RE: Uruguay

Hey everyone!

Wow we have 3 days until we are back home how crazy is that? I have just spent the last 6 weeks of my life talking with students for around 5 hours a day. Being on my campus i realized the importance for what we are doing here. In the USA we can easily have 5 christian groups on a campus, but here in Argentina and all over the world they are lucky if there is one Christian movement in their city. God has really blessed our ministry here with over 1,100 spriritual conversations and almost 700 gospel presentations. Out of those 700 Gospel presentations 23 people came to know Christ and accept him as Lord of their lives. Wow is a word I use a lot but here it is the only one that suffices. God has shown up over and over again in our trip. He has blessed us with an awesome hotel that was actually sad to see us go. One of ourmaids actually made us a cake before we left. He blessed us with these 23 students who accepted Christ. He blessed us with awesome leadership that has been just so amazing through this whole trip. We are still being blessed because God has used us to reach students that had never heard the gospel, and a lot of these students are being followed up by the national staff in Buenos Aires.

This past week has been a blur from painting one of the campuses to tying up loose ends. We spent days upon days painting the agronomia campus, and this lead to us being able to share the gospel with students that were really surprised that people from the USA would want to come serve them this way. I personally was able to share the gospel with 8 students this way. This past week we also had a our " going away party" it was a time of crying besoing and hugging. We were able to share the ways that God has been teaching and expanding our knowlege of him, and the Argentines were able to share just how thankful they were for us. Please keep praying for our friends we made in Buenos Aires some are still searching for the truth and also pray for others that have found the truth and are now learning how to deepen their relationship with God. Pray for the national staff that have this new rush of student contacts.

See yall in a few days I would love to go to lunch or dinner when I get back,

We are just 12 days away from leaving Argntina. We have 4 more days on campus(including today). This is insane I cant believe how fast these 6 weeks have flown by. By the grace of God I only have been sick once, and it lasted for like a day and a half. God has continued to renew my mind and body as I am on this project. I have enjoyed this experiance far more than I thought I would have. God has given me the chance to talk with around 100 students and to share the gospel with around 40 of those students. I am so excited about what God is going to be doing for these last few days we have on campus. These past few weekends we have had the chance to do various types of ministry including orphan, homeless, painting and repairing a church, and painting one of the campuses here. In all of these things we have seen God's amazing plan come to end. ove 20 people have come to know how to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus.  Keep praying hard cant wait to see you all

I cant express how amazing this is

So This past week went by faster than any yet. I am so surprised by how amazing it has been here. Starting off on Monday I was feeling a little discouraged to be totally honest, but God shows up in mysterious ways. The campus I am on has a few buildings and we normally try to get into gospel conversations in the design school. But on Monday Sarah and I decided to go walk around in the science building. There we found a student in the cafeteria. Throughout the survey and throughout the gospel presentation this custodian kept coming over. I didnt think that we were going to get anywherem, but this student became extremly excited and although she didnt accept Christ she wants to meet up more and talk through the gospel and where she stands in Gods awesome love story. Then on Thursday David and I were seaching for students who could speak english, and by searching I mean we would have taken anybody that knew even a little bit. God and his awesome providence hadf a student waiting for us we did the survey and it was obvious that she was wanting to hear the gospel. once we were done with telling her about everything that God has for her she said she wanted to lead a Christ centered life, but didnt know if she could yet. Even through this was a bittersweet conversation we were able to rest assured that God is going to take care of her. We have a meeting with her later this week so pray that her heart would be open to the gospel and that she would be ready to become one of God's kids.

Keep up the prayers thanks for them they are working! 15 students have accepted Christ!
