What goes around, comes around. We had done the Ladies’ event, Flowers for
Me, the first Saturday in February and now it was time to repeat this for
Salcoatitan. Lessons were ready to go
and Linda and I had worked on craft materials.
I had only done some cutting for her.
Besides speaking, I was planning to do the cooking. Since we did not have anything else planned
except a short errand to contact one couple to invite them for dinner and
gather some Sunday morning teaching supplies, I thought I had the whole morning
to cook. Wow, I needed every
minute. The menu included 60 flower
shaped butter cookies with a lemon icing, 50 flower cut open chicken salad
sandwiches and chip and dip. I think the
cookies were the culprits for taking so long.
Dwaine had gone to the building to help Cesar clean. He also hung some mirrors in the bathrooms,
did some touch up painting and hung a curtain to separate the children’s
classes and the ‘auditorium.’ He made it
home in time to help with the sandwiches and loading the car. We left out for Salcoatitan. Along the way we got a call to remind us that
we were to bring the parachute and items for the children’s classes. So, Dwaine took me on to the building and he
went back with Carlos. Linda also needed
a few things from our home, so they made that leg too. They got back in time for our 3 o’clock start
time and we had about 20 people to come.
That included about 5 or 6 Christians from visiting congregations. That was a great turnout and we were thankful
to get to share with them. They especially
loved the craft at the end and some said they make and sell the flowers they
had made. We cleared out about 6. It was still really windy and Dwaine actually
said it had been cool outside with the kids.
That is the first time I have heard him say that since we arrived a year
ago. I am typically cool, especially in
the evenings. When we got home, we got
extra ‘Charlotte time,’ as Christina and Dan were babysitting and they shared their
time with us. It was a nice treat!
