Palarmo

The trip to Palermo in Buenos Aires for the Day of the Student went very well. About 400 students from the bible institute went on buses to the Capitol of Argentina and broke up into about 10 groups and spread out over Palermo (= to time square…only bigger). In each group there were about 4 open-air preachers (in spanish) and everyone else went and street witnessed. At the end of the day, 1477 people had made a first time decision for Christ as their Savior. Praise GOD! I personally didn’t get to lead anyone to Christ, but that’s quite alright with me. Everyone here, well, almost everyone, is Catholic. I’d say about 90% of the population...which was just seconded by my roommate. It was quite an experience. I’m sorry i didn’t get any pictures taken, but i sort of like my camera.

The PBB (bilingual bible program aka. the English speaking students) have gotten their work and sports assignments. I have mayordomia which is like house keeping. On Friday i cleaned all the men’s bathrooms and Saturday i moped and waxed some floors. It’s not too bad…actually i think it’s the easiest job to have here. However, it is sort of gross when you have to sweep up toilet paper because there’s no trash can in the stall. In most south American countries, the plumbing isn’t good enough to flush toilet paper, so they put it in the trash can next to the toilet, however, sometimes there isn’t a trashcan and then it just goes on the floor. You may all smile now J. I’ll write more as more happens, comment some prayer requests if you’d like and keep me connected with you all through prayer. Chao!
