Today was not what I expected. I'm not sure it was what anyone expected. First the bus dropped us off in a park while it was downpouring. This park had no covering so we decided to go to a park that did. On our way to the park we walked through this shopping area and I saw an area I thought and felt would be perfect for the drama, however it was raining so I didn't say anythign. We walked to the park only to find that another team was already there. We waited for them to pack up and then had lunch while we waited for a new crowd to form.
We performed the drama talked to a few people but it was nothing spectacular or anything. Our plan since it was still raining was to go to another park with a gazebo type place. So we walked there again only to find another team. At this point we were all feeling pretty defeated. But our leaders had us on the move again to where I wasn't sure but much to my surprise and delight it was the area I had seen earlier.
The police then showed up and told us they didn't think we could be permitted to perform there and then walked away. After praying we decided to do it anyways and the police actually ended up watching and there was a very large crowd. It was just such a blessing! While I didn't talk for long periods of time with people I did some tranlsating and I felt good about the day. The students were cold, wet, and so very very tired but yet not one of them complained! I'm so proud of our team!! We only have one more day of ministry left and we intend to go back to the shopping area and just perform the drama all day because the crowd is constantly changing!!
