Our last few days have been busy. As I mentioned on the last blog, we spoke on the radio Thursday night. On Friday, we visited more people and had another conference that night at church. This time John shared his testimony and talked on John 17, then Carlos closed with a call to rededicate ourselves. Everybody in attendance came forward. On Saturday morning, the conference was divided into three groups: Rosario had the women, John and Carlos took the men, and I had the young people. All three audiences participated. People shared concerns. The meetings were good. We had lunch at church, then we had another meeting at church all together. Carlos spoke this time.
Today, adults and young people met together for Sunday School, and Rosario shared about all the things that are threatening the family structure around us. After a short break for coffee, we went into the sanctuary because the Sunday School room was too crowded. The four of us answered some of the questions that the congregation had sent us two weeks ago. It took a little longer than planned, so we were already running late for the worship service, but it isn't a big deal in Latin cultures. We had a full worship service; Carlos preached the last message about the family. We finished at about one o'clock, then we again had lunch at church. There are about four families who were in the restaurant business, so the food is very good. As I said before, we have been eating good Cuban food all week and probably have gained about ten pounds each.
Tonight we will go out to eat once more at another family's house, and tomorrow we will go to Miami Beach to visit an old friend from Cuba. We will spend the night at her house, and then leave for Costa Rica on Tuesday. Pray for traveling mercies and for the Lord to take what we shared at this church and use it to bless the families.
