Leaving Uruguay

We touched down back in Memphis around 12:30 Sunday afternoon after flying out of Montevideo around 9 the night before (7 Central time). It rained just about all day Thursday and Friday. We were limited as to what we could do because it was so cold and wet outside. We tried to persevere and go and hand out invitations to the coffee house, but we ended up coming back to the hotel early both days.

The coffee houses Thursday and Friday nights were a success, despite the rain, according to the missionaries. They were thrilled! Thursday night we had around 30 people come, and Friday we had 50 to 60 come. We had 2 people come to Christ, that we know of, which is an amazing thing! We were warned that there most likely wouldn't be a large harvest, such as with the Brazil team from last week. Our goal for the week and for the coffee houses was to form relationships, which would lead to eventual presentations of the Gospel. After we got back to the states, Casey heard from someone that some new people came to one of the cell churches Sunday after we left as a result of our ministries last week! Priase God for the work He continues to do in Uruguay!

I've uploaded the pictures from this trip to photobucket. Use the link on the right under "Photos" to see the pictures I took in Uruguay. I didn't take as many this trip because of the rain and just because the camera got in the way of what I was trying to do sometimes.
