Second resting Monday. This
morning Charlotte wanted to try back to visit a lady named Floramarina who
works at a small tortilla stand in front of the garage where we had our car bumpers
repaired. We had gone by earlier this
week but she was not there. This morning
she was in so after Charlotte had sat down in her house I walked up the street
to our old house to ask Bro. Mario Lara if he wanted to teach either the
Wednesday night or Thursday night classes this week. He said he would do Thursday night which will
be at our house this time. Charlotte
came on up pretty soon because the lady had said she had too much to do today
so they just had a short visit and set an appointment for later in the
week. Then we walked over to Celia's
and she was washing clothes but said she always had time to study the
Bible. We had a good study and by the
time we finished it was after 11 and people here don't like to study that close
to lunch. We decided to run on to
Selectos because we needed to get some items for having Don Santos and family
over Tuesday night for dinner and Charlotte wanted to start working on getting
some of it ready. After we got
everything and I was waiting to check out she said she would walk on over to
the Family Dispensa to look for a couple of more items. When I got the bill it was $91 and it did not
seem we had that much at all. As I
started to leave the store one of my bags slipped out of my hand and a large
jar of taco sauce broke and got all over everything else in the bag. After cleaning it up and getting the other
items into another bag I took everything to the car and then had to go back
through and get another taco sauce. I
looked at the bill and discovered Charlotte had picked up a large container of Parmesan
cheese that cost almost $18.00! Hope it
goes a long way. She said she would not
have gotten it if she had known it was so expensive but it had not price marked
on it. Just before lunch, we got a call from Rachel. They had some friends visiting from the
States and they wanted directions to the church building so that they could
drive by both Salcoatitan and Juayua churches.
We told them, we could drive to the building and meet them so that they
could see the inside. The group was working in Honduras, but were in El Salvador for the day. There was one lady from Fayetteville, TN and
she had met Caleb, Della and Charlotte in Fayetteville while they were visiting
with the McCauley’s. In all, there were
5 visitors and one couple was from Gainesville, FL. It was short, but a nice visit. After lunch
Charlotte spent most of the afternoon helping Leanna with her Physics
homework. I didn't do that much other
than washing a ton of dishes, washed Wicket and spent an hour cutting her hair
after she was dry, spent quite a while cutting a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood with a
hand saw so we could block our bathroom door to keep Wicket out when we are not
at home and then at 5 I picked up Bro. Jose Manuel and we went to the new
meeting place for the church and spent 2 hrs. getting a plug installed so that
we could use our dryer there to at least dry shirts and blouses once each
week. I had suggested we just run it
direct from the circuit box in the garage because that is where I wanted to use
the dryer but he said it would be better if we used a wall outlet near the
garage. After about 1 ½ hrs. he finally
decided the wall outlet was only 110 and we ended up running out of the circuit
box after all which only took about 20 minutes and worked great. Well, at least we now have access to the
dryer for some things and if we need it when the rainy season starts back. We had considered having 220 put in the house
we moved to but found out that was going to cost about $250. Bro. Jose said he thought $3 was enough for
his work so I gave him $10 and he asked if I wanted the change back and I assured
him I did not. We spent the rest of the
evening after dinner catching up on blogs but as you can see we did this one on
Wednesday night and sent it out Thursday.
Stateside visitors to see the church.
Wow, who knew....$18 for 24 ounces parmesan cheese!
Wicket, cleaned and cut!
