January 26, 2016

Time?  We had invited Don Santos, Sonja and Jimmy for dinner along with our study, but the day was packed full, so I was uncertain how the meal was going to come together.  Early, before heading out, I cooked some breakfast bars for our weekly meeting with the Juayua-Salcoatitan group.  I also cooked some cheesecake for the evening meal and one loaf of carrot bread for bread and coffee on Saturday. Once the sweets are made, I feel like I can move forward.  Our meeting was scheduled for 9 and our building.  We met first last week in Salcoatitan because we did not have electricity.  Things were in place this week.  Some ticket items were preacher’s meeting is set for February in Salcoatitan, ladies class is set for February 6 in Juayua, teen events in both cities in February and some outreach scheduled for Santa Telca.  Santa Telca is near San Salvador and especially Ricardo and Yoli have worked in this area for some time and I have helped with one ladies’ class.  Hopefully, there will still be continued contact and work among the congregations.  It is a busy time and each congregation is additionally working on their own individual events.  After the meeting during lunch, Dwaine and I both worked on some of the dinner menu items.  At 2 I picked up Seyli and Eliza for a study with Sonja, Ana’s daughter.  While the study went well, they were preparing tamales outside the door and smoke poured in the whole time.  It was almost overwhelming and everyone was coughing and wiping tear filled eyes.  Socorro’s study was set for 3:30 and I was able to connect with her about 3:40.  Dwaine went by the church building to have everything prepared for Wednesday night’s class.  Next, we met back at our house to finish cooking.  Dwaine had plugged in some crock pots and with his help, we got everything done by the time they arrived about 6:15.  Dwaine led a study and Don Santos asked several questions.  We ate afterwards and the meal turned out nice.  Most everything I cooked was a new recipe, so I was uncertain.  I sure am thankful for the internet so I can keep some fresh ideas going.  They left about 9 and promised to bring some pizza for dinner for next week’s study.  

Is it a stick-up....no, Cesar just has a cold!
