Clifton was working all day, so I picked up Regina and took Clifton by the bodega.  That was funny, for we sat out front waiting for the workers to arrive so I could leave him, and after 10 min. I decided to call Ricardo.  He said he was coming soon, but the workers were behind the warehouse loading the truck for a trip to Caro Sucio where the store is.  I was glad I called for there is no telling how long I would have waited.  Regina and I went on to first study with Claudia.  Her mom was not home, but we did have a good study.  She is ready and I am prayerful she will decide to be baptized soon.  We did hear her mom was visiting a church across from her store.  However, Claudia said that she wants to come with us.  We talked some about being a part of the NT church.  Tatiana was home, but she had an ear infection and did not feel like studying. So Regina and I went to visit a lady name Erlinda.  Her husband passed away about a month ago and she has come to a few events.  She always likes the church, so we are hoping we can start that study.  She wasn’t home though for this visit.  Next, we went by Celia’s and Regina and Celia talked circles around me.  They discovered they were distantly related as Celia’s landlord had passed this past weekend and he was related to Celia’s daughter on her father’s side. Regina is also distantly related to this man.  His daughter and son-in-law had started building the largest house in Juayua, quite a mansion, right next to Celia.  But they never finished the bottom basement or the top floor, so it only has a caretaker.  We had toured it and it has the prettiest view of all Juayua that we know of.  Anyway, we stayed on till about 12:30 and I didn’t get home until about 1. Dwaine went out with Cesar to study with Michael, Delmy’s son and they had a good study.  I had rescheduled Socorro for Thursday afternoon.  At first she did not answer her door, and it was beginning to rain hard.  I had turned to go home and she came to the door.  Someone saw her and called for me to return.  It was good, because the bottom fell out of the sky at this time. She had been cleaning a room and did not hear my knock.   It was some big storm with lots of lightning.  I was glad to be inside.  We had a very involved study regarding the Holy Spirit and baptism.  At the end of the study, she did say she would come to the evening Bible study at Cesar’s.  So after a short break, I walked back by and we walked to Cesar’s.  Dwaine drove up near the building to pick up some folks.  Claudia came with Celia and I was encouraged about that.  There were lots of people at the study, including Omar, Isela, Emily and Xiomara.  They walked home with me after the Bible study to have a study on baptism. Clifton arrived home from work about this time.  I had some chip and dip, so it was a little heartier than some snacks.   They stayed until after 10 and it was a good study and they are thinking of the passages we shared.  This all made for a full, and good day.
