Carnival: We Went In!

     Last night was the second night of Carnival. This time, we all split into our different groups. My group, the inside group, got our tickets and headed into the party!
     We split into smaller groups once we were inside and split up. My group of 5 held a sign that said tells us your story (in Spanish, of course). We weren't sure how well it would work, but the people were decently receptive to it! We first talked to an extremely drunk man who actually knew some English. We got to talk to him about God, and pray for him.
     We talked to and prayed for a few others, all of whom spoke English. Which was totally unexpected, because people who have been there before have rarely seen many English speakers.
     The only people we talked to last night who spoke only Spanish were 3 guys who came over together. And even then, one of them spoke some English.
     They came over joking around and telling us that their names were crazy things and that they were from different places in the States, which they obviously were not. But after talking and joking with them for a bit, one of the people in the group felt like we needed to pray for them to feel the Holy Spirit. They held out their hands and we prayed.
     They described the feeling as goosebumps in their hands, and then inside of them. And the one who spoke some English said he felt peace.
     When we told them that that was God, His spirit, and that He did that because He loves them, the one guy said he wanted that. His English speaking friend stayed and listened as we explained how to accept Jesus, while the third said he wanted nothing to do with it and walked away. But he kept coming back and listening. A seed was planted there!
     So last night, we received a new brother in Christ! And that was just the one salvation that my small group saw- others also saw people come to Christ last night. Praise the Lord!
     Please continue to pray for is and for Carnival! Pray for boldness and fearlessness and for God to continue to create divine appointments, to give us a supernatural ability to be able to communicate without needing translators, and for Him to show up in really amazing and miraculous ways (there were also several healings last night)!
     Blessings,
