Worst “Big Macs” ever!!! As
Jose and Kelly and kids left last night they said they would all probably be at
services this morning. Also, we had
passed Mr. Rivas on the road Friday as we were headed back to Juayua from
Sonsonate and he said he planned to come today also. Then yesterday afternoon I had seen Don
Santos on the street and asked him again if they might come this morning. He said they might be taking their son back
to Santa Ana but I mentioned that we ended at 11:30 and they would have plenty
of time to go afterwards. He did not
make any promises but said he would talk to Sonja about it. Also, as always, on our way to pick up Regina
and Arnoldo we ran by to see if Mario and Sara might be at home but as always
their door was closed and they were gone.
He had told us that since Sunday is Sara's only day off they always go
to visit family but we had encouraged him to come to the services on Sunday
morning and then to visit in the afternoon.
Also, at the end of the study on Friday Charlotte had told Reina we
would walk to her door and escort her to the service but when we got there she
was not home and even though Wendy who lives next to her was home she said she
could not come because she was in the middle of giving the baby a bath. In the end none of them came and I was
feeling a little down when Marcos and his two daughters walked in. Alba, his wife walked in a few moments
later. They had visited once on a
Wednesday night but this was their first time to come on Sunday with the
exception that Alba had come our first day at the new building. After the service Charlotte said we needed to
go out to lunch with them. They live
near the church location so they walked back up to their house while we ran
Regina and her family home and then we went back and picked them up. Charlotte had said maybe we could just get pupusas
again though we have had more than our share lately. Turns out, that while pupusas are very
popular here for both breakfast and dinner they are not popular for lunch and
none of the pupusas places were open.
The last one we tried was near the new restaurant that had opened up in
the location where we had our summer English classes when our group came last
July. They had several things on the
menu but turns out that the only thing they really had available was hamburgers
and fries. Those turned out to be $1.50
each and then everyone got a strawberry-banana smoothie and those were also
$1.50 each so in the end we paid $20.50 total which is really a lot for a meal
here and the burgers were just terrible.
Marcos kept calling them Big Macs and I kept wishing they were though if
I were in Huntsville McDonald's is probably the last hamburger place I would
choose. At least we had the fellowship
time with them. By the time we dropped
them back off it was almost 2 and we did not have long at all before time to
head out to Salcoatitan. We did pick up
Arnoldo and Regina for that service.
They had a pretty good turn out, 28 people all total, which is good
considering that they had their first service the first Sunday of January. On the way home our car was so full that I
rode back with Bro. Mario Lara which was good because we got to visit a little
and I got to know him a little better.
Well, as the people here often say “Little by little”.
Sonja, mother of Ulma, visited and made this
beautiful embroidery for me!
