or: heck yea.
So, after feeling trapped in surface level conversations (glass floor?) all day yesterday, I teamed up today with Dustin and we decided that since the Gospel happens to be the key thing in all of history and creation, we wanted to make sure we got to talk about it. So we started all our conversations thus:
"Hola, somos estudiantes de Texas y estamos en Monterrey por una semana. Estamos caminando por el campus y platicando con la gente sobre Dios, cosas espirituales y en que cree...tienes tiempo para hablar con nosotros?"
or:
"Hey, we're from Texas and we wanna talk about Jesus; you interested?"
With this approach, we got rejected a bit more (though not often), but were able to have conversations about all things deep. We talked with Christians who i had met previously, Catholics who loved Jesus and some people who believed some crazy stuff. We talked about evolution a bit, which was distracting from the focus on Jesus. We talked about existentialism and life's purpose and finding beauty and meaning in life. It. Was. Great.
The best was the last talk we had, which was all in Spanish, so Dustin and I hung on for dear life as Raul took a guy all the way through the gospel. He said he believed that and had already asked God for it; he had just had some doubts about his security in salvation... (we gave him some great reassurance)
Tonight we went to one of the homegroups here and got to hear a good talk about digging deeper into the word... and Pastor Rodger got in tonight, so he'll be with our team for the Duration..
