Midnight Thoughts

I woke up a little while ago and thought it would be a good time to update my blog. Hope all is well at home and everyone is going about their day happily.
Yesterday was a long and very interesting day. Igor, Marianna, Anna, Charlie and I went to a small village--where Igor started another church--to visit missionary friends who are continuing in that church. They are a sweet young couple, Sergio and Tatianna, with a precious little daughter of 2 1/2. They live in 2 rooms in back of the sanctuary. Laura, the daughter, entertained us and made me miss my grandchildren even more. They gave us some juice, they had made and then we went into the yard and saw the rabbits they raise--huge rabbits! I took pictures, but Igor's laptop over heats easily, so I am afraid to try and put them on the blog. I will show them when I get home.
The family went with us to 3 other places, each different than their own. The first was a farm with ducks, chickens, cows, a hugh pig and a very hard working woman with 2 young sons. Her husband works in Russia to make money for the family, so she is left to work the farm. I cut both her sons' hair and Sergio, hair as well. While I was doing that, the lady, Loba, Marianna and Tatianna washed tomatoes, cut up homemade bread and brought out homemade cheese and apricot preserves and prepared our lunch. I still can't believe how willing these people are to share what little they have! By the way, the bathroom was in an outhouse, with just a hole in the floor. That was most interesting!
Next, we went to a home of a lady who is a member of Sergio's church and fairly well to do. Her husband is very capable-he is in construction and did a beautiful job on their home--but, he drinks way too much. You could see how lonely she is. She gave us cookies and coffee and we talked and prayed with her. Another home and lady were the same way, and I cut her hair. She gave us refreshments, too. We felt like we had eaten all day!
A huge electrical storm blew up then so then we returned home to a delicious meal prepared by Barbara, Marianna's mother.( Steve, she makes the best fried squash I have ever tasted. I will have to fix it for you.)
The weather was very hot and extremely humid, so , after a week and a half of comfortable weather, the heat is upon us!!
Take care and God bless you!
