We were blessed with an opportunity to give a 2 hour long presentation at a very large church called Fountain of Life (Fuente de Vida). The church is housed in an old cinema, which is very very big. We likened it to a Calvary Chapel because of its size. We had an excellent turn out, probably 100 people or so, and we were able to give our full presentation minus the Soy Una Taza song.
From the Fountain of Life we went home for a traditional Peruvian dish called Aji de Gallina which is similar to a dish we had earlier this week. The sauce is yellow and has chicken in it. This is poured over potato slices and is usually garnished with a slice of hardboiled egg and an olive. In addition to this we had rice. (They really love their carbs here!)
In the afternoon we participated in the first ever OANSA Olympics at the Local Central church. This involved all the IAM churches. I am happy to report that one of the two CN teams won the cup! Stephanie, our roommate, was very happy. The room was very loud with all the cheering and drums banging and such, but there was a lot of excitement and energy.
This event rolled right into Culto.com, the youth (jovenes) church service night. Mark gave the message and we tried our best to talk with the youth there in both Spanish and English.
