looked at her watch and sighed. “I don’t know if anyone else is going to show
up Rosa. We’ve been waiting for an hour already.” Said Rosa’s best friend
Linette. “You don’t know that Linette. People might just be running late”
Replied Rosa. “I don’t know about that. We said 3 o-clock not 4.” Replied
Linette. “Oh I guess you’re right. No is going to show up.” Said Rosa. Linette
and Rosa got up and started to clean up the stuff they had gotten out for the
bible study. “I am so sorry Rosa. I thought people would show up. Maybe God
doesn’t want you to tell what people can do through a bible study.” “It’s Not
your fault Linette. Maybe we were too pushy or something. I just wish-“ Rosa was interrupted by a phone
call. “Hello,” Rosa said into the phone, “Yes, uh-huh, oh sorry. Bye.” “Who was
that?” Asked Linette. “It was Pastor Paul. He said that his daughter was hoping
to see me at the service today.” Replied Rosa. “Did you know there was
something going on at church today, Linette? “Not that I can re-. Wait my mom

“But
mom! I am old enough to go by myself!” Whined Rosa. Mrs. Shmitt had asked Rosa
to go to the store to get food for dinner with Pastor Jake. Now Rosa was
standing her mom’s bedroom protesting. “Enough of the whining Rosa. I want you to go
with someone, and that someone is Pastor Jake. I am too tired to go, your dad
is working, and your sister and brother are gone. Now that is final. Now go and
ask Pastor Jake to go with you before I go ask him myself.” Replied Mrs.
Shmitt. Knock Knock. “Come in” Said Pastor Jake. “Um Pastor Jake…I was
wondering if you wouldn’t mind waling with me to the market. I have to get some
food for my mom. And my mom doesn’t want me to go alone.” “Of course. I just thinking
of getting up and stretching my legs.”
