God has already started to use me and I have only been here four days. I did not think things would get going until monday just because that is when we are supposed to go and pass out boxes with venancio (he is the local pastor we work with or more like evangelist). Venancio also works with pastors in teaching them, he does vbs's and goes out almost every night of the week to do a bible study with a church sometimes close by sometimes hours away. He has a great attitude about it always and is always excited about serving God. Anyways back to how God is already using me, I went to the park just down the street tonight to see if I could meet some people and make some friends. I feel that is a great way to minister because while going to churches is great the people in the church already have knowledge of God and the people in the park most likely do not know about God. So I met a family and started talking with them for probably about an hour. This family was telling me how important it was for Mexicans in Cancun to learn English. They said it costs about 300 dollars in american money for one month of classes, they only get to go for about an hour once a week maybe twice. Now that seems like a lot of money for so few classes. So I am thinking and praying about starting a school where I live teaching English as a second language using bible verses. I would really love if you all would pray with me and if you had any ideas on what projects I could do to keep it interesting that would be great.
