Pot roast roach. This morning
Charlotte got up and started her usual cooking fury. She was making a pot roast for us as well as
some beans, rice and sausage to take to Suleyma and some cookies. I had peeled the potatoes for the roast and
had cooked the sausages for the dish for Suleyma and was hanging our white
clothes on the line when she let out a shriek.
She had put the meat, potatoes and carrots in a slow cooker and the next
time she looked in the pot there was a good size roach crawling on the
potatoes. I came in and fished it out
and pinched its head off for being so disrespectful of our food. She rinsed everything off in filtered water
and put it back in the pot. She said
that by the time it cooked for several hours it should be pretty safe. About
9:15 we headed out and first stopped at the building to get chairs for Kelly to
use tonight to host the Bible study at her house. We took the food up the road to Suleyma and visited
for a few minutes. Danielito looked like
he was getting much better and his old smile was back. Then we stopped by Kelly's with the chairs
and song books for tonight. Then we went
to Celia's for our weekly study with her.
Charlotte took her computer and went over the lesson she had done for
the last ladies event and the one she will repeat next Saturday in
Salcoatitan. It went well and because we
had the computer we got to show her some family pictures also. We told her we would come back by about 2:30
with ice cream since there has been a long running joke between her and
Charlotte about her wanting ice cream even though she has diabetes. When we got home Eliza came over for about an
hour to meet with Charlotte about working out a long term plan for the
children's classes here. After lunch and
a short rest we headed back out to see if Reina was home and to take Celia her ice
cream. Charlotte led a study with Reina
on Biblical repentance and worked out with her to go by her house on Sunday
morning to escort her to services. It
would be her first time so we will see.
After the study we ran back by our house for a little snack and then
picked up Regina and Arnoldo for the 5:00 study at Kelly's. She was ready and waiting when we got there.
Kelly had made coffee and Charlotte took some banana bread. We had a pretty good turn out and about 5:15
Celia arrived and that was the first time. She had attended other ladies
events. She said she really enjoyed
it. We are studying through the gospel
of Matthew and tonight was the beginning of the Beatitudes and Cesar led the
study. Unfortunately, Jose was unable to
be there because he has worked in San Salvador every day since Sunday. He leaves on the first bus about 5 in the morning
and gets home on the last bus about 9 each night. Everyone stayed around and visited for about
40 minutes after the study was over and we discussed the idea of changing to 6
instead of 5 because the afternoon school session lets out at 5:30 and that
makes it difficult for some people to attend.
We decided we needed to make sure the change would be good for the most
people so we thought we should wait till Sunday to present it to a larger
group. After we dropped Regina and
Arnoldo off we ran by Selectos to get a couple of items to make dinner for Raul
and Anita tomorrow night. More cooking. But, after we got home, I ate some roach
roast and for some reason Charlotte opted for an egg quesadilla. It was great!
