You can't do that here. This
morning Cesar and I went to the bank to get some money from the church account
to pay the deposit and 1st month rent for our new location for the
church. There was a very long line but
Cesar had Abby with him and he was told to go to the front of the line and
since he could not do anything without my signature also I joined him and we
got through in no time at all. Then I
went around the corner to our new landlord and paid our Jan rent early so I
could get the keys and we could start moving smaller items over in our
car. Next I went by the Claro office in
Juayua to tell them we were ready to move our internet to the new house. But even though a couple of weeks earlier I thought
I understood them to say we could get that done here they said I would have to
go to Sonsonate to the main office for that.
Charlotte was in a meeting with Eliza working more on preparing for a
ladies class in Jan. so I went by a barber shop and got a $1 haircut. It was my first hair cut by anyone else but
Charlotte since we went to China in '92!
It wasn't too bad but she said she will probably try to start back the
next time I need one. I considered going
to Sonsonate in the bus but when I called Charlotte to tell her she said Cesar
said he had to pay some bills there and would go with me in their car. During
lunch Charlotte asked me to go to the little store near our house and get some mayonnaise
that she needed to finish making dinner.
The lady at the store said she had heard that we were about to start
church services in this area and that she would come to visit when we did. After lunch Cesar came by with Eliza and Abby
to go to Sonsonate. As we were going out
of town we saw Mr. Rivas walking beside the road and gave him a ride to
Salcoatitan. He said he had been busy
lately but wanted to get back to attending services. When I got to Claro I had to wait a long time
for my turn but no problems once I got up to the desk. When I got home Charlotte said the internet
had been off all afternoon and she thought they had already cut it off to move
it but it came back on about 5. I helped
Charlotte finish getting dinner ready for Wendy and Oscar. Charlotte has had three really good studies
with Wendy who was one of our contacts from the event in November and I had
gone to try to study with Oscar but he was always working. When I went by to pick them up at 5:30 only
she was waiting and I was afraid he was not coming again but he arrived about 7
and we had just set down to eat. After
dinner we had a good Bible study and he said he really was interested. She is only 16 and he is 27 and they are
expecting a baby in Feb. They said they
want to get married but are really poor.
We said afterwards that maybe our ministry here just has to include
helping people get married. One funny
note was that while we were visiting with Wendy and waiting for Oscar she asked
if we had problems with being bored. We
laughed pretty hard about that one but she said she was home all day because of
her condition and often felt bored. We
could understand her situation but could sure not imagine being bored. We just keep hoping when we get through with the
move we will be able to rest a little more.
Not much on photos...this is the bar that is being removed
in the new church location to give one large open room for seating.
