Training and Inviting

Day 2

Today was filled with training and inviting.  First thing this morning we met with a leader in the ayuntamiento (remember... city hall) who gave us fliers that outlined rules for cleaning up after your pets, loud music, where to put your trash, and other things like that.  We had volunteered to do any project that they needed and this was their request.

Part of the rationale behind these projects is that we all are wearing the same t-shirt (yep, laundry every

night) and the community begins to associate our willingness to help the community, our attitudes, our smiles, our laughter, etc with the evangelistic activities that will occur later in the week.  We are a little "weird" in the eyes of Spaniards and activities such as this morning help erase some of that image.

This afternoon (of course after a siesta) there was training on how to give your testimony in two minutes.

Then tonight everyone went back out and began inviting people in the streets, plazas, and parks to the activities later in the week.

To separate ourselves from Jehovah Witnesses,
part of the campaign is a blood drive.

Activities for the coming 10 days include a blood drive, Gospel Choir Concert,
Summer Movie (El Poder Del Perdón is the movie Grace Card in Spanish),
Basketball Tournament, Bible Festival, and an open aire expo.
