Early start.
Time of departure rolled around in a hurry this morning. We were trying to get off about 6:40, but we
were out the door about 6:45. We dropped
by Ana’s home and picked her up first.
Several had already left because the car would be too full. We made it to the building about 5 til
7. We lacked a few above the church, so
Dwaine headed out to ask if anyone else was going. Celia needed to go get medicine for Terry and
someone in Claudia’s family had to go to the hospital. But Jose and Kelly with Kiki and Nicole were
just heading out. Kelly’s shoe broke and
she had had to go back and change shoes.
George was able to help Ana into the bus. We had worried about that, but it went
smoothly. We had about 30 from Juayua
and still had to go by Salcoatitan and Santa Catherina. Each of them had around a dozen, so we were
quite full. I was especially excited
that Alba came with Katherine and Jacquelyn.
We arrived about 9 at Santa Tecla and it was a good crowd with many
visitors. This was our 5th
Sunday meeting that we committed to participate in for a year. It is a great opportunity to fellowship. We had done our time earlier and it was a joy
to be together again. They had both a
class and sermon. Dwaine assisted with
the Lord’s Supper and I helped Patricia from Santa Tecla and Linda teach the
children. They broke the children into
three age groups, so all was very manageable.
We enjoyed a nice meal together and it left about 1 to go home. During the lunch, I sat beside Alba and she
said that Katherine wanted to start back studying and wanted to be a part of
the church. While she is young, she
always sat in on every study and did all the scripture reading. So, we sat up another study time for Monday
morning. While it may be focused for
Katherine, I am excited for Alba to hear the message again. I am praying that we will keep the door open
and she will see the need in her life to obey the gospel. In speculation, I think her husband has not
made any connection and is holding her back.
He is almost always working on Sunday, so we hope, as everyone here
says, little by little the word can make an impact in her life. We arrived home and rested a few minutes and
then headed up to visit with Edgar and Rachel, but they were not home. We stopped by on the way home at Selectos to
get some ice cream on sale and some cokes to make floats for our Monday night
class. It will be a changeJ.
Starting to load the bus.
Passed a religious walk that closed one side of the highway.
We were uncertain exactly what the purpose was.
