Halleluiah! I just found a store that sells granola bars. Today is our day off so we are doing shopping, laundry, and other stuff. My team is partnering with a church in the slum area of San Juan, and we just got done with three days of revival services. It was pretty sweet. Nick Cameron and I each preached one of the nights. That was a new experience for me. Nick started off talking about the creation story the first night. Then Cameron and I followed the next two nights building off of the fall of man, and presenting the gospel. It was actually pretty fun.
I tell you what the local’s here LOVE loud music. The first night we got to our church on time not really knowing what to expect. It was pretty low key at first, saying prayers and stuff like that. Then a 10-piece band showed up with drums, keyboards, bass guitar, and the whole nine yards. Cameron leans over and says ” dude we are in a concrete cave, our eardrums are toast”. Yeah he was right. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun toasting my eardrums though. These people don’t mess around when it comes to worshiping God.

The slum area is very poor. Families are living in shacks the size of my bathroom at home. There is a lot of hope for it though. I can see it in the eyes of the children. About ¾ of the people that came to our meetings were children. The people are very gracious and glad that we are here. They especially like to randomly ask us to stand up and give a testimony or read some scripture or something. Tonight we are going to talk to an English class that our translator teaches, so that should be interesting………… MT
