Montevideo, Uruguay

Today Sunday is our last full day here. So i will try to summarize everything that happened since our arrival.
The trip from Mendoza to Montevideo was very good and comfortable, the bus was a little bit old, but the service was very good, one of the best so far. You know, God is faithful in those little details.
When we arrived Laura ( who is the pastor's sister ) was waiting for us with one of the youth of the church. They took us to the Hotel. We arrived to early so the rooms were not ready yet. But finally we were able to get our rooms. it was good and nice, though there was no air condition, and for whoever don't Montevideo is HOT, and we arrived during the HOTTEST days.
The next day, we had to do some paper work ( getting visas ), and also we were able to see the city, It is a beautiful city. 
On Wednesday in the morning, we presented Judas drama in the plaza Independencia, people walking, few people just resting, but there were some Peruvians ( they work in the ships ), and also some construction workers, they do not have a house. We were able to talk at the end with one of them, his name was Marcelo, Leona share the Gospel with him, it was very nice to see the seed being planted in his heart. So pray for him, that more witnesses come to his life.
At night we started the session of teaching about Christian Counseling. There was not many people, but God knew who needed to be there.
On Thursday we went to a Park, a beautiful park with a lot of people, and kids waiting to play soccer others waiting for the swimming pool. And we use a questioner to approach people and then open doors to share with them. We put on our costumes and then we started the drama, it was good, the kids observed, and the adults from a distance were observing too, because kids were around, Leona asked me to share a bible story, and because of the short notice, the first bible story that came to my mind was about the vision of Isaiah, I told them, the kids learned it, and at the end they decided to do the same as Isaiah, "to go" to others to tell them the bible story.
At night there were more people at church for the teaching, and the work of the Holy Spirit trough the teaching became more obvious, the reaction of the people showed that.

The next morning, we went to a corner, to keep doing street evangelism, there was a lot of people but they were walking fast, rushing. Carlos and me were able to approach a young guy, who declare that he haven't ever told a lie in his life, neither stolen. He presented himself as righteous. We know that there is no one righteous. It was a short conversation, but after that, we saw a woman sit on a stair, we were led to her to talk, and it was incredible, She shared with us her life, how she was in depression, the diagnosis of the psychologist and  and psychiatrist, how she can not see her grandchild, and how she is dealing with pain, and forgiveness.
In the Christian Counseling, I learn, that many times christian people do not understand the problem or the root of the problems, but try to give answers, and We do have the truth as an answer, but if we do not know the problem we can not deliver the truth in a proper way, so I was able to just say, can i pray with you. It was a goon encounter, I hope to see her today at church. 
At night were more people, and was the last session of the Christian Counseling, they prayed a lot, it was so good, at the end we heard testimonies, and difficult situations. 

On the next day ( this is Saturday ) we went to a supermarket to invite people and pass tracts, we were able to talk with a young woman who was drinking her "mate" She was waiting i guess for the bus or something else. We talk about the mate and the customs of the people in Uruguay and Peru, after that, we talked about life and death, and if anyone is good or not. She started thinking that she was a good person, but after showing her some of the commandments she started to rethink that, she realized that no one is good. Sadly we couldn't finish the conversation, but we pray that God put some other witnesses in her life.

That evening we talk with the youth, they had their youth group, it was very nice to see young people together, and Leona was invited to talk about missions. She shared her testimony and the Faithfulness of God during her years on the mission field. I saw how that touch their lives, now they are having that in their minds, that thought "am i called to missions?".

On Sunday Leona taught about Rut, it was a beautiful message, I could see how God was touching the life of the people there. And after that we said bye to all of them. A very sweet group of people. A very nice time. A powerful God working.

 The Lord knew why He brought us, The Lord is in control, The Lord planned it from the beginning. So, Praise the Lord.
