she was having a small yard sale.  She had a 22” Gateway Monitor and we decided to get it to use at home for Netflix programs and movies as well as for the film presentations we are doing in our home on Bible history for our current landlord and also for Kelly and her kids.  Caleb had said that the bulb for the projector is very expensive and we thought we might be able to use it less with the monitor.  Anyway Charlotte had asked if she had any pots and pans and she said to come back this morning.  While Charlotte looked through her selection I walked around to the copy store.  Charlotte had put the template for the graduation certificates on a jump drive and we wanted to get those printed out as well as some more materials for the English class tomorrow.  When I got back she had picked out one oval pan, one heavy boiler with a lid and a very large pot with a clear lid.  I told her any money we spent on cooking items had to be a good investment considering how much she cooks here.  The service was good.  Mr. Rivas went and this was his first Sunday service.  I had asked Ricardo to do the Lord's Supper this morning since we were pressed for time and I did not have a chance to prepare.  He did a great job talking about his background and how he had even once considered becoming a priest in the Catholic church.  He also brought our new podium that had been made by a brother near Santa Ana.  It was nice and I know we will get a lot of use out of it. On our way home we picked up the graduation certificates from the copier store and they looked really good.  We just have to get them signed and they will be ready.  After lunch we both had a rest then I walked to town to get some other copies made and to take Wicket out since we had to skip this morning.  When I got back Charlotte and I went out to give out invitations and we covered a good bit of area.  We are going to be really busy next week and the breakfast event is just a week from tomorrow morning.  About half way through we realized we needed to be sure to mention it was free breakfast.  When we got home we got to skype a good while with Caleb and Della and got some fun Charlotte time.
