January 25, 2016

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.
