This morning we wanted to continue our study with Sylvia and therefore, went to home close to 9:30.  She was there and had time to study.  Her older son also sat in on the study and we studied regarding the Word.  We hope that she will visit one of our studies during the week this week.  When we finished, we tried to go by and see if Mauricio was in, but alas, he was not.  We think he is a busy man.  After lunch, I went by Seily to go to Vilma.  We had a very long study on seeking God.  She made a hot chocolate drink and served ‘bread’ which was a hard cookie.  It is very typical and had a nice flavor, not so sweet.  Her mother was home and while she visited some at first, she was washing clothes, so she continued washing while we studied.  New, we went to Amaila’s and Seily led a study on repentance.  We have both been through the gospel message, but are making another round of it now.  She seemed to feel a little better this week.  We finished at 5:30 and we have the New Convert’s class on Monday night!  Wow, by the time I got home, it was 5:45.  Caleb was on skype, but I could only say hi and bye as I had not pulled any crafts out for the children.  I had some materials I had done a year ago, so it served for that purpose.  We had a ‘full house,’ with all our recent converts except Jose and our two newlyweds.  We studied apostasy and had some discussion.  We are trying to finish this study by the time we leave in September, so it was good to have great attendance.  Afterwards, I worked on painting some costumes for the children because it will be a busy week and I think I have about 15 to paint.  

Friendly visitor flew in.  There is a developing insect collection

at Kelly and Jose's, so we caught it and I dropped by in the afternoon.
