Beautiful Feet: December 9, 2015

Day of blessings. It is amazing when we can open God’s Word and share with people. This was one of those days. First, we had our regular studies, expect that Mr. Rivas was out. As we were going to Julia’s we realized we meant to go to a new area first. We had passed by on Saturday and scheduled a study for Wednesday morning. When we arrived in the area, the scheduled study, Wendy, was busy, so we went next door to Reina’s. I had one previous study with her with Zuleyma, but she had been out on Saturday. Reina had stayed home from working in the coffee fields to watch her grandchildren today. Cesar asked if I would like to lead the study, since I had done the first one. So, we studied Acts 8 about Philip and the Eunuch. It went well and she said that we could come back for further studies. When we finished, Wendy was available, so we stopped by for a study with her. She also said that we could return again. Wendy is expecting her first child in February. It is exciting to see her desire to study God’s Word. She does not have a Bible, so we told her we would bring one Saturday for another study. On our way down from the community, we passed a lady with young children. She stopped us to ask when we would have another event. She had visited our community event and was looking for another time together. We told her our next date and said we would drop by when we had a place confirmed. For lunch, we all came back to our house. Eliza was out of town, so Cesar ate with us, along with Arnoldo. After lunch we headed for our visit with Ana. This was a special visit because she had told us that she had trouble seeing her Bible. She owns glasses and can read, so Dwaine and I had ran across a large print Bible in San Salvador last week. I wrote a dedication and we presented it. It is a little heavy to hold because of her arthritis, but it was easy to lay in her lap. She read some of the verses with us. What a blessing! Next we went to visit with Sara and Mario. Mario was home, but Sara was working in the coffee fields. Mario was watching their little girl while she was working. We talked with him about all the changes in their lives and he was eager to keep studying. This week was Sara’s long day at the field, so they would not be able to visit the Wednesday study. Afterwards, we went by the Mayor’s office to see if we could reserve the community center closest to our area for our next event on Monday, the 21^st for a breakfast for ladies. The lady said that it was open, but we needed to bring a letter by requesting the need. So Cesar said he would type that up and they could drop it by the next morning. We had stopped by Kelly’s to see if she could come to service, but she had a dinner with Nicole and doubted it would be done. We headed home to check if she was back, but she was not. After a short time, we headed to the service and we covered the five love languages in our marriage class. We only have one more class in this series. After class, Raul had brought a birthday cake for Ana. He had wanted to surprise her on her actual birthday with a cake. It was such a great time of fellowship. On the way home, we drove by the park and took some photos of all the Christmas lights. It was really pretty at night. When we got home, we realized we had not eaten dinner before the ‘cake.’ So we ate light. It remains a challenge to get the preparations for the English classes. So, I stayed up to midnight working on this project.
