Movie Day.  Early morning rising to get everything into place for the movie, Facing the Giants.  All was in place about 8:30 and we had great anticipation for arrivals.  But, alas, it was a small turnout.  We had 4 from school and one lady that we have been studying with for a long time.  I guess we could speculate, wishing that we had actually been working in the school more before we made the invitations.  To date, we have not actually taught yet, only visited.  Hopefully, we can continue to develop relationships.  We ate lots of popcorn and cookies with lots of soda to say the least.  I could say not every plan is the best, but we are thankful for those that came and hope to develop more relationships with them.  With so much gang activity, it would not have been surprising that parents would have declined permission for children to participate.  We did brainstorm how to utilize what we had, and decided to make a movie day for Jose, Kelly and family too.  Our regular time to visit is Saturday at 3:30.  When we first arrived Kelly wasn’t home, but she arrived shortly.  Jose often is not in, but he was there today.  He had worked in San Salvador and one of his employers had given away a lot of furniture and miscellaneous items.  Jose had brought a lot back on the bus, but still needed to get a truck up to San Salvador to get the rest.  He is hoping to sell most of the items.  It was interesting to hear what an assortment of things he got.  They did want to see the movie.  We had company on Friday night and there were enough leftovers that we made it dinner and a movie.  They stayed on and visited for a while and we still had some opportunities to talk about their decision.  We continue in prayer for them for all their questions lead one to think this is on their hearts.  One negative for the day, was no internet.  For some reason, all of Juayua was out of service.  We have been without internet during moves, but this is the first time the company has had a whole day offline.
