Saturday Night

Tonight we went out to dinner with a young couple friends of ours. They have a seven-year-old boy. We went to a very out of the way restaurant. The dirt road was gone this time. Some times there was only room enough for one car, and a car coming the opposite way had to wait. Between the dust and the headlights, it was hard to see. Some of you would not have ventured it unless you had an ATV. Anyway, we made it, and had a great local dinner-white rice, black beans, steak, fried plantains with guacamole topping (great combination). We talked a lot about the town and its need. They had some great suggestions, mainly that computer training and activities for the youth are the greatest needs.

They were worried, because we haven't been here for such a long time, that we were going to sell the condo and not come back, but we told them that we are here to stay until the Lord tells us otherwise. We had brought them some things they wanted, praise CD's in Spanish, Spanish children's Bibles, and a Christian movie. They wanted those things for a small church in another town. They also told us that there is a boys' soccer team, so we will give them the jerseys that were donated. Thank you, Jean. They paid for dinner. We had to let them do it because it is just the right thing to do.

It was a delightful evening of good food, good conversation, getting reacquainted with our friends.
