Back to meeting.  We started the morning with a meeting with Carlos and Cesar to prepare for the upcoming summer camp, three weeks of classes ranging from Bible, Science, Morals, Robotics, Art, Music, etc.  It will be an undertaking!  We also have the upcoming area wide event on Sunday and a ‘Body’ meal planned in November.  One more, we are planning a graduation dinner for people who have finished ‘Que Dice la Biblia.’  During the meeting, Fernando and Fernando (father and son) arrived from Ahuachapán to pick up a letter from Caleb and Della.  They are preparing a Saturday event to honor Fernanda who will be turning 15.  On the way home, they were going by Apaneca to order a birthday cake.  We are going to pick that up on Saturday as we go that way.  At 2, I picked up Ulma at the bus stop and we picked up Regina to go to Sister Ana’s.  Unusually, Ana was not home.  So, we had a little extra time.  Regina said it was Kenia’s birthday and I had not fixed a dessert for our evening time with Don Santos.  So, we all went by the house and did some baking and visiting.  I had a cake mix on hand so it was simple.  One layer went to Kenia, we cut one layer to test it out, some went to Ulma and enough was saved for Don Santos.  So, we got a lot of use out of one mix.  It was good to have some visiting time.  Dwaine and Cesar went up to the building to study with Miguel, Melvin and Eber.  Mr. Rivas was out.  This finalized Miguel’s decision to be baptized on Wednesday.  But, there were not any other takers.  Dwaine did come home with some news, Eber’s wife gave birth to a little girl, Melanie and all went well.  Don Santos came at 7 for his study (and cake).  Dwaine is working through ‘Que Dice La Biblia.’ with him. He left about 8:30 or 9 and we watched election returns until late.  I went on to bed about 11, Dwaine about 1:30 and finally we got up at 2:30 to get the final news.   

Cemetery is always beautiful with the flowers placed on Day of the Dead!
