New study.  Tuesday morning meeting.  With our upcoming departure, we didn’t have too much to finalize on plans.  The Ladies’ Event was ready for September 3^rd and the Ladies’/Childrens’ Event for October 1.  It sure rolls around in a hurry.  We wrapped up about 11:30.  Cesar had taken Rolando to the doctor for a small surgery in Sonsonate, be he arrived right at the end.  Cesar and Dwaine planned to study with Michael and Mr. Rivers for the afternoon and Seily and I planned to go to visit with Sister Ana and her family.  Right after lunch, a big lightning storm arrived.  In about 10 minutes, the electricity went off and on for about 8 times.  I did get everything unplugged.  Since we had lost our modem, we try to turn off things when the bigger storms arrive.  I thought there was a break in the action about 2:30 and I headed to Seily.  I drove pass Cesar and Dwaine returning.  The rain had interrupted their study as well.  When I got to Seily’s she said she did not want to go out in the storm, so we visited and worked on the craft for the Ladies’ Event.  She is going to teach the ladies how to make hair bows.  We got all the ribbon cut and after a couple of hours, I took them home to burn the ends so they would not fray.  That should make us ready for this month.  We will order most of the food, and I will only make some cookies.  When I got home, we waited for Don Santos and Ana Vilma to arrive with her sister Flore.  Don Santos and Dwaine are studying Que Dice La Biblia and I stared studying with Flore, Ana Vilma’s sister.  It was a late study for her, but she has a job caring for a baby each day.  Flor lives in Salcoatitan and the last bus runs at 7.  I mentioned if Ana Vilma would make the drive with me, I would take her home to Salcoatitan.  So, that worked well.  We wrapped up about 7:30 and the trip was fine.  It isn’t far, it is just the forever safety question.  All was fine, she lives very close to the main road, so we had no problems.
