Primera Semana

Hola Todos!

The first week is over, and it was a roller coaster. I mentioned in my last post that I was feeling sick, but thought I was over the illness. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I had picked up a parasite that kept me out of group activities for three days, and made the other two days fairly misserable. However, I want to be out making a difference, so I toughed it out.

On the three days I missed, the group went into campuses extra hard. On the first night one of the girls of the group brought two guys to a personal relationship with Jesus! Also, the group has consistently found movement leaders on almost all of the campuses we've visited. When I say almost, I'm just being cautious about one of the potential leaders not panning out. We've found people on every campus. Even a campus that seems to be dead to the thought of Jesus Christ which I've had the privilage of going to on Friday and today. On Friday, a fellow project member and myself found one of two Christians on campus. The girl seemed to be very excited in our interest in getting a Christian movement on her campus. However, she seemed skeptical because her campus is very against religion. Pray for her, her name is Maria. Today I didn't have as much success on that campus. I only had the oppertunity to sit down and talk with a guy named Balam. He danced around questions that I asked him about Spiritual and religious beliefs. However, earlier today on another campus, the project director and I found two guys who are strong believers. The story of how we found them is worth telling, and proof the God is working through our project. We were not allowed to talk to students on this particular campus, so the project director started praying for something supernatural to happen so we could have some contacts on this one campus (the name slips my mind at the time). After his prayer, as we are walking away along the outside wall, the project director sees a car with a bumper sticker that reads in Spanish "There is nothing in this world that I love more than my God". He and I then went at talked to the man and the family in the car. The man happened to have two sons at the college who are strong Christians, as the whole family is, and he said he would make sure we got in contact with his sons. It took Joe, the campus director, three minutes to convince this man to have his sons join Enfoque Mexico. It was amazing to see the joy on this man's face. God works miracles. Believe it!

In other news with our group, last Thursday and Friday we were filmed doing evangelism on campus. A TV station has taken to what we are doing and is partnering with Enfoque Mexico to get the word out about the movement!

For a little site seeing we went out to some idigenous pyramids this weekend. They are called the Teotihuacán Pryamids. It was amazing to think that I was visiting a site that still stood strong centuries after the Teotihuacán's died off. However, the cool part comes from my shopping experience. As I was looking for souviners, I met vender who is in college at one of the schools we've been visiting. His name is Ivan, and I have been in contact with him several times already since Saturday. He is very interested in spending time together, and I have a feeling that he would be very interested in what Enfoque Mexico is all about. If anything else, it prooved to me that God does not ever take a vacaction, even when I might. Keep praying for the group and those that we encounter. It is evident from down here that God is working on the hearts of Mexicans and guiding our group to those who want Christ or want to make a difference.

Regardos,
