Satisfied with our paper status, we were back to the norm for the week.  This morning we started with a visit to Armando.  He was home alone; his wife, Mercedes was out.  We much prefer to study with both of them, so we visited for bit and said we would come again another day.  That put us ahead of schedule, so we got a little longer lunch time.  I had put on some soup before we left and it was done.  Next, I picked up Seily and Regina for our weekly trip to Ana’s.  She was in good spirits and ready to study.  We did the first 3 verses of I Peter.  Sonja was present for the full study and Gloria was in the next room, listening to most of the lesson.  Afterwards, we began reading in a book schools use to teach reading.  It reminded me a little of the book, something like…Learn to Read in 100 Lessons.  It starts simple, but progresses rapidly to reading entire pages.  Gloria had asked us to teach her to read.  I thought it would be good to listen to, so Seily is practicing some sounds with us.  It was fun and led to lots of laughs.  I was disappointed Carolina was not there.  She is our new sister and it is very hard to locate her any given day and start some follow-up.  She will hopefully come Friday to a new study for Nicole, the daughter of Kelly and Jose.   Afterwards, Dwaine led a study for Don Santos in the evening on Romans.  Sonja did not come.  She professes a strong Catholic interest and really is not interested.  We hope she will continue coming some, especially to the service on Wednesday.  He stayed until after nine.
