Great Wednesday.  We were trying to get off early enough so that we could fit everything in.  Wednesday morning has always been a busy time.  Dwaine went out with Cesar to visit Delmy and Mr. Rivas.  Delmy wasn’t there, but there was lots of family at home.  While they didn’t study, they gave out lots of invites for the services.  They walked on to Mr. Rivas.  He wasn’t at home as well. However, Mr. Rivas’ aunt was home and his grandmother.  His grandmother, Amelia, has come to the ladies’ events and she has set in on the last several studies that they have had.  It was exciting to get going with these ladies.  Seyli and I went to visit with Wendy.  I took some clothes that Kelly had sent and some food I had made this morning.  Seyli also took some gifts.  We talked some and they, Sandra and Wendy, wanted to wait until next week to start back studying.  Reina was not home, so I told her granddaughter we would come back Thursday afternoon.  Then, we headed to Alba’s.  We had a long study about identifying the true church.  She goes to the church of Josue.  She always has lots of questions and comments, but typically comes just to our ladies’ events.  Her daughter, who is 10 or 11, asked if we could come in the afternoons because she has school in the morning.  Seyli and I are hoping to have a luncheon with Kelly and Alba and bake some bread together next week.  We keep look for ways to build relationships.  Afterwards, we connected with Cesar and Dwaine and wrapped up our morning activities.  On the way home, we saw that one store had a big display of stuffed animals for a quarter each.  So, we stopped and Dwaine got $2 worth of animals for Wicket.  She loves to chase after them and that quantity should last a long time.  Arnoldo comes on Wednesday’s for lunch and then goes on to visit with Ana with the men.  I walked over to Socorro’s but she wasn’t home.  I called and she said she was in her home and would be there in 5 minutes.  When she arrived she said that she had a molar removed this morning and it had really hurt.  We did our study and I talked with her about coming to our Wednesday night study.  She said she would come!  After a quick respite we went to pick up Regina and Arnoldo and they said they had gotten some notice that their house would be fumigated on Thursday.  They were told that all animals and people would have to leave the house for at least 30 minutes while health workers went in and fumigated.  This is to fight the Zika virus.  Next, we went by to pick up Socorro and she was ready.  Osvaldo taught the evening class and Don Santos and family and Kelly, Kiki and Nicole all came.  It was a great evening and Don Santo and Socorro had lots of comments.
