Wednesday Night

The day was every bit as exhausting as we thought it would be. Our first location this morning was not nearly as fruitful as we had hoped, but still a pretty decent turnout. Tonight's meeting was not quite as well attended as Monday and Tuesday, but it seemed that a lot more people were engaged in one-on-one witnessing situations, and a higher percentage of the crowd indicated that they prayed to ask Christ into their heart. Both neighborhoods were comparable to the first night - the housing was pretty rundown, but not to the level of the cardboard and pallet houses that fill some neighborhoods. We had been mildly disappointed that the weather had been so good, because we wanted to see God hold a storm off. Well, we got to see it tonight. The thunder started rolling before we even started visitation this afternoon, but we never got one drop of rain until we were on our way back to the compound after the service.

It was announced tonight that yesterday in the print shop, we assembled over 2500 John/Romans booklets, and nearly 15,500 New Testaments. We (the three churches here this week) are the largest group they have had all summer.

Thursday we will go to the market in Juarez and pass out literature, and shop for souveniers. Then we will return to the compound and start getting ready for our return trip home.

For you parents reading this, please know that none of your kids has fallen sick from eating or drinking too little. The worst issues we've had to contend with have been a mild headache here and there, largely due to sinus issues and simply being tired, and having sore feet. It has been a fantastic week all around.
