Do you want a date.....?

WITH JESUS?! That's right. We are doing at outreach at Hechicera (the sciences campus) tomorrow, it's called - "Quieres una cita...?" We will have a big sign with those words on it, and when students come up to see what's going on we're going to explain to them prayer and what it looks like to talk to God, and how they can accept Jesus into their heart. We will also be handing out fliers for our weekly meeting, English club, retreat, etc....The most important thing is to get some people who are truly curious about what a relationship with Jesus looks like. Please be praying! Pray not only for the event itself, also pray that the Vida Estudiantil students who have volunteered would actually show up and that there would be more who are willing to help, especially with translating and that they would have the courage to share Jesus with their peers themselves. We are excited for this first major outreach of the year - please join us and support us in prayer! I'll let you know how it goes!

P.S. Last night for family night, Eben and I were in charge, so we decided to go all out American style and CARVE PUMPKINS. Well, that's not exactly as easy as it sounds. They don't have pumpkins in Venezuela! After traipsing all over town, we discovered the closest thing to pumpkins (they were greenish gourds of some sort) right at the store next to our house - duh!



Not only did we set up pumpkin carving, we also decided to do carmel apples. However, since we can't eat the skin of fruits we peeled them, and rather made carmel apple fondue, of sorts (we even unwrapped like 200 little carmels to melt!) This was Claudia's FIRST ever pumpkin carving experience....I'm pretty sure she liked it, although she did try to steal the pumpkin to make soup instead of carving it...haha. Sarah and I carved our pumpkin to look like Ivan (the jefe), and it came our pretty darn good! All in all it was very entertaining, and a little taste of home that goes a long way to rejuvenate our spirits and lighten our hearts. We love and miss you all at home soooooooooooo much! Thank you for your prayers!
