April 4, 2016

Back to Monday meetings.  Last week we had met on Tuesday for our weekly leader's meeting because we arrived back in Juayua on Monday but this week we were able to have our meeting on Monday which is better for Yoli.  Everyone was able to come and we talked about all the recent past events and the ones coming up.  Sure is amazing for such small towns how we can come up with so much to do.  We wrapped up about 11 so that Carlos and Linda could be on time to get Carly from preschool in Salcoatitan.  After the meeting Charlotte and I walked down behind the cemetery to check with Oscar and Wendy to make sure they could come for dinner tonight and to tell them a time.  On the way home we stopped by Selectos and got the items Charlotte needed for dinner.  After lunch Charlotte and I rested some and then spent the afternoon getting ready dinner ready.  About 5:30 I went and picked them up in the car so they would not have to walk.  They arrived at the road soon after I got there and we got back about 6.  We had fried chicken, green salad, small whole potatoes and green beans with potatoes and carrots mixed in.  For dessert we had cinnamon cake that was left over from some Charlotte had made for the morning meeting.  Everything was great as always, I know you all wish you could have been here to enjoy it.  After dinner we had a Bible study with Charlotte and I alternating through the whole study.  It was neat for me but sure showed me how much I felt urges to jump in on Charlotte's parts and how much I need to work on that.  We studied about the importance of obeying God's word rather than the teachings of men.  They agreed to come back for the next two or three Monday nights for dinner and a study and we would talk about the differences between the church their family attends and what the Bible teaches about the church.  After that we will just have to let them decide what they will do with that but it is so difficult to leave the religion of their family when they all live together in the same house.  Be praying for Oscar and Wendy.  By the time I took them back to their road came back and cleaned all the dishes and Charlotte skyped some with Leanna to help with her physics we were worn out.  

Oscar, Wendy and Eliazar
