Beautiful Feet: June 17, 2016

Friday started with “Happy Father’s Day!” Well, it is Father’s Day in El Salvador and schools were out! We had an early study with Celia. She has had difficulties in her family recently, so we have not been as regular in our studies. Her grandson had some gang association and was put in jail. She said he should be out in at least 6 months, but it has been very difficult for the family. They must pay for his daily meals and it has been a challenge to get that to them since he is some distance away. Celia is Morman and we have share a lot of foundational passage with her. We are beginning to move into some more challenging verses. We wanted to do this along with her daughter, but she has not been home during their hard times. We went ahead and started, and plan to repeat the study when her daughter is available. She had some really great questions and listened intently. She cannot read, but her daughter can. So they can reread the verses on their time. We are moving slow on this study. Celia is always eager to visit with us and study when she does not have conflicts, so keep her in your prayers. After lunch I went back up to study with Angelica. Earlier in the week she said she may be out, and she was. So, I headed back home. We had invited Mario and Sara for dinner and they arrived a few minutes after 6. They had missed the first New Converts class, so we redid the lesson for them. They have a very difficult time coming to church on Sunday because Sara works. She said if she asks off on the weekend, they dock her two days…which is net $3 and some change each day. Mario tries to visit his mother’s in hopes of leading tours to the waterfalls. They come regularly on Wednesday, so we are prayerful that things will open for them to come regularly.
