one thing our team has been experiencing a lot of lately is just a desire to be friends with the students here, and not just have 'contacts'.. we want relationships with these people! we want to be investing a lot into those we meet with, know them personally, become part of their lives.. and it is something that we havent been experiencing much of..
well today was a pretty sweet breakthrough with this! we invited some students to go to the movies with us.. we watched a (somewhat lame) action movie with vin diesel.. but the point wasnt the movie, it was just to spend time with students away from campuses and appointments.. we had a couple guys show up and hang out with us! it was really cool..
then.. do you remember carlos from my prayer letter? brandon and i met with him a few weeks back.. anyways, he wasnt able to make it to the movies, but he invited us over to his house to watch the el salvador vs. suriname soccer game with him! we ended up going to a restaurant near his house, had dinner with him and his girlfriend, and watched el salvador dominate..
it was a really sweet day.. please be praying that we will continue to make true friends here!
