November 5, 2016

Visits and preparation.  Dwaine and Jim went out to visit with Jose and Kelly and Nicole came here to help me in preparation for the afternoon.  First, they helped me make cupcakes with the ‘good soil’ theme.  Second, they helped get the craft ready.  Kelly came up with a really cute idea of making a small planter with toilet paper rolls.  With everything in place, they headed out and I did a final organization of my lesson on the Parable of the Sower.  After lunch, Dwaine and Jim went to visit with Omar and his family and they planned a dinner out after the Ladies’ Event.  We got to the building shortly after 2 and all was in place.  Many had said that we should hold off of a meeting in November and December because once school is finished, people are busy on graduations and parties and travels.  So our number was a little smaller but we had about 20ish and about 10 were visitors outside of the children.  The good news is that two ladies that I am studying with came and we got to visit some.  Kelly’s sister and sister-in-law came for the first time and that was exciting.  And, all of the ladies in Sister Ana’s household came.  Many blessings.  Gisela was MC for the first time and she prepared some special verses for that.  We had also gotten some plants for door prizes and everyone loved those.  Thanks to Omar for that contribution.  Kelly did a great job on the craft and I think everyone stayed for that.  We finished up about 5:30.  At 6:30 we met Xiomara, Omar, Gisela and Emilet at Ranitas for dinner.  It was a great time together and afterwards we came by for some lemon cake for dessert.  We called it a night before too late and I went to bed pretty quick when all were gone.
