This picture was taken during the ferry we took to get there. It was very relaxing and I was able to share my testimony with the team! This was a much needed break, especially because this next week is the craziest of the trip. On the way back to the ferry on the third day one of our buses broke down momentarily, which was really scary. But Uncle Tom (the noble leader of our Project) was a mechanic once and he took good care of it (at least to get home...it's broken down for realzies now. Pray for our transportation!)
Today was our first day ministering in the prisons! We broke up into two groups and went into two different prisons, but they are both women's prisons. We learned during our training times that it is easier for men to try and minister/talk to women inmates than it is for women to talk to men inmates. And I believe it! The prison I am going to is a high-security prison. To make an AMAZING experience really short, two women I talked to decided to come to Christ today and three more made that decision from the other groups at our prison. I was able to talk to about 12 women today and share part of my testimony.
MEMORABLE MOMENT:
One woman inmate I spoke to asked me if I was afraid to go into the prison. I said no. I asked her if she was, and she said, "YESSSSS!"
Then after our group talk tonight a group of students from Spain who are staying in this campus dorm, too, came and talked with our group to practice their English. Two of us Crusaders shared their testimonies with the students and we were able to chat for a while. Then after the ladies had a DANCE PARTY with all the cultural dances we do. We represented Party in the USA, Thriller, The Cha Cha Slide, and Cotton Eye Joe for America. It was SO fun! It really made the end of the day light.
More to come! I'll try and update daily now that we are in the prisons!
XOXO

I'm glad to hear that's going well.
