Day 68 – Awakened by paranoia

Did someone tell Shawn we were going
bass fishing?

I woke up at 5:30am, or should I say the pouring rain woke me up. I felt the need to get up and “arrange” the room in case it started “dripping” inside-I could hear it already start in the dining room. It ended up being controllable, no big deal. But I couldn’t really fall back asleep for long after that. We got up in time to do Bible reading, text and have coffee/tea and breakfast (yogurt and fruit). We were meeting at the corner, and there were 11 of us (which is a good group for Tues).

Erik and I had studies lined up so we weren’t able to do the invitation work this morning. But we had some really good studies (and invited them to the memorial).

With Marisol we started chapter 13 on Life. We had a good visit with Silvia and set her study up for Friday. She’s been going through a lot with her husband and hasn’t been around. We ended the morning with Mercy’s study, starting chapter 2 on the Bible.

Some of the friends crossed over in the Quebrada and worked up the mountain so this is a video of what we missed.

We got home around 1pm, made a quick lunch and went back out at 2:30 to study with our neighbor, Sabina.  She did really well and her 2 little girls are very sweet, but Wilmer, who is 2.5 is a terror. He starts to scream/cry as soon as we get there and he sees the “yellow” book which makes it hard for her to concentrate. But Sabina seems to be able to block out the distraction.

When we got home, our housemates were still at the pool (we were too tired to go and Erik is starting to not feel good). But we sat outside and did some studying.

They had eaten patacones at the pool but we were starving so we made red cabbage and rice with a salad (typical: onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice) and avocados.

We watched a movie and it was time for bed.
