Day 6: Sowing Season

So, we're not dead, circumstance just prevented me from updating last night (read: I was asleep).

We started our last day of campus outreach at the UAQ, our goal to meet back with people we had met previously and share the gospel with them if we hadn't. After lunch, we planned to head over to the ITQ. Kristina and I didn't have anybody at the UAQ to meet, so we went early to the ITQ, where we met Esthela. She said she was a part of a church, and proceeded to tell us about the time God had miraculously healed her from a heart condition that had caused doctors to say she wouldn't live past the age of 6. Well, she's 19 now, so.... We went through the gospel with her, she seemed to know the story, but not the implications of it. It's good to meet someone in a solid church here though!

Afterwards, we met up with my tocalla, Samantha. Kristina and Ana had met her before and she had some really guinine, but tough questions. We talked to her about the Bible and gave her some answers therefrom (i don't think that's a word, but i like it) to some of her questions. She was remarkably kind (we later found out she's super tough, like a Mexcian cowgirl with a truck and guns and a horse and stuff) and it was encouraging to talk to someone who was seeking God honestly...

Something I've never done before: we were invited to a professor's math classroom to give his students a "cultural experience." around 6 of us sat in a classroom of 30 and talked about culture and stuff. When we tried to take it to a more spiritual discussion, the students seemed open to it, but the professor gently redirected us (because beer and sexual innuendo was acceptable, but not religion, heh). We did make some good contacts with some of the students after the class was over though!

For dinner, we had yet another delicious meal at the Aguilar's and went to the plaza. By this time, most of us were just burned out fromt alking to people (turns out we have a team of 70% introverts), but a few groups went out and had some great conversations with the people chilling there...

Back at the hotel, we went for a little walk and bought some contraband - street tacos. They're just so delicious, we couldn't help it! But we didn't eat very many, so everyone is still feeling good this morning...
