| | Good morning to all!
We are in "Semana Santa" (Holy Week), where most Uruguayans have several days off. The saying here is that the country doesn't start to function until after Holy Week (after "stopping" in December when school is over for summer vacation). Holy Week then gets called a lot of different things in our society: Tourist Week (a lot of people travel, go camping, etc.), Beer Week (there's a festival in the city of Paysandú), Tour of Uruguay Week (a bicycle race all around the country), and Rodeo Week (there's a week-long exhibition at the Prado stadium).
We are just taking things easy and enjoying the "time off". We don't have Bible Institute classes this week, but we do have other activities that we are involved in. I'm hoping to get some back projects caught up, plus do some furlough planning (I hope the last stages of that!).
Meanwhile, we are "on edge" waiting for Tania's baby to be born. The doctor's and midwife's prediction is April 11, but our oldest daughter, Teresa, predicted April 20. Tania wants it to be NOW! We got a picture of her yesterday, showing a pretty good-sized belly. The baby's head has also dropped into position. This will be our first granddaughter, Kathleen Joy: "Katy".
We had a special service on Palm Sunday. There is a men's camping outing during this week (until Thursday), but neither Keith nor I went. On Saturday, the ladies of our church are going to Teresa Ripoll's house in San Luis. I might have to provide transportation for that. We are having a special service for Easter also.
Last Saturday, we had our second "singspiration" meeting. We decided to have them every time there is a fifth Saturday in a month. So, March had a fifth Saturday. We had a long time of singing, a question and answer time (the church members asked questions, and the church leaders tried to answer them), and (of course) food. It was a great meeting.
Well, got to run. Have a great day.
