Today, we had the morning off to sleep in a little to rest and recover. It was nice to have a short break from all of the assemblies and services. We spent the morning playing card games, exploring the village, and chasing down the base dog, Max, who is a master escape artist. After lunch at the tienda, consisting of steak stuff, rice, and guacamole, we headed out to a school assembly. This was the same school we went to on Wednesday, but today’s assembly was over 1000’s pre-teen boys, which made for an interesting assembly. The students started out with a lot of energy, which was great for the dramas and story, but made it difficult to preach. From the school we traveled to the city square/park in Chimaltengo. We set up and started off the service with some songs. This brought people in. After all of the dramas and give-a-ways, the crowd had grown to over 100 people. During the alter call, we saw many people respond to the invitation to accept Jesus. Lives were touched and the tears in their eyes evidenced it.
After tearing down and picking up all of the candy wrappers, we once again piled into the vans and the truck and went to a food court in a local shopping mall. It was just like a mall in the states except everything was in Spanish. Most of the team ate tacos and burritos from Taco bell while others had Mc Donald’s and Dominos. After supper, some of the team went to the delicious ice cream stand. During our debriefing back at base, we were informed that the street ministry had gone better than the Missionary, Jonathon, had expected because the last street ministry event was only able to draw in a total of 4 or so people. He was blessed and encouraged by the ministry that took place.
The trip is starting to take a little bit of a toll on us, but at the same time we are growing closer to God and to each other.
