After a long day of passing out flyers, we decided to go get a victory treat! A local panaderia was close so we swung by without reservation. :]

To make a long story short…

1) We saw a rack of books in the shop and one book caught our attention–it was a book about idolotry, Babylon and the Virgin Mary.

2) Speaking with the shop owner we found out that he was a member of a non-denominational church and was very aware of many of the problems that the Catholic faces. He was also very interested in the book of Revelation! We ended up giving him a Great Controversy. (Of course we invited him to the evangelistic series we are having on the book of Revelation :p)

3) He ended up coming to the series with his wife, but he also brought pastor with him!

Everywhere and anywhere there are souls waiting for an invitation to hear the truth, even at a panaderia shop!

We also got free pan dulce…

Something I’m Grateful for: Spanish brothers and sisters!

There is a young church plant growing in our church! It is really inspiring to see the primitive faith growing in our local SDA church 🙂 We’re trying to brush up on our Spanish so we can give some testimonies without having Abraham translate!

An inspirational quote: 

The early church was made up of many classes of people, of various nationalities. At the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, “there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.” Acts 2:5

Acts of the Apostles, 87

The Stats: THRIVE Cooking School!

Total Number of Attendees (Combined): 75~

Total Number of Non-Adventist Attendees (Combined): 20~

Something I’m thankful for: The cooking school was amazing! Because of the right arm of the gospel we were able to get a number of Bible study contacts! 🙂

A powerful quote:

The gospel of health is to be firmly linked with the ministry of the Word. It is the Lord’s design that the restoring influence of health reform shall be a part of the last great efforts to proclaim the gospel message.

Medical Ministry, 259

Something I’m thankful for: God’s faithfulness 🙂

Please pray for: Robert, Joe and Silvia

Have a few more Bible studies this week! Please continue to pray that the Lord keeps their commitment to study the Bible strong in their minds.

Robert is very hungry to study the Word and has started to invite people to our studies! Tomorrow he’s invited four more people to join our little Bible study! The Lord is really blowing my socks off.

An encouraging quote:

“As we approach nearer the end, I have seen that in these meetings there will be less preaching, and more Bible study. There will be little groups all over the ground with their Bibles in their hands, and different ones leading out in a free, conversational study of the Scriptures.”

– Christian Service, 196

Please pray for: Robert, Gabby and Lisa; new contacts!

We were able to make some surveys and that really helped out with our work today! Tomorrow we’ll be putting out our Bible study fliers in businesses. We also had our first FM101 class today with the church. It was a blessed day. :]

Something I’m thankful for: Our house mom bought us seaweed and tried it for the first time with rice and soy sauce! Our house dad actually tried it too–they both liked it!

Please pray for: Salvador, my first contact!

A quote that helped me today:

“Love for souls for whom Christ died means crucifixion of self.”

Desire of Ages, 417

Something I’m thankful for: Bomb house parents. And Aki the wiener dog! :]

God is good!
