LAST Ministry Day!

Hey there...

we´re here to report on our very last ministry day of the Uruguay mission trip!

First, Teresa will share something from today´s clinic:

-this next post is from mama teresa, but mckay is typing it. mama wrote it all down, but if there are any spelling mistakes or errors, blame it on mckay.

the clinic was slow today but the highlight was when two boys off the street came in after being seen by the doctor, they came over to the prayer station and we talked to them until they were comfortable. we were just going to pray for their physical needs but then i felt we should ask if they had jesus in their heart. the translator, katie, felt like she should ask if they had heard of jesus. one of they boys, esteban, said he didnt know who jesus was, but over the past week many people had mentioned jesus to him. katie told him the story of jesus and all he did for us and asked if esteban wanted to accept jesus into his life. he fully understood that he was guilty of sin and he very willingly accepted jesus christ ino his heart. i saw a homeless boy soften and change right before my eyes...walk well done.

Next, McKay is going to write about a vey funny activity we did today, but first I give you a photo of Angel and Laura demonstrating their jump roping skills during some ministy in the park.

This is McKay...Today we had a pretty slow clinic. The leaders decided we should do a fun activity to get our blood flowing, and the activity was...
another drama with a twist.
our biggest drama, in the beginning, requires a lot of people. so... we all picked numbers out of a hat. all of the roles were numbered 1 through 14, and 15 was a wild card. here is the list of people and their roles.
(role) role they had before switch, name, (role) role after switch

(here are¨"Adam & Eve". We laughed so hard, it was nuts!)
(God), Tiger, little girl -he put on my size small hot pink shirt and skipped with a little doll the whole drama
(Jesus), Greg, Eve
(Satan), Ricky, Adam

(Adam), Jake, karate guy
(Eve), Amy, Jesus

(mime), Austin, mom
(mime), Savannah, karate woman
(mime), Angel, God
(mime), Laura, soccer player
(-----), Jordan, mime
(karate guy), Paul, mime
(karate woman), Jenny, mime
(soccer player), Becca, mime
(little girl), McKay, Satan
(Mom), Taylor, WILD CARD, - she could do anything she wanted to using any props and could come in at any moment.

Anyways... that was absolutely hilarious seeing Tiger be the litle girl along with Ricky and Greg having to be Adam and Eve and love each other. But, people seemed to think that my being Satan was pretty out of character compared to the litle girl. Everyone had fun with it and Leah filmed it the whole time. It was a blast.

And now we have Jordan to tell you about our plaza adventure today!

WOOO! we decided to head out to the park to go and minister. we have such a short time left why not use it to the fullest? we were informed that we were going to be going to a plaza. so everyone grabbed their drama shirt and put on a smile. we started walking with a group of about thirty including close friends from the church and 3 missionaries that are living in Uruguay. keep in mind that we are in a city environment.. nothing short of the amount of chaos on the Las Vegas strip. trying to stay together was a large task in itself. a constant flow of traffic on the sidewalk going up and down, the loud and angry cab drivers, yelling from the stands on the side of the streets to buy a matte, it is an everyday life for these people. so we pass the plaza we had been at yesterday...32 blocks and very sore feet later we had arrived at the new plaza we were going to perform in. gathering crowds was not the hard part, it was keeping their interest. We had the help from the local missionaries, they blew fire, juggled fire, and rode around on a unicylce! It was great!!!! we performed hats, in the begining and dead man. some were interested, some listened, and some kept walking. it was told to us by a local that never has such a large crowd been drawn because the locals are so un-interested. He was impressed with how many people gathered around and watched us. So many people kept coming that we gave TWO different invitations to accept Christ, instead of just one. We packed up, and headed out. I think that the sidewalks grew and extra 10 blocks or that we took the long way home. a plastic chair back at our destination has never felt so great.... :D

Hopefully we will get a post in from Miami the day after tomorrow. Our plane leaves for Buenos Aires at 5:00 PM tomorrow. GOOD NIGHT!!!!!
