July 14 - after lunch ysterday, most of the group went to visit the silver market for which Taxco is famous. Some of the kids bought some pieces, rings and such, which are very inexpensive. Then, there was time to walk up to the Zocalo to see the Santa Prisca Cathedral and to get a snack. At 7:30 pm we joined up with the youth meeting at Red Familia. There were about 30 enthusiastic young people there. Chris gave a short message in English challenging the youth to be bold for Jesus which a young man translated into Spanish. Then Vision sang "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus", "Jesus, Name Above All Names" in Spanish, and "Take Me to the Water". We ended praying for one another one-on-one, in Spanish by their youth and English by our group. We then had delicious tacos cooked on the spot. Fellowshipped with their young people during dinner and returned to catch up on our devotions and had a time of one-on-one confession of sins and sharing.
As we got ready for bed, it started to thunder and pour down rain in sheets. In a few minutes, the electricity went off so "lights out" became literal. Soon, we started to hear drips, as the roof had a few leaks. One was right near where I was sleeping so we had to find buckets to catch the rain before it started to soak the floor. The rain lasted until the early morning hours but the lights remained off even past 8 AM as I write this paragraph, so we could not do our morning devotions.
We arrived at church at 9 for their first service and ate a quick snack before joining the end of their worship. Chris preached for 45 minutes and we sang "While We Are Living" in Spanish, "Holy God" and "Jesus, Name Above All Names". Then we joined Chris and the pastors and church leaders to pray for whoever came up for prayer. This is bring sent as we eat breakfast and prepare to join the second service starting at 11.
