Left behind. Dwaine left early to clean the building as October was our month for this.  Dwaine has carried that load.  I spent the early morning preparing for the Sunday school class, as well as gathering materials for Ulma’s week to teach on the 30^th.  We had a good turnout today and the Bica students working in Salcoatitan led the service.  They had to leave after lunch and therefore came our way to have the opportunity to lead our service.  Our good news about Alba’s desire to be baptized was announced.  So we are hopeful to have a good turnout for her baptism. She is going to arrive at 7:30 Monday morning for some more studies and then everyone is invited to arrive at 9.  We are excited to have Alba to be a part of the family.  One thing we did learn this morning was that we missed one person on the trip to Izalco.  Oops.  Rafael ran late and did not make it to the building on time.  He was light-hearted about it, so that was good.  In the afternoon, the new kitty did get his first bathJ.  That was needed.  He was definitely much more sociable today.  We still have our trip scheduled for Tuesday to pick up a second kitten from Noe.  We did also schedule a visit with Bessie and Isabel along the way at Ataco so that we could drop off some clothes and pick up some class samples for our big November event for all the churches in the area.  Last year there were about 800 and expectation is about 1000 to come.  So, Hector had assigned slots for the teaching the children on Saturday and Bessie has some of the material.  For the evening, we went to the service in Salcoatitan.  Ana Vilma and Jorge went as well as they are having to work on Sunday mornings.  On the way home, we passed Douglas and Sonja and Douglas said he had to work this past week.  So he is planning to come on Thursday.  When we got home Dwaine worked on setting up the pool for Monday morning.
