Today was our second full day in Monterrey. After we got in, we relaxed for the night and met the families we are staying with and then got some rest. The family I am staying with is wonderful.. I am living with a new leader, Omar, his brother Edgar, Edgar's wife Jennifer and their daughter Sofia. The first night I was here, Sofia gave me her copy of "Green Eggs and Ham" to read while I was here.
Thursday we went to the Uni; La Universidad Autonima de Nueva Leon. We walked around the campus and prayed. Afterwards, we went to hangout and played pictionary (in Spanish).
Today we went back to the Uni and began to do some cold-call evangelism/contact collecting. We met a LOT of people who seemed very interested in the church. Sheryl met a couple of really cool girls and one of them gave us tickets to come see the baseball game.
After the first day here, I think the most helpful thing we can do here is to share the evangelism methods we've learned and encourage the church here in their efforts at evangelism and discipleship. Though the Americans on campus are interesting to talk to, the students here are more comfortable and connect better with the believers in the church. The harvest here is indeed plentiful; and the sooner new believers can be trained in evangelism and discipleship, the sooner there will be more workers.
Yeah! You made it!
