We scheduled a work day at the church for this morning. As we drove to church, I had little faith that any one would come, with the exception of our most faithful deacon. We arrived and only one person was there, an older man who is often sick. He came early and had taken down all the screens for washing. As Tina and I set out to work a few more people came. Little by little the church filled up and I realized that almost the ENTIRE church had come to work day! We even had people working that I had not seen for a month in the church services. We had about as many in church today as during last Sundays service, and they were all working!
For lunch we ate a real Puerto Rican dish: Escabeche: Chilled marinated chicken gizzards, boiled green bananas and onions in a vinegar, oil and garlic sauce! Mmmmm! Well, it really is good, it just sounds awful! The fellowship was sweet, the jokes funny and the food good. We were almost tempted to hold our church service then and stay home Sunday, since we had everyone there present Saturday morning. I hope we didn't work them to hard and that they all come back to church tomorrow!
