Day 03: Harvest

or: lol, God.

So i'm typing while Javier plays his guitarra, i may randomly break into song. Apologies in advance. Though now that i've said that, i'll probably just do it because i think it's funny.

Today was lit, as the kids say. It was straight fire. If you were praying for us, thank you. Today was the best single day of outreach i've seen at the Tec...like, ever y'all. (and from what the Uni team says, it was pretty similar for them). I was teamed up with Monica today, it was super encouraging. She did a fantastic job in the conversations we had, even shared the gospel with a girl :)

ON A DARK DESERT HIGHWAY, COOL WIND IN MY HAIR...

Other groups: Elizabeth & Evan, Kelsie & Camden, Sheryl & Grace, Travis & Scott, Riley & Matthew

Some highlights:
-One group saw two salvations!
-We met a couple of solid believers on campus (this has been historically rare), we trained one guy in how to do outreach and he may join us to share the gospel later.
-We had two teams get onto a roof and make a great connection with a guy sleeping there. Then they all got kicked off the roof.
-People were incredibly open about their views on life, their pasts, hurts, politics, faith, everything...

SHA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-TI-DA (just like that)

If i dug into all the depth of all the stories we experienced, i would run out of internet. I will tell to you, however, the last story of the day. After our day of incredibly successful outreach, Monica and i talked to a girl who, though young, had incredibly well-developed views and thoughts on the church and life and stuff. Her name was Teresa and we talked to her for quite a while. She is studying to be a chemical engineer, while taking classes online for law school. She felt that the church she grew up in was too concerned with structure and not concerned enough with loving people or creating unity in a world divided. We talked in-depth about how broken the world is and, when asked what she though the solution was, she said that if the church did its job, that would do the job. Anyway, we talked about name meanings, she said her name means "Harvest."

so that's just all i have to say about that.

now we're playing fishbowl, "papelitos," listening to Javier play, generally chillin.
