October 28, 2016

Nicole and Kelly came 8:30 to 10:30.  Dwaine graciously went to pick them up.  While he was there he talked to Jose about getting together for some one on one studies for encouragement and to answer some questions.  Once we completed our study, we cooked through lunchtime to get ready for a dinner in the evening.  Dwaine dropped by Vilma and Zoila’s to say he could pick up their family for the dinner tonight. Briseida dropped by to ask if we might be interested in buying some oranges.  I committed to 20 for $2.  (I’m sure we will ‘tip’ on that price.)  I usually use them to make bread, but that might be a stretch.  I may be trying some juice with that many.  I was overjoyed that she would come by and ask.  We did expect Mauricio for a study right after lunch, but Dwaine had passed him and he said he was very busy today.  He didn’t come. Raul stopped by and said that Cesi needed to make a sample craft for school and he was wondering if I might have any ideas.  Kelly and I had been working on the craft for the ladies’ event on the sower, so I shared that with him. It gave us a chance to talk to him about some spiritual issues and it was a great opportunity to get to visit a few minutes. I left at 2:50 to go pick Katheryn up for a study, but Alba had to go to work and so we crossed paths and she brought Katheryn to our house.  Dwaine and Cesar were both there waiting on Nelson, so that worked okay.  Katheryn and I studied ‘til 4:30 and Dwaine and Cesar studied with Nelson until 5.  Nelson said that he was using the information he learned to share with another friend, but as yet Nelson has not made a decision. Cesar and Nelson left and then Arnoldo arrived to go to the leader's meeting.  Dwaine drove him on up to the building as Dwaine was going to do the dinner and Cesar was going to teach the class tonight. Dwaine left at 6:15 for Vilma, Zoila, Andrea and Hilma.  They are all really funny and we had a lighthearted meal together.  We have been studying for about a month and so that was great to have them come.  We are prayerful it will help to make them more comfortable coming to church meetings and group Bible studies. Afterwards, we first took Vilma and her daughters home in the cemetery area and then drove back across town near Sister Ana’s to take her mother, Zoila, home.  Dwaine washed a huge load of dishes while I rested.  When he finished he rested and I worked on a lesson for about an hour.  So we flipped flopped on that…..I forgot to take pics from dinner….we will just have to repeat sometime.
