Spanish or English

This week we talked about spiritual warfare and intercession. Our teacher was named Clemente Duran and he is from Tepic. He and our teacher from the teaching about righteousness, Roberto, are going to be working with us in two weeks when we are going to be in Tepic. It was a very good week. On Thursday morning we went to the mall about five minutes from our house to practice evangelism. I was in a group with Dina, Levi, and Heather. We walked around and through a series of events that God had to have orchestrated we had the chance to talk to a man named Eusebio. We talked to him for a long time and through this time he came to accept Jesus as his Savior. It was an amazing experience.
This week during our workshops we learned many dramas to music that we will be doing during our outreaches. They are fun to do, and will be very effective in street ministry. One of them is about the Good Samaritan, another is about how with God we need to be real and not wear a mask. They will be fun to do.
We also heard about what we are going to do in Tepic a little bit. We are planning to do street ministry and also help some visiting doctors. We are also planning to do preaching and teaching in the churches. They also told us that they are going to need all of us that are bilingual to translate and help the only English-speaking doctors translate. So, this week my Spanish class began to practice translating as much as we can. We are now trying to speak in Spanish as much as we can, so we can become more and more fluent. It is cool to see how God can use this.

Hey Chloe,

Did you ever think you would be used to bring someone to Christ like that with Eusebio? I know that what you experienced is hard to translate to those of us who weren't there. But it's okay! Thanks for sharing

Love you,
