School Days

What a day! We all woke up this morning to a LOT of rain. It rained all night here and it didn't stop until this afternoon. This morning was the first early morning we had. Last night Nate and I moved into a new host home, because the kids in the house were begging their mom to let us stay so we switched. Turns out the family speaks no English at all, and they can't understand our Spanish.  We rely on hand signals and smiles. At about 8 a.m., me and a team of about 12 departed for a school about 30 minutes outside the city. When we arrived, the kids were very excited and surprised to see us. In groups of about 5 we went into separate classrooms to speak to the kids. One person shared their testimony, and a couple people described the differences between man and God, and how we can have a relationship with God. It was obvious that God was giving us the words to say because they paid attention to everything that we said! Other groups of people went to other schools, and spoke in multiple classrooms at the same school. This morning we spoke to 5 classrooms alone, and this is just day one! The atmosphere here is very alive. Everybody on the team is eager to go out and speak to more people, and we are going to another school this afternoon to speak to even more schools. This is a strong team, and I have a lot of great friends here! Nate and I are crazy roommates, actually he is the crazy one. Sammy had the great idea of keeping a "captains log" or journal that all the boys keep. We are making amazing progress here spreading God's grace and love. Happy late fathers day to my dad! I miss you and love you Mom, Dad, Shannon, and Phil. Keep praying!  ~Sam Potter
