From Derryn

Derryn preaches at Figuiera, enjoying the trip back, and Derryn hangs out with kids at the orphanage
Shelley and Trini hanging out, in the Central Plaza at Rosario with the kids and more of the central plaza
Hello. I am happy to say that CJ and I(Derryn) are getting better. I have had a fever for the past couple days and CJ has had a cough and congestion and stuff. I'm sorry to announce, however, that everyone else on our team is getting increasingly ill. So if you're reading this you have no excuse not to pray for them. Today we are going to Rosario again. We went there yesterday with 9-11 year olds. Today it's with the 12-18 year olds. It will be exciting. Rosario is a small village, of one million residents, about two hours from San Nicolas. We will be shopping and partaking at the local Burger King.
Here is what I have thought of the trip so far:
We have felt the Holy Spirit leading us every day. CJ wrote this in the previous blog but I'll just remind you. It was last Friday night and up to that point I don't know that anyone had gotten saved. So that night when we were praying as a team I prayed that God would allow us to see some people get saved. So the next day(Saturday) we did our puppet show thing and they asked all the visiting kids to come to the front if they wanted to get saved. So sixty kids came to the front and accepted Christ. So we need to give God all the glory for that because if that was the only good thing that happened on this trip it would have been worth it.
But God has helped us with everything. None of us are preachers at all but every time we had to preach God gave us audiences that needed to hear exactly what we said. There are many things that each of us could have done better as far as all that went but I believe anything we did right was because of God anyway. We have felt all of your prayers and we have needed each one more than we can say to thank you for that.
we're coming home soon.
