Answer to a
question…..It’s impossible. It seems
sometimes when we head out at 9 for studies, we have already put in a full day.
I was doing some extra bread cooking
because I was cooking some for some gifts and for the Thursday night
study. So, Dwaine helped me shred
carrots and mash bananas. At nine, we
headed up to Seyli’s, picking up Cesar along the way. I had changed some of my study times so
that Seyli and I could join in on Delmy’s study. She has asked where I have been, so I wanted
to encourage her. Cesar led a good study
and we got to visit some. Afterwards, we
went by Mr. Rivas, but he was not home.
Amelia was home, so we visited some.
Next, Dwaine and Cesar walked up to see if Rafael could study. Seyli and I went by to visit Julia. It has been a long time since we studied, but
we have kept in contact. Since there
were no men with us, I led the study.
Julia said some amazing things.
Previously, we had studied several times focusing on Christ and developing
a relationship with him, becoming a Christian.
Each time, she had an obstacle in her life she did not want to give
up. The cost was too great. Our conversation was pretty focused since she
had already studied. She lives in front
of the cemetery and we can gather many illustrations from that source. At any rate, surprisingly, she was more
agreeable and said that she had removed the obstacle from her life three months
ago. She wanted to continue studying, so
we are going to pick up with some refreshment lessons. She was one of the first persons that we
studied with and even recently, she came to the February event. Keep her in your prayers. For Dwaine and Cesar, Rafael was unable to
study. He was having some serious health
problems and planned to visit the doctor.
We invited Cesar to have lunch with us because Eliza was in San
Salvador. Arnoldo also joined us for his
Wednesday visit. I got tied up on Skype
helping Leanna with some homework, so the men visited. Afterwards, Cesar and Arnoldo left to go to
Ana’s along with Mario Lara. Dwaine
headed out to Sonsonate to make a final decision on buying some fans for the
church building and I left shortly afterwards for Socorro’s. I most enjoy our studies because we have
developed such a close friendship.
Before my mom passed years ago, she would have our family over for
dinner before church on Wednesday night.
I can remember how….hard to put into words, maybe sheltered from the
world I felt for that special hour each week.
When I am with Socorro, we laugh, talk share and just be ourselves. It reminds me of those moments with my
mom. She was expecting a client to come
to the hostel for the night, so she couldn’t leave for our Wednesday service,
but planned to go on Thursday night when the Bible study will be in the next
block. For Wednesday night, we had Jose,
Kiki and Nicole to visit, along with Don Santos, Sonja and Jimmy. Carlos led the study. When we finished we still had a ways to
go. Yoli and Linda stayed on to have a
ladies meeting to finalize the Salcoatitan meeting on Saturday and plan next month’s
meeting for the ladies for March 5th in Juayua. Yoli is going to
teach on Hannah, so we are going to have a ‘Baby Shower’ theme. Now, here is the funny…..I was thinking we
could move along quickly because we had generalities already set. I told Dwaine originally I was wondering if
we could accomplish everything in 30 minutes.
When we finished up two hours later, he said I had the answer to that
question.
