August 26, 2016

First, we went by to visit with Celia.  We had studied some differences in the Mormon church the previous Friday and came to the conclusion, the underlying foundation of the Mormon church is not taught.  Therefore, in appearance here, the Mormon church does appear on the surface much like the church.  This makes it very difficult to study.  We are in prayer for Celia and Terry that they may see the light of Jesus and his church.  Next, we picked up Kelly and Nicole and came back home to study.  Dwaine walked over to Cesar’s to study with Michael.  He had expressed a desire to be baptized and Dwaine wanted to join in on his study.  His grandfather, whom we never see, had told Michael that if he was baptized, he would receive his miraculous gift of the Spirit.  So, they had a three hour study on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Hopefully, he will still be baptized, but we have learned that the grandfather does make the spiritual decisions of the family.  After lunch, we had about an hour to clean the house for overnight guests and head out for the leader’s retreat.  We arrived just before three and people gathered fairly quickly.  Noe conducted the first study on intimacy of marriage and Dwaine led the second lesson on teaching your children about Christ.  Dwaine did more of an open forum/discussion format and had lots of participation.  Fatima and Raul was visiting from Atiquizaya with their son of 1 ½ year and they stayed the night with us.  We got home close to 8:45 and we visited for over an hour. After 10 we called it a night because we were to head out about 7:40 the next morning.
