 Robotics.  The first class of summer was Robotics by Juan Carlos, a local teacher.  We started off with about 22 students!  Juan Carlos did his introduction and then he let three of his students guide the students through a program of solar energy of which they had won some awards for.  Dwaine and I slipped out for a few minutes to look at a house for rent for we are due for contract renewal soon. It was a dud….only 1 bedroom and an unsecured patio area.  To add, it was more than what we are paying.  So, we will probably be staying put, which is a good thing.  When we returned after 20ish minutes, we served refreshments and Juan Carlos said that was all that he had, finishing up about 45 minutes early.  I told Dwaine I had a construction set at home if he wanted to run get it and it was a hit!  The kids broke into two groups and each group elected a leader, built a structure, named it, and reported on it.  I think they loved getting up and having a hands-on project.  After lunch, I picked up Ulma and headed to Vilma’s.  I had talked to her earlier in the day, and she said that she would be home.  We talked about baptism and the body.  In the end, I tried to ask some very direct questions because she has only visited Ladies’ Events.  She said that she really was not interested in attending and continuing the study.  Sad news.  When we come to a point like that in a study, it is a rough moment.  We will continue to keep in contact and keep the door open.  We are going to take her to Santa Ana next week to pick up some meds for her daughter.  We have to go sometime in December to renew our car papers since it will be my birthday month.  So, we have planned for Tuesday.  For the evening, we had planned a graduation party for those who completed ‘Que Dice la Biblia?’ We had invited participants and their families.  Dwaine had worked on decorations for afternoon and Carlos picked up pupusas.  We had a ceremony and then pupusas and cake.  It was good evening together.  We did have some families that couldn’t come, so we had a lot of pupusas left over….snack for children on Sunday.  When we got home, we worked on buying airplane tickets for January, but we were not successful.  Every time we looked at a different time or made a change the price went up, so after working on it for an hour, we gave up for the evening….leaving it for another day.
