Beautiful Feet: February 3, 2016

Ten visitors and pupusas!!! This morning Charlotte and Seyli headed out to study with Reina and to hand out invitations, Cesar and Mario went over to study with Delmy and I headed out alone to give out invitations to the Ladies event this Saturday. It went well. I did not slide any under doors but only gave them to people I was able to talk to in person. When I finished I went back over to Delmy's to catch up with Cesar and Mario. They were studying baptism and Delmy said she was not attending anywhere because she had gone through a lot of difficulties in the last year but that she really wanted to get back into connection with God and to have her children to have a relationship with God. It was very encouraging. After that we walked by to visit Mr. Rivas. He was not home but we did have a short visit with his grandmother and aunt and had a prayer with them and invited them to the ladies event on Saturday. Charlotte: Seyli and I first went above the cemetery and Wendy was still home. She did not deliver on Monday. The doctor told her that she wasn’t quite ready and he made an appointment for her to come back on Tuesday. We just visited a few minutes and invited them to the ladies’ event. Reina, her neighbor was there and she said that we could come in to study. We didn’t study too long so we could hand out invitations. She had been out the last couple of weeks, so it was good to start back on that study. Then, Seyli and I covered a few more streets. We got to stop by and visit with Julia some and we took some bread to Alba. She had given me the bananas, so I wanted to be sure to get her a loaf. Her husband was home and we invited them again to the Wednesday night service. (And, as Dwaine mentioned, they were among our visitors for the night!) Dwaine: When we walked back up to Mario and Seyli's she and Charlotte had just arrived in their house to find that their two dogs had killed their guinea pig and were playing with the body. She was crying and it was a sad moment. When we got back home Arnoldo joined us for lunch. After lunch Charlotte had Suleyma and Yesenia over to help them to get ready to teach the children's classes. Arnoldo, Cesar and I went to visit Sister Ana. She has another appointment tomorrow in Ahuachapán with the Doctor there, who is a brother in the church. She seemed a little depressed. Tonight we had 10 visitors at our midweek service. I lead a class on the ending of the miraculous gifts and gave everyone some materials they could study at home. This was the second week for Don Santos and Sonja and Jimmy to come and afterwards they invited us to join them for pupusas at the little shop just above the church building. We said we already had an invitation to eat pupusas but that we could go with them to the restaurant near our house next week after our Tuesday night study. When we got up to Mario and Seyli's, Carlos and Linda and their daughters were already there and Cesar and Eliza and Abi arrived after a few minutes. We had a great time and the pupusas were great. There were several different kinds as well as sauce and trimmings and tea or hot chocolate to drink. For dessert we had banana bread that Charlotte had made. We really enjoyed the fellowship and the food too. It was sort of strange to be in our old house but not be the hosts.
