Beautiful Feet: January 30, 2016

Nahuizalco. Up and going early for our second bread and coffee. We arrived at the church building at 8:30 with three loaves of carrot bread and a big pot of coffee. Caleb said we were serving gourmet bread. We had about 25 people stop by and a couple sat and talked for ten or fifteen minutes. We were very thankful that it was great weather. Our first time was so windy and today was nice and calm. We had planned an afternoon out with Kelly and Jose and family instead of a study this week. So, we finished up the bread and coffee about 10. We met with Jose and Kelly at noon. It actually about an hour for everyone to gather and get off. We were heading to Nahuizalco, the home place of Kelly. We had visited there when she picked up her birth certificate. It was quite picturesque. However, Jose, warned us that there were many areas close to the park that were very dangerous, especially in regards to robbery. Even when we arrived in our walk, Jose showed us a place across the street from us that was an area of robbery. When we arrived, about a 30 minute drive, most of the eating places were already closed and we were planning lunch there. So, we walked around for about an hour, visiting the Catholic Church and many little tourist shops. We laughed so much. One time, Kelly told Nicole of age of about 10, not to touch the trinkets…..In a minute, mom was picking up a trinket and Nicole quietly said, “Don’t touch the trinket….” That turned into the line of the day. We finally decided we were all hungry and we went into the market to find some little shops serving food. Because it was the market, we ate with raw meat hanging close to the tables. Yummy! Dwaine and I got chow mien noodles. We don’t actually see that much here. Jose ate all the tortillas and we all laughed at that. Afterwards we walked through some streets and Kelly told us some stories of her childhood. We got home about 4ish. It was a good outing and we are prayerful that our continued relationship will be a positive example for them. When we got home, we worked on lessons for Sunday.
