Today on our way out to a daycare to work with the children (which went great...from telling the Bible story to washing dishes after their lunch!), I talked to a lady at the bus stop for about 20 or 30 minutes. I shared the gospel with her (the best I could with God´s provision) and she shared somethings about her life. Though I did not understand alot of what she was pouring out, I sensed her desperation and that she is going through a hard time with a relationship as well as with work. Her name is Laurdes. She is moving in a few weeks from Cayambe to another part of Ecuador because she is not getting paid properly for her work. I prayed with her. We walked through town together a bit to (while finding our transportation). Before we left, I gave her a couple of tracks to further explain what we had talked about. As we said goodbye, she hugged me and cried. She asked if there was anything else I could give her to remember me. I told her just keep reading the tracks and we would be praying for her. A lady who is lost spiritually, and seemingly lost in the world. She was hungry for truth! I will most likely never lay eyes on her again, yet I don´t think I will ever forget her face. Pray for Laurdes to find the loving relationship with our Savior who, as I told her, loves her more than any other type of love in this world. Pray that someone else will enter her life and take her one more step closer to knowing the Lord.
The children´s program with the Baptist church in Tabacundo went very well this afternoon. We had 45 kids attend. We did the evangelcube, taught them some songs, told a Bible story, played games with them in the park. Then we went to the church for a video. They showed a very old fashion, spanish-dubbed version of the story of Joseph. They were given a snack and they left. Then we prayed with the 5 church members there for the children and their families as the truth enters their homes tonight through the children. Continue to pray for the baptist church here to continue the work here.
