Alvaro took Mom and I out today to visit as many villages other than Candelaria with only 2 days left in my mom's trip. I knew we would be back to Candelaria for Sunday services so I wanted her to see as many other places Saturday would allow.
I took her by the goat ladies place, and then out to Bethel. She had fun visiting with Yahaira's and Daniel's family. Rosa and Yorlene's mom was out visiting in Bethel and had her 17-day old daughter, Veronica, with her.
We went on to visit with Pastor Pablo and his family in Guanacastal. Mom was happy to see he had been using the bike that First Baptist Church of Boone bought him. They lost a lot of fruit trees and their TV antenna in the storm, but the house held up pretty well.
From here we went to Santa Matilde. Mom got to meet 3 of the youth group girls and some other kids from the village. A few small trees were down, but we didn't see any really bad aftermath of the storm here. Victoria Zapata's yard had a big limb down but it missed her house and her chickens were enjoying it.
Mom got to reunite with Laura for dinner. Laura served as my mom's translator in January and they have kept up through email since. Her friend, and a translator for us with some larger groups, David, joined Mom and I for dinner. We stayed out til around 10 pm fellowshipping in the park infront of the big cathedral.
