We had our group meeting this week at the home of Ricardo and Yoli because we were concerned there might be noise near our house again.  The only really big decision that we made was to try to incorporate the quarterly area wide family seminar for the 2^nd quarter into the visit of our team from Central in July.  We had at first planned to only have a smaller scale Saturday event and invite some of the churches in the area but during the preacher's meeting on Friday Hector had suggested the idea of that being the area wide event.  During the meeting, I said that was not what I had been discussing with Rodney and not what we were thinking about at first because we wanted the event to be in Juayua and were not sure if we had a facility big enough.  We decided that the main common house (community center) would be big enough and that it would be a good way to show that Juayua and Salcoatitan were involved in the area work and not just local.  Anyway, we first have to make sure we can use the common house and then get the topic set and find one or more speakers from those who are planning to come.  We also decided to change our meeting day to Tuesdays and everyone is going to somewhat try to have Mondays as a rest day though we all laughed at the idea of really having a day off.  The last decision we made was that starting next week we would have our meeting one week in the church building at Salcoatitan and the next one at the new location here in Juayua.  Because we had decided on Sunday to help Carlos and Linda with their move to Salcoatitan on Tuesday, Charlotte by cooking and taking lunch and me by lifting furniture, we went to Selectos for a large haul and spent the afternoon cooking.
