Awoke bright and early Sunday to a beautiful clear morning. We had an interesting breakfast. (first breakfast it turns out. I am beginning to feel like a Hobbit eating first and second breakfasts) We had sweet coffee served with animal crackers and some kind of greens that were to be put into tortilla and eaten. Well I had one of those so not to offend, then gladly shared the plate with the rest of the table.
Church started at 8 am and again it took 25 minutes for folks to arrive. Pablo preached another rousing sermon in Tzeltal, and then the pastor called upon the president of the lady’s society. She began a recruiting drive by talking to every lady in attendance and after 20 minutes had recruited 31 members. They then had election of officers with the pastor supervising. All the while I was thinking that this should be done at their first meeting and not during a church service, but that is just the cultural difference.
After church we had a second breakfast or maybe it was an early lunch. Pablo was asked to meet again with the elders and the new officers of the revived Lady’s Society. I decided to teach a new group of kids how to juggle. That was a big hit and I even got some ladies to try. I may have found a good ice breaker with kids and young people.
