August 29, 2016

We tried to go by and visit with Sylvia this morning, but she was not home.  We had a meeting on Tuesday morning, so we were hoping she might be in Monday morning. We will have to drop by at a later time.  With a little extra time we went by Selectos and Dwaine walked up to check with Don Santos to see if he was coming on Tuesday.  He was planning to come.  Next, we worked on some lessons through lunch.  After lunch, Seily and I went up to the cemetery to study with Vilma.  Zoila, her mother also joined in on the study.  It was raining, so we went inside.  We visited a long time.  During the study, Seily received a call from her husband, Mario, that he had been in an accident in San Salvador.  Thankfully, he was not hurt, as well as the other person involved.  However, he had a good bit of damage to his car, and was going to have it towed.  He did have some family in San Salvador to help out.  After a long study, we went on to Amalia’s.  She was supposed to go to Salcoatitan before too long, so Seily did a study for about 40 minutes on repentance.  We were excited that we were able to have both our studies.  After returning home, we had our New Convert’s class and talked about evangelism.  It was a great time to talk about increasing contacts and warm receptions in the body.  There was a great turnout and it was especially good that Ana and Jorge were there as new converts and not as visitors.  Afterwards we got to visit with Mario and Sara and share some wedding pictures with them.  Next week we are planning a dinner for our class members and we are excited about that.
 
Saga of the Traveling Roaches

Thought I would include the ‘roach’ story.  On Monday night, we noticed a huge roach tiptoeing across the floor.  We leave our sliding door open while we are up so Wicket can come and go.  At times, we see a roach out the corner of our eye entering and crossing our white floors.  The direct route, is to enter our bedroom.  We jumped up and by now, it was traveling fast.  It was close to my open closet and I could envision putting on my clothes with a visiting roach inside!  No way!  So, in the end, we killed it and I was so thankful that I could sleep well without worries.  I get up about 4:30 each morning and as I was opening my computer, I saw another huge roach leaving our room, laughing all the way.  All the night, we did have a visitor!  What a delusion!  Well, in the end, this one died too.  Then, Tuesday morning….repeat, another exodus.  It died too.  The rain has been heavy and often this month and we think the roaches are just looking for a dry night. Rent is high and they paid the price…..but how many stowaways are taking advantage of our hospitality?
