Well, I have finally started the new youth service in our San Juan Pueblo church. The service takes place on Saturdays and I picked the best Saturday night to start the service. I picked a night that the Honduran national futbol (soccer) team was playing. Even my new translator wasn´t the happiest having to miss the game. Half of the guys that showed up for the service, left after about 30 mins for the game. But it´s all good.
But Saturday CRAZY!!!!!! Only one person that agreed to show up to my meeting on Saturday morning, to get ready for service, showed up. The person that had my memory stick to add music to it for service, went out of town without telling me. I wasn´t planning on singing during praise and worship, but since there was only one other person with me at the planning meeting, I had to learn some spanish songs fast. My translator got back into town about an hour and half later than we planned, just in enough time to get ready and make to service on time. I planned time for prayer before service for the service and only one person showed for that. And everywhere I went, I saw people waering their futbol jerseys and carrying their flags. And all I could think was that I´d be lucky if one person showed up to service. Oh, I miss typed one of the songs for our transparencies for worship. But I put in the Lord´s hands and the Lord took care of everything.
We had some mess ups in service, but it went great. Everyone loved the games at the beginning of service and I hadn´t heard so many of the youth sing during worship since I´ve been here. They are usually just clapping, but Saturday they were singing. I believe I only put two people to sleep during my surmon, one of them goes to sleep in almost every service, so I felt good. All of the responses have been great since the service. Oh, and I got everyone out of service by half time of the game, so I even got the chance to see Honduras weep up on Canada.
Please pray for this new service and the youth in San Juan Pueblo. The Lord has done many things here and I can´t wait to see what else He has for this community and it´s young people. Thank you to all for you continued prayers!!!!
Take care and God Bless
