New Sister!  Yes, Alba Ban was baptized this morning!  We were expecting Alba to arrive about 7:30 when she dropped Katheryn off for school for about an hour of study and then her baptism at 9 when others arrived.  However, she didn’t arrive until 8:50J.  She had a logistics’ problem on timing. But, we still studied for an hour and everyone visited.  At 10 she wanted to pick up Katheryn up at school to be at her baptism and we met Rosalydia and her children in route to the house as well.  About 10:30, she put on our Lord in baptism.  It has been a long journey as she was one of the first contacts we had when we came to Juayua.  It is a blessing to have her part of the family and we pray for her growth.  Just recently I began studying with her older daughter as well as she has really connected with girls in our Sunday school class. We are excited for her and pray for her growth.  Since we went so long, we did not meet for a leader’s meeting.  For the afternoon, Ulma came to go on studies’ with me.  She is a young mother with a son of 2 and ½ years.  She wants to go out with me one day a week and then also join Regina and I for a study at Sister Ana’s on Tuesdays.  It is a journey for her on bus as she lives in Apaneca, close to Rosaria.  We visited with Vilma.  It was good to get with her again and her husband arrived, Manual.  This was the first time to meet him.  We studied spiritual blessings.  Next, we went by Amalia’s but she was occupied and unable to study.  So, we walked up to Celia’s and visited and studied the Eunuch and the gospel Philip shared with him.  Terry was home and her health was about the same.  Afterwards, I dropped her by the buses and headed home.  Dwaine put the car up, but soon he got it back out.  We got a call from Cesar that Noe had to go to Ataco, so he was going to come on to Salcoatitan and drop his gray kitten off with Carlos.  When he arrived, we drove to Carlos and Linda’s and visited about 30 or 40 minutes.  The kitten was really pretty and maybe 2 or 3 weeks older than the one we got last Thursday.  When we left, Brianna said, El Meow, El Meow!  The girls had really liked the little kitten.  Well, this will be a very hard decision to make.  One will go to Nicole, whose cat was killed about a week ago and we will keep the other one.  They had a play fest when we got home and the new one must have been around a dog, for it did not even hiss at Wicket.  No final thoughts for the night....only blessings for our new Sister.

Alba Ban's baptism!
