Caleb & Della: 5/26/14: Day 85: Franklin Evangelism

We met at the church building at 9:00 with the group from Franklin. We split into teams, each with an interpreter. Della served as an interpreter but I am not far enough along. We canvased most of an area of Ataco called Triunfo. My team gave out around 50 invitations. One lady had several pets including a squirrel which are not common here. We worked until 12:00 and then walked back to the church building. We ate quesadillas cooked by the sisters of the church for lunch. After we loaded all the chairs in Warner’s truck. Della went home to rest after walking all day during the evangelism. Then I went to the school to setup the canopies while the Franklin group stayed and practiced for the VBS. I got sunburned and bitten by ants several times. It was a lot of work to setup the canopies. We finished at 2:30 and then Fernando and I went back to the house to meet a mechanic. The mechanic couldn’t get the van to start. He said that he needed to tow it back it down to Ahuachapán by pulling it with a chain. I reacted thinking that he thought I was going to drive while he pulled. He explained that he needed to come back in an hour with his assistant. So I went with Della to the end of the VBS to setup the projector for the campaign. Then I went back to the house (about a quarter mile) to wait for the van to get picked up. They arrived around 5:30 and managed to get it to crank. They pulled it out of the garage and it was puffing white smoke and dripping out the tail pipe. Then I walked back to the campaign and helped them take down everything. Della, Lucky, and I were so tired that we decided to eat at home instead of waiting with the group at the restaurant.
