Early morning baking.  Dwaine had talked with Carlos on Tuesday and we agreed to help with the snacks for the preacher’s meeting on Wednesday and then serve lunch in Salcoatitan.  Dwaine went at 8 to the church in Juayuá to clean and meet Carlos to give him tables and bread.  Cesar ended up coming by and picking up the things Carlos needed.  Dwaine and I first went on a study to Briseida and Antonio’s.  Antonio said he had some pending work, but we talked him into a short study on faith.  We encouraged them to come visit as well.  We also walked down to Wendy and Angelica’s and gave them a ‘Que Dice la Biblia?’ to study.  I guess we will use this to gauge their interest in a way.  I have studied off and on for a while with them and they all go to different churches.  It is hard to get them all together at one time where we can study so we will see how the lessons work.  We also stopped by Vilma’s and invited their family for dinner on Friday.  She said that her husband would not come as he typically went out.  We are hopeful that it will work out for the whole family.  We arrived at the preacher’s meeting about 11:15 and served lunch close to noon.  Afterwards, we went returned home for another study, but the group went on to the locale in Salcoatitan where the next area wide service will be held November 13^th. About 2 we had a meeting with Ricardo and Meri.  They are the daughter and son-in-law of Rolando and Blanca and have been coming and studying with Cesar.  They visited about an hour and said they would come for the evening service.  We are enjoying getting to know this family.  I went on to Socorro’s and studied ‘One Baptism’ from Eph. 4.  Dwaine, Cesar and Arnoldo went to the building to study with Mr. Rivas and Melvin.  They said they would be studying baptism on Thursday.  They ran out of time going to Sister Ana’s.  We had a good crowd, including Rolando’s family, for the night service and we had 14 kids!  What a room full of children.  Gisela taught the children and had made an amazing shadow box to teach the story.  I was really impressed and the kids loved it!  it was like watching a movie.  It was definitely a full day.
