Another month gone by, and it feels like it all happened in a day. Time has gone by so fast I can’t even distinguish one day from another. I’ve learned a lot this last month, both intellectually (with Spanish) and spiritually. I still feel like I should know a lot more. But when I think back to the first day I got here and I look now and see that I can communicate and get around (even if it’s still pretty broken Spanish) I can only thank God and give Him the glory because I am completely incapable on my own.
This past month was a busier one because we hosted an evangelistic event (a picnic) for all the people in this area. So we spent twice as much time working to prepare for all the people that would come. We had a turn out of 4,000 and it still blows my mind all that was done by God’s grace. I was part of the work crew and spent 10 hours that day outside in the sun picking up trash. Unfortunately it was really hot that day so I got pretty burnt. But it was worth it. I didn’t get any opportunities to share the gospel but it was presented many times and many of the students here had the job of handing out tracks and talking to people. I am not sure exactly how many people came to know the Lord but I know that it was close 430. God is so cool! I was so very privileged to be apart of serving that day.
Christmas is drawing near and in about two weeks I will be on a plane headed home for a month of break. I’m so excited to come home and see you all. It’s quite a blessing to get a little time with family and friends. I’m sorry this is so short but this is unfortunately all the time I have to write, right now. Please pray that God would continue to strengthen me as I learn Spanish and his word. See you shortly. Much Love.
