We started this morning by having a study with Jose, Kelly and their
kids. We had been studying with them
originally on Saturday afternoons for a long time but that was always hit and
miss and now we have the ladies events on the first and third Saturday of each
month so after talking with them we decided that Friday morning would work
because Nicole has school in the afternoons and while Kiki does have morning
classes he does not begin until 10 on Fridays.
So I ran up and picked them up at 8:15 and they were ready to go when I
arrived. We started the study at 8:30
and finished at 9:30. I had prepared a
study to begin on marriage and family relations but Cesar had given them a
booklet for new Christians called “Your First Forty Days” and they said they
would like to study that together and discuss it. Since they had only one copy I told them I
would make copies for everyone and we would begin that next week so we went
ahead with the introductory study I had already prepared. When we finished Kiki had to go to class and
Jose had a meeting with someone but Kelly and Nicole stayed and then rode back
to their house with us at 10 because we had set that time to study with
Cecelia. She was home and waiting for
us. She said her daughter, Teresa, who
had recently lost her job and was having some health problems was better but
was resting. We began the first session
in the Bible study film series we have been using here. It is basic to us but to them it is always
very beautiful as they say and because it is in Spanish we know they understand
it well. This one just began with the
creation and went through the flood. She
said it was great. After lunch Charlotte
headed out to go to some studies with Sister Seyli and I took advantage of the
afternoon at home to wash Wicket and cut her hair. A few people had mentioned she was looking
neglected and I could not permit that.
It is always an ordeal for her because the whole process takes a couple
of hours but she always looks so much better afterwards. From Charlotte, we first went to Alba’s. Alba and her daughter love to study the Word,
but they have a strong connection with an evangelical church. After studying for many months, we are going to
focus on the true church. They also love activities and she said that she would
attend the Ladies event on Saturday. Be
prayerful that she has an open heart.
Secondly, we had set up a study with Briseida, but when we arrived, she
was out. About 4 Charlotte came back and
Cesar came over to help me move a large French door refrigerator that belonged
to our landlords from their house over to ours.
It was the one they had in this house before we moved in and they had
offered it to us but at the time we did not think we needed it along with the
one we already had which matched our stove but then Charlotte decided to have
breakfast in our home each morning for the Central group when they come so she
wanted to start making some things in advance and freezing them. They were not using this refrigerator because
they had another nicer one already in the house from the lady's sister who had
died and we actually had to clean up the mold some because they had not had it
plugged in since they moved. They were
glad for us to have it at no extra cost as long as we live here. It was very heavy and I got soaked with sweat
in the process of moving it but we finally got it and had a good spot in our
bedroom which is out of eye sight but convenient. After all that we had dinner and skyped and
rested till bed time. That is Dwaine’s
line. The night before Ladies’ events is
always a challenge. We had chosen banana
splits, so there was not a lot of cooking, but the craft was making a sachet
bag for sewing and filling with an aromatic stuffing. Each bag had to be cut and sewed to be ready
to fill. That took til 2:30 in the
morning for another short night.
Grab the camera, another parade passing by...
