I woke up and quickly rehearsed the sermon. I left to get
Samuel from Ahuachapán at 7:30. When I got to the church I had to scramble to
meld my slides in with Paolo’s songs. The sermon seemed well received. I spent
about 12 hours working on it. The sermon subject was earnest prayer focusing on
Elijah from 1st Kings 18. The teens were supposed to listen to the
sermon and not have class but at the last minute they decided they had to go to
our house and have Carlos come up with something to teach them on the spot. I
was a bit disappointed that they choose to do that. The sermon lasted the appropriate
time but then we had to come up with several filler songs while we waited on
Carlos to get back to make the announcements.
After service we gave Edgardo the keys to the house so he and his family
could continue with the painting. Then Lucky, Della, Carlos’ family, and I went
to Ahuachapán. After dropping off Carlos’ family we proceeded to lunch at Pollo
Camparo. Then we took Samuel home. We stopped by the grocery store and then
went home. The painting was going well and I read most of the book of Ezra
while they worked. At 3:40 we went back to the church building and I delivered
the sermon with Lucky interpreting for the afternoon service. After the service
we went home and ate nachos with cheese and meat. I worked on lessons for
tomorrow and then went to bed.
