Confianza en Dios

"EVERYONE, WELCOME TO BUTTCHEEK PARK!!!" as CJ bellows every morning during our stroll to campus.  Good thing the majority of the Ecuadorians can't speak English...and for those that do, we apologize!

Today was and is an absolute scorcher but we are in our rooms now which makes it somewhat better other than the fact that the cleaning ladies always turn our air off...so we come back to a hot room.  It is almost always cloudy but that doesn't stop the sun from getting through.

So today was campus sharing after taking a break yesterday to do church outreach.  *FLASHBACK* In our first day of campus sharing on Monday we were able to share the Gospel with 3 students but couldn't finish the booklet with them so we arranged to meet again on Tuesday.  Tuesday came and left us discouraged as they were no shows.  But we couldn't keep our heads down, because it's not that uncommon.  All I could do was pray that maybe we got through to them in the short time we had or that our paths would cross again.  *FLASHFORWARD*

Hannah and I were exploring the campus, looking for undiscovered hot spots for sharing when lo and behold behind us we hear...."Hannah! Jeremy!"  We turn around to see one of the 3 guys...unfortunately we could not remember his name but I'm surprised he remembered ours!  He went on to apologize for the no show and I think it was because of class or miscommunication.  He speaks really fast in Spanish.   He went on to explain he still wanted to talk more.  He showed the booklet to his sister and she was interested in hearing more as well! Long story short, he wanted to come to campus tomorrow with his sister, despite having no classes, to talk some more!  Can I just say praise God?! Oh and he speaks English...we find this out after I struggled for 5 minutes to communicate plans with him.

And He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.” (Acts 1:7)

His timing is perfect.  God is at work on the campuses and it's awesome to be a part of His plan!

Pray for our time on campus tomorrow :)
