WOW!! It is hard to believe that we are almost done teaching at the conference. Today went wonderfully. I know that as of yesterday we had 192 people registared. It amazes me how far some of these people walked for this conference. There was one family that walked an hour and a half with four kids and one of baby strapped to the mother´s back, just to come to this conference. Yet we sometimes complain about getting a parking spot in the back for the mall parking lot.
There are a few of us working with the kids. We were blessed to have a lot of people join our team who speak Spanish, if not for them I am not sure what we would do. Some of the kids today started to ask one of our translaters how do say something in English and then they would run up to me and repeat what he had told them. Seeing them try so hard makes me want to learn as much Spanish as I can. Everyone at the conference is so kind and appericative of us being here. They are also so humble. We gave out bags to the ladies with crayons, a bottle of glue and a pair of scissiors and you would think they received a new car. It makes me realize how unappericative I can be sometimes.
As for the transportation strike it is over, it kind of fizzled out here where we are with no real problem. Just another one of God´s many mircles on this trip. I can not wait till you here about all of them. This is defintaly a mission trip to remember for many reasons.
Tomorrow we will be going into two public schools to share the gospel with children there. After that we will be doing open air evanglism on the streets of the city. After that we will have a little more speaking at the conference. Please be pray for us as we look for people to share God´s love with. That our eyes will be open to those who are hurting and in pain. Also pray for our safety as we will be heading back over the mountains on Saturday. I am not sure if I will get to post again before we leave so I thank you for all your prayers.
Also my grandfather is doing well. I was not able to talk to anyone today, but my parents had to leave town and said they would only do so if he was ok. So that fact that they are out of town now tells me that he is doing well. Thank you for your prayers!!!
Wow, I need to get to bed got to get up early!!!
