So we went to the church this morning kinda like Youth Church… it was awesome. They’re so friendly, and almost all of the youth speak at least a bit of English, so it was really easy to talk to everyone. Also, we performed a dance in church… yep, that’s right, I danced, in church, probably illegal, but it was awesome. There may or may not have been a couple of the guys on our team with ‘dust’ in their eyes. It was a ton of fun, I’m going to try to get it filmed next time, so I can put it up on here so you can see it, it’s pretty spectacular.
After church we went out on evangelism with a bunch of the youth. I went out with one of the guys on my team, and a Mexican that translated for us, and we just went and talked with a bunch of people.
The first people we met were high, drunk, and who knows what else. But we were still able to talk to them and share God with them, it was really cool. They still understood what we were talking about, and really seemed to be receptive, even though they were completely out of it the rest of the time. It reminded me a lot of doing stuff on skid row in downtown LA, where they just need someone there to just listen to them, it was amazing to be able to be that person.
For sure the best part of the day though, we found 3 people sitting on a bench, and went up to them and asked if they had anything that we could pray for them about. The first 2 were a couple, and they said they had 3 children who were all really sick, 2 of them were in the hospital, and the other was just really sick, so we prayed for them. Then after, we went to the 3rd woman, and she said she needed surgery for something (the translator didn’t know what was wrong in English), she had diabetes, and a bunch of joint pain that caused her to not really be able to walk. So we prayed for her, and then I asked her to stand and tell me how her legs felt, she said they felt a bit better, so we prayed for her again. After, she said that she had no pain in her legs at all!!! It was amazing, God’s so good.
Hah! I want to see that video for sure. Didn't know you were such a dancer, Rachel.
