Day 10 - Football (& Preaching of course!)

Only one squeal @ 5AM and Erik slept right through it. I guess he’s already accustomed to the sweet sounds of Cumbaratza.

8:30AM-Met for service at KH in Cumbaratza. Leah preached with Ryan’s wife, Veronica, and Rosita. At the first door, Leah started a study with one of Ryan’s RV, a young girl named Evelyn-going back next Sunday morning.  Then she went on a study with a very progressive student named Marisol, which Veronica handed over to her.

Erik preached with Ryan and Shawn. He went on 3 studies with Ryan and he handed over one too. Hey, we’ll take whatever we can get.

Got back home around 1:30. Ryan & Veronica made beef cooked in water/garlic/soy sauce with homemade patacones and cheese – Delicious!

 3:30-The boys managed to find live streaming coverage of the playoff game. But there joy was quickly diminished as we had to leave to go to Maria’s house. She is a study that invited us over for tamales and coffee. She hand ground the corn and then stuffs it with veggies and pork and serves it with black coffee with sugar. 

She has a beautiful patio with spectacular views and filled with flowers – almost like the countryside in Italy.  That was really nice of her to be so hospitable and invite us all over; we enjoyed it.

Shawn, Leah, Veronica, Maria, Erik, her son & grandson, Ryan

We came back home and Shawn and Erik watched the 2^nd game while Veronica and Leah went for a long walk. It was a perfect night-breezy, temps cooled down to 70ish and gorgeous scenery on all sides. A perfect ending to a beautiful day in Cumbaratza.
