A day of worship and meetings-- Sunday March 6

Dane was here, too-- thanx, D for the pic

I dressed for church today in a long dress and walked to breakfast.  We had a breakfast tamale with pork inside.

Sunday school (for children) was held at 8:30 with singing in age groups.  They don't have much SS curriculum or a separate place to meet other than the sanctuary of the church bldg.  They ring the church bell really loud and long before services.  REALLY LOUD!  
Walter is preaching this morning- he hasn't exactly written anything just has made notes.  Pastor Aaron talked Gary, Dane and me into singing a trio during the offering.  We did okay, not great, not bad, just okay.  Walter did very well.  There were about 40-50 at worship which was loud and very energetic.

 Aaron is a very talented musician.  He plays the keyboard by ear and doesn't even seem to look at it while he plays.

Lunch was carne asada, carrots, small potato, squash, fried plantains and of course, rice.

 After lunch I played with Aaron, Jr (3 yrs old) while Pastor Kate accompanied Pastor Aaron on his shut in visits.

At 3, I attended the Water Board meeting to discuss their oversight issues of cost of water, salary of system operators.  This group of people will meet once a month to keep track of number of gallons of water produced/ number of bottles sold/ number of hours worked and number of classes and students taught.

While I was attending the meeting, the guys were working on the filtration system trying to get it finished by Monday so they could shock it and check for leaks.

The evening worship service was less well attended- about 20, and Walter spoke again.  There were "dueling"worship services at that time.  A Pentecostal church across the street had its amps turned up to full volume and they might as well have been in the same room.   Their volume came and went, but mostly stayed.

Supper was fajitas and an orange.

We're close to finished- one more class and the system should be working tomorrow.
