Week of Prayer was a real success. I believe the Lord blessed in ways that we may not even realize. Preaching with a translator was definitely interesting. The one plus side of it was that, during the time when the translator was doing his thing, I had more time to think about what to say next. In the culture of Honduras, the people are very loud. It was pretty hard sometimes to keep the students quiet and attentive. Each worship thought shared by my dear classmates was enriched by the grace of God. Each one was a blessing, not only to those we shared with, but to each of us who shared (Kalyse R., Brittany L., Anna W. and myself). My talk was the very last one of the Week of Prayer, which meant that I had the privilege of of making the final appeal for the students to accept Jesus as their Savior and Friend. It was such a joy to see them come forward. Throughout the week, we (myself and the others that shared) began to wonder if any of the students were paying attention; if anyone even cared about what we were trying to share. The tear-stained faces of Honduran youth, whose hearts had been touched by the Holy Spirit, let us know that our work had not been in vain in the Lord. Even if only one life was impacted for the Kingdom, we know that our whole trip was worth it.
