Day ?????

I don't even know what day it is anymore, but I can tell you where I'm at. I'm on my way to Santiago, Chile but only half way there. This morning one of the missionaries from Uruguay drove me about five hours to Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is where I'm at now. I will be leaving in only a few hours!
This week has been an intense week. I mentioned earlier that I have been speaking almost everywhere I go. Well, I have continued to do so. Tuesday I went to the small city of Young, about an hour away, and had the opportunity to preach. This city has no evangelical church but hast a handful of believers. In the slide show above you will see the picture of myself and three elderly people. They came to the midweek service, which Sergio Duarte runs. They were so thankful to have me there and to have me preach. I can not tell you what an encouragement they were to me! Their faithfulness to the Lord was such an example. One lady (in the picture to my right), Julia, was learning to read for the first time but by using the Bible. How awesome is that! No better way to learn to read than by using God's own Words!
Wednesday morning, I had the opportunity to challenge the camp counselors in a short devotional. I admit that I was so tired from the night before, that my Spanish began to fail me at times. I'm so rusty! Wish I could use it more consistently. At any rate, the rest of the day was spent either helping set up games, reffing games, or taking part in the games! We had an evening activity where the different cabins had to accomplish certain objectives at eight different zones. However there were bandits roaming about! Yep, I took part in that responsibility. Scaring people seems to be on one of my fortes. Maybe it's the Peruvian in me coming out! Anyway, the kids loved it. I'm thankful to God for having allowed me to work at Camp Calvary a few years ago. Many of the ideas for the game came from my time working at Camp Calvary.
