Last Saturday evening the church in Paysandu hosted a men’s meeting tied in with a Father’s Day theme. Father’s Day was July 18th this year here in Uruguay.
Pablo and Victor were able to get away and go with me to the meeting. We had a great time in the car on two and a half hour drive on the way up with at least one memorable story as a result. When we arrived we were welcomed by the men. Pastor Rojas preached an excellent sermon on our need to not just ask sin to leave our lives, but rather to make the choice to eradicate it. Later in the evening the ladies of the church served up some of the best Chicago style pizza that I have eaten in a long time.
The dinner theater put on by the ladies was a rather humorous skit of the daily family life of a few of the men from the church in Paysandu. (Leave me a comment if you can guess who the two ladies are.) After that a ping-pong table was set up.
Praise the Lord for others of like faith and practice striving to reach hearts with the Gospel in Uruguay’s interior. It was a blessing to the men from Durazno to know that they are not alone, and that others are praying for them as well.

Si, como no. . . Esperemos hacer una reunión de hombres por acá en setiembre. Hay un precioso lugar a pocas cuadras de la terminal que queremos alquilar. Estuvimos planeandolo en el regreso a casa el otro día. ¡Muchísimas gracias por todo!
