Stay home and they will come. Chocolate zuchini bread….yummy. Kelly and Nicole were coming for our morning
study. I started working on the book, 30
Days through the Bible by F. LaGard Smith with Kelly and Nicole. Since we only meet once a week, 30 days will
be 30 weeks. And then, we also visit and
often don’t complete the lesson, so we should be set for at least a year. Hopefully it will give some good foundation
in a Biblical overview. We had our snack
and started the study, and there was a knock on the door. Regina and Arnoldo had stopped by after
picking up Arnoldo’s grades at school.
Earlier, he had received a medallion for 3rd place in his
studies. They stayed for about an hour
and it was a good time of fellowship. In
all, Kelly and Nicole stayed from about 8:30 to 11 and we finally had to call
it quits to make a visit and return for a noon study. When we took Kelly and Nicole home, we
stopped by the house that we first lived in and where Seily and Mario had lived. Don Santos said that a single,
older lady moved in and we should go by and visit. She was hesitant to open the door, but she
finally felt safe and came out to meet us all.
Kelly lives across the street and offered to help her any way
possible. We invited her to church and
hopefully she will give us a visit. She
has family in a nearby town, but no family in Juayua. We thought that Douglas and Sonja were
coming at noonish, but they did not arrive.
I had a study at 2:30 with Katheryn and at 2 there was a knock on the
door. It was Douglas, Sonja and their
daughter Erica. I called Katheryn and she actually was in Sonsonate, so we
rescheduled for 3:30. Just a few minutes
into starting the study, Marina knocked on the door. We were getting going on a baptism study, and
we got another knock on the door. It was
Nelson. He has not come in a few weeks
because of work in the fincas is very prevalent now with the coffee
harvest. But, he was available for a
study today. So, with all those folks,
we got going and had a great study.
Douglas asked if he could come back on his next day off, Sunday, so they
are going to come at 1. He is really
interested. He is attending a church and
while he sees a need for baptism, he does not see a break in ties with that
church….so there is some direction for the next study. I picked up Katheryn about 3:45 and Ana Vilma
was walking by, far from home.
Interestingly, she was looking at the house for Carolina’s family where
Brenda, the young girl who just moved to Salcoatitan had lived. Recently, they had to move out of their home
and into Sister Ana’s home. It is the
children’s father and 4 of Carolina’s siblings.
It is so difficult to find living quarters here and we are going to try
to keep ears and eyes open to help.
Having that many people added on to Sister Ana’s has just overloaded
their home. I don’t know how many live
there, but it is bordering on 10 to 12 before the 5 more moved in. That is a lot in one home! Katheryn and I studied until about 5:30. She didn’t feel very well, so we did not go
so long. Then, we did the 'drop-in.' We met Don Santos riding his bike to the new house that we originally thought we might rent, but moved on into town. It was beautiful! He said right now he was going to keep it for his family and short term rentals. That wrapped up our day of ‘drop
ins.’ Sometimes we wonder on our end how many
people we miss while we are out.

Don Santos' home that is almost complete.
