2nd Clinic

As Ricky promised last night...here are is the update from yesterday..."the lost pages of the Uruguay Team diaries". We have a couple of guest bloggers to fill you in..


Hola Hombres! This is Laura here. I am going to tell you about, yesterday´s successful clinic, our second clinic, but our first in Rio Bronco. We saw a total of one hundred and four people. Eladio did an amazing job caring for the patients. The clinic ran smoothly and everyone did their job. Becca, McKay, and MaryAnn were in prayer together. Many people who came to pray with them were saved, about ten to fifteen plus some re-dedications. The Children´s Ministry was amazing. All the kids were so loving and friendly. You could really tell how grateful the people were to have us there with them. God´s work was amazing in how he touched the lives of those who accepted him.

During the clinic some of the team took a walk into the community to do some street evangelism. Some locals took us to a plaza, which was the center of town! We did some crowd gatherers and several dramas and testimonies. It was a great opportunity to take a break from the clinic and get out into the town to share God´s message. Here is Jordan, being tossed up into the air as one of our crowd gatherers.

Whats Happening? Hey this is Greg DeS. First, it is almost impossible writing this message to you because I have to literally pound the keyboard with my fingers. Its really frustrating. Yesterday´s service was pretty cool. We had some Brazillians we met the night before in the plaza walk like 5 miles with a bunch of their friends to the service. I don´t know about you, but I would not walk 5 miles in this cold on a Saturday night. I would be hanging out with my friends in a nice warm house watching a movie and cooking a pizza. Simply amazing. The service was great and even though the worship was in Spanish, we could understand everything perfectly; their joy, their passion, and their love. It was sweet the amount of energy they expelled praising the Lord. I don´t know the number of people saved that night and I don´t think we will ever know, but this I do know, God was praised wholehearted. I think what I will miss most are the friendships I have made with the people in the church. Their hospitality and warmth is awesome. I just wish the language barrier was not preventing conversations other than me llamo Greg.

This was taken after our night service. Here we have our group with some of our Brazilian friends and church friends mixed in. We had lots of fun goofing around after service, just having a time of fun ad fellowship.

After service, we went to eat at our favorite Brazilian buffet restaurant. The owner has always been so hospitable. When we were ready to leave, he made us all sit back down for a surprise. He was so proud to bring out a hat for every person on our team, featuring the name of his restaurant. He taught us to say thank-you in Portugese, "Obrigado".
