We drove a long ways across Juarez this afternoon. We went to a neighborhood that was much more upscale than what we visited on Monday. These were tract homes built by American companies for their Mexican employees, and the companies provide security, maintenance, etc. It didn't seem like we talked to as many people today, but once again, with only an hour's notice, over 500 people showed up for the service, with at least 50 adults making a decision for Christ. Names and addresses were gathered, and the church will follow up with those people, as well as the decisions from last night.
Those of you who have been here in the past remember temperatures above 110, low humidity, and the threat of thunderstorms every afternoon. The weather here this week has been completely different from that. I asked about the weather, and they said that this region is now in monsoon season. Temperatures fall, humidity rises, and our weather here this week is almost identical to Georgia. Temperatures have been in the 90's, humidity has been in the 40 % range (except Sunday, when it was 84%), and we have not had to ask God to part any thunderstorms. We have been blessed with the most awe-inspiring sunsets you could possibly imagine. It has been incredible!
Tomorrow we spend the entire day in Mexico - there will be two different services in two different neighborhoods, one in the morning and another in the evening. It will be a busy day.
P.S. - I promised pictures, but the network here at BPS is not cooperating. We will have a great slideshow for you on Sunday night - be sure and be at church to see what God is doing in Mexico.
