....they spent the night and went in service with us the next morning. It was at the coordinators house, Jesus, and his wife, Maria (yes I'm serious). They r special pioneers assigned here just over a year ago. Maria grew up in California and speaks English perfectly. Jesus can hold his own and seems to b a character. They have a beautiful home and invited us to stay for lunch.
Erik preached with Jesus and I worked with a sister, Mabel. The territory seemed more receptive here, we were just outside of town, but it only gets worked maybe once a month. We found a lot of people home and placed a ton of tracts. Very hilly and beautiful!
Before leaving, Doris made sure to drive by where service was the next day (every morning and afternoon it's at a different place) and took us by the cellular store to get a chip for a prepaid phone Jesus let us borrow and one for Erik's ipad. Had trouble getting it to work so she took us back (I told u she was like our mother) and got it straightened out so we had a phone to make local calls and internet on Erik's ipad (allegedly)-very spotty which is why u haven't heard much of us lately.
Finally at 5 we said our goodbyes and they nervously left us at the corner grocery store to walk home after we entertained ourselves for a bit by parousing the store. Part of me wanted Doris to stay with us forever and part of me knew we had to grow up eventhough it may not b easy.
