We
found out last night that there is a meeting today at 9:00 with Noé , Osvaldo,
and Hector to discuss Central’s plans. So I woke up at 5:30 to get the lesson
done for tonight. The lesson was focused on the life of Samuel and how he
listened and obeyed. At 8:30 the girls were still not ready. I knocked on
Lucky’s door and she said “I thought it was for 9:00 at night”. We managed to
get to the meeting in Ahuachapán by 9:05. The plans changed a bit. Apparently
they were only able to secure two locations in Turín and two locations in
Ahuachapán. So they need to have two VBS lessons because they will be spending
two days in each of the locations. I am in charge of transportation for the
construction group with my minivan. I plan to join up with the evangelism group
after dropping them off each day. We had to leave the meeting before it ended
to make it to the doctor in time. We got to Ataco at 11:15 and ate lunch. We
left at 12:10 to go to Sonsonate for the doctor. There were several people in
line when we got there so Lucky and I decided to go to the insurance company to
get my money back. My life insurance policy was declined AFTER they made me go
to San Salvador and see three doctors in one day due to not having permanent
residence. The frustrating thing is; they knew I didn’t have permanent
residence. They were so unorganized that they didn’t know that they had a
problem. We found that the insurance
people were not in the office, apparently on an extended lunch break. Della
called and said she was about to see the doctor so Lucky and I rushed back. We
arrived just as she was entering being seen. The doctor was as pleasant as
always. Della had several questions for her and she answered them all
favorably. We are truly blessed to have a good doctor for Della here. The
doctor confirmed that our baby is a girl! She said that she was 100% sure! Then
we all went back to the insurance company and they gave me a check… I had given
them cash. We asked and apparently I have to have my passport to cash it. Then
we went to the grocery store to get some fruit juice that the doctor
recommended. After that we had to go to three different pharmacies to find all
of Della’s prescriptions. Then we went back to Apaneca to get plants for the
coffee mugs that the teens decorated on Sunday for their moms. On the way I
made my first double pass! That’s two cars I passed as if they were one as I
was going up the mountain. We couldn’t find the plant place so we stopped to
ask some guy on the street. He said he would be glad to show us if we would
give him a ride. He had an axe but we gave him a ride anyway. It turns out that
we would have never found it without his help. The plant place was cool and
they had a scaredy cat dog. After getting the plants we were all hungry & stopped
to get some icecream. We finished eating in time to get to Shucutitan for the
small group study. I taught and Lucky translated. We had it in a different
house than usual and there were about 30 people there. We gave Carlos and his
family a ride back to Ataco.
We are all tired and excited that God has blessed us with a girl.
Tomorrow we have a meeting with Hector at 7:30 AM.
