Dwaine did early morning errands, especially focusing on writing Juayua name on all the chairs at the building.  That is in preparation for using our chairs in Salcoatitan on Sunday for the big gathering of the churches.  At 10 we had another meeting with Cesar and Carlos to continue to work on agenda items in Juayua and Salcoatitan.  Cesar said that he would have to leave early to take Eliza to Ahuachapán to have her toenail removed from an injury.  At 1:30, Dwaine walked up to Mauricio’s for a scheduled study, but he was not there.  He said at this point, he thought he would just wait for him to renew interest as he stays so busy.  At 2:30 I went to pick up Katheryn for a study and her dad, Marcos was home.  I talked to him about studying, but he is has a very erratic work schedule.  We will stay in prayer about him.  We are supposed to go to his birthday party a week from Saturday, so hopefully doors will stay open.  As I was leaving, Nelson was arriving so he began his study with Dwaine.  Cesar arrived shortly from his trip and joined the study.  We all wrapped up a little after four because we were supposed to go by and visit with Mario and Sara.  Mario was trying to get a truck to transport chairs and we wanted to talk to him and Sara about Mario’s upcoming surgery to remove the brace in his leg.  He is going to try to schedule the surgery in January.  Hopefully he can make a full recovery with the finality of this surgery.  He will have to have some therapy as well to follow.  It will be a long process and they are very apprehensive of undergoing this long care and pain again.  Keep them in your prayers.  The brace is external to the leg, so hopefully it will not be too invasive.  Next, Dwaine went to help Cesar with the leadership lesson and almost as soon as he left, Ulma, Juan Miguel, Yesenia, Karen and Elena arrived.  I have been communicating with Yesenia about some puppets and room décor, as she is very talented.  Yesenia decorated both our classroom and nursery and wants to work on our new additional adolescence class that will begin in January.  I had a book to make puppets and Lucky had brought me lots of felt and I passed all that along for her to use to make hand puppets.  She was extremely excited about this prospect.  They left after about an hour and a half and I skyped some with the children.  Dwaine got home about 7:30 and he and I worked on crafts for Sunday’s class for a couple of hours.
