Guatemala Day 2 (team 6)

Well just to get started, we woke up and had breakfast at 7:00 yesterday. From there, we were to team time at 7:45 and then got to the bus by 8:50.

That morning, Ray, our fearless leader, had told us that he was ditching us because he had to prepare his lesson for that night at FUAGNEM (Fired Up And Going Nuts Ever Minute) So anyway, we got to our drama site which was a church probably a block from the park we performed at on the first day. From there we split into groups of around 10 and walked throughout the neighborhood to invite people to come to the drama.

When we got back, Aubrey started up the Cupid Shuffle and later Cha cha slide and then the Hoedown Throwdown. After completely embarrassing myself trying to dance to the Hoedown Throwdown, we started the drama. Afterwords, we had one of the girls from our team share her testimony and then I told what the drama was about and prayed for anyone that wanted to accept Christ.

After that, we got back on the bus because it had started to pouring down rain. (it's been doing that a lot recently, but this is pretty much the hardest rain I've ever been in.) So we were sitting in the bus waiting for the rain to pass when one of the girls on our team stood up and told us that she was suffering from a disease where her stomach produced too much stomach acid but her family wasn't able to afford the correct amount of medicine so she had been in horrible pain for the past few days. So we all gathered around her and prayed for healing. I'm not sure what it was, but I could totally feel God moving through us. It was crazy. I'm not sure how shes feeling now but i'll talk to her later today. :)

So from there, our other leader Brenda decided that we wouldn't do the drama because it was raining but instead, we would walk door to door to ask people if we could pray for them in the markets. So I took a group of around 10 people and our translator, Ranfis and we started to walk. after a few stores/houses, we got to this store with a 16 year old guy running it. We started to talk with him, and he asked us to pray for his family because they were going through a hard time. Then we asked him if he knew Jesus. He said kinda so we asked him if he wanted a relationship with Him and he said yes. We prayed over him and he accepted Christ.

 I ran back to the bus, grabbed a Bible and ran back. We all signed it, and Ranfis wrote a little note in it. Just as we finished giving him the bible, the rain stopped. It was almost as if God had only one purpose for that rain, and that was for us to talk to that kid (his name was Jose) Talk about divine appointments. :D But to make it better, when we walked back past his store to get to the bus, we saw him sitting down, reading his new Bible like there was no tomorrow. holy cow.

So we got back to the bus and prepared for one last drama. After performing that last one, we talked with some people and then jumped back on the bus and headed for the hotel. When we got back, we ate dinner and then had a bit of hangout time before FUAGNEM. after that, we had some more chill time where we practiced a new drama that I was invited to participate in. So, yeah... that was pretty much my day.

P.S. Aubrey just finished up her last post. :)
