December:

When we came back from Maracaibo we had Christmas decoration in our place!!!!!
Instead using words, I will show you some pictures...







QUICK UPDATE!!

November:
On november we had our annual retreat. It was called " Conexion 90 degrees", this name was due to the vertical relationship that we have with the Lord and how this relationship affect our relationship with other people.
This was a great opportunity to see our student leaders work with us and commited in every detail like worship, program, sound system free time,etc.


The speaker was Deivi Bracho, the coordinator from other city (San Cristobal). He is a really fun person and he always gives good illustrations to each talk even the names of the talks were funny " The Glory of the conexion", " Enjoy the Glory of the conexion", " The language of the conexion" and " How to connect with other people", I think he is funny.
We really had fun at this retreat and God touch our hearts during the talks and the worship time.



There were 45 students who attended the retreat wich was great. It was an answer to a prayer because be hhad been praying that God motivated the students to go.





On November we also traveled as a team to Maracaibo( my city) to have some planning meetings for this new year, one of thoses plans is our annual national conference. This conference is going to be on April 4-8.







In Maracaibo we also had a Thanksgiving time with all the staff (Venezuelans and Americans), it was so beautiful. It was my first Thanksgiving!!!

Who´s teaching?
More adventures!!!
I was calling some contacts that I had when I came in july, and one of those people was a girl named Teresa, I talked to her and we agreed to meet the next day at the humanidades cafetin.

We have been sharing our faith in college a lot but one of our goals is that students go through follow-up so they can grow in their faith ( follow-up is where students learn the basic aspect of being Christians).
For our first meeting I was hoping that she would recognise my face because I did not remember hers. She did not recognise me and I had to call her, when I finally met with her she thanked me for calling her and that She wanted to know more about God.

After talking to her a while, I realized that I had not shared the gospel with her. I had only prayed for one exam, so I pulled out my four spiritual laws , but her friends came and they did not let me explain. They were distracting Teresa and suddenly She said " she is talking about something very important to me please do not interrupt" I was excited to hear that!!!. So we started through the four spiritual laws and at the part that says that Jesus is the only way she said "the person who doesn´t receive Jesus won´t have eternal life,right?" I almost fell off the chair!!! " you´re right", I added. "How I can receive him?" she asked to me. By opening your heart to him I said " this isn´t the only time that we are meeting, right? I would like to meet with you to learn more about God", My heart was beating so hard!!!!

She received Jesus and we made another meeting, God really amanzed me that day as ususal.
We had met twice and since I am leaving town for two weeks, she is going to meet with one of my disciples, Angela!!!
