Thursday morning was quiet.  I utilized the morning working on crafts for the ladies’ class. Progress is slow.  At this point, I have a theme for the lesson, but not a clear idea of where that will take me.  After lunch, I went to a study with Seyli.  This was our first study with Sandra, the mother-in-law of Wendy….mother of Oscar.  She is always caring for grandchildren, but everything was quiet when we arrived.  Children were sleeping and Wendy was also taking a nap.  It was a good opportunity to visit some and have our study.  She said that we could come again next Thursday.  It was good to get started on this study and we are prayerful she will be open.  Afterwards I connected with Cesar and Dwaine for a study at Mario’s.  He had come by earlier in the week to say that he could study Thursday, but Sara would be working until Tuesday.  We were hoping to start some couple counseling, but Sara has little time off.  Hopefully that will work next Tuesday.  By the time we finished that study, it was almost 5, so we headed around the corner to Sister Regina’s home for the Thursday night study.  She said she would host it this week.  It was a smaller gathering.  Brother Lara led the study and he did a good job.  We finished about 6, but still had a ways to go until topping the day off.  The ladies had scheduled a meeting from 8 til 10 to get ready for the ladies’ class.  There still seemed some items to clarify.  Yoli had prepared a flyer on a study of Lydia, so it seemed to work good to plan a study about Lydia for the ladies’ class.  We did keep going til 10 amazingly and then walked home.  The meeting was at Cesar and Eliza’s.  Yoli had come to our house and Dwaine walked us to Eliza’s and then came back before 10 to walk us back.  The wind sure was whipping about!  It was also a little coolish.  It was good to get home, but still skyped with Leanna for a few school details.  Friday looks to be a quieter day!
