February now!

Happy February everyone! I cant believe our first month here is over already! This week we have been staying at Darios church (he is one of our Argentine friends who is always with us helping in anyway he can, he also learns our dances/dramas insanely fast) which has been an interesting setup. The church only has one main room and then Dario and his family live upstairs. So we girls sleep on the stage and the guys take the rest of the sanctuary. Due to the lack of readily available showers I am not going to mention how long it has been since I have been completely clean, but I am learning to live like a missionary : ).
This past Tuesday we got to take a short sight-seeing trip to the main city part of Buenas Aires. Our friend Diego gave us a tour around the club soccer stadium, the harbor, and lots of creatively painted houses (by creatively I mean with as many colors as possible). That evening we traveled two hours by bus to a tiny newly planted church to do a presentation and pray for/encourage the people there. Wednesday we joined with our Impact team and went to present with another church which has a hip-hop dance team. We combined our three teams and minstered together. It was a cool evening, everything went well and many people came back with testimonies about how God used them to llead others to Christ. We may be working with this church again later, which I would love, they are a lot of fun.
Thursday brought the inevitable Kids Club again, and quite a bit of stress for me. I was team leader this week (we take turns) so I was in charge of the planning and preparing. It really wasnt that bad except that the first day, none of our helpers (as in people who could speak Spanish to the kids) showed up until half an hour after we started..and then there were only three of them. At least we only had 45 kids, any more than that and I dont know what we would have done. The rest of the week ran like the others, Kids club on Thurs, Fri, and Sat. until 1pm, then teaching evangelism to the teens of the church. Friday we did some street evangelism with them and got to have some interesting conversations with people. Since we break off into groups we always gather together at the end and share about what our experiences were like. There is always a mixture of people who received the gospel and those who just wanted to talk, but for the most part everyone loves to hear what we say - which surprises me in a way.
Yesterday we had a big event in another plaza. We spent the afternoon doing evangelism in the street and inviting people to the event in the evening. We did some presentations, talked to people, and then played Chronicles of Narnia with a projector on a sheet in the middle of the plaza. All in all the evening went well despite some discouragement after our earlier presentations in the afternoon each had something go wrong. We were all rather distracted that night or something, but after lots of prayer, we approached the evening with new attitudes and everything ran smoothly..for the most part (it would be nice if we could control when the stray dogs decide to perform with us or keep them from marking all of our equipment!).
Today as always is our day to relax as much as possible in the presence of lots of guests at the church. Sadly, Jen is not with us at the moment in the internet cafe because she woke up this morning feeling very sick. Hugo was sick earlier so she might have caught what he had. Please keep our health in your prayers, it seems like someone is always sick with something.
