In the evening we went to a church in the outskirts of the city. Gio and Nelson helped set up the equipment to show "Magdalena," a film about Jesus in the point of view of Mary Magdalene. Once the technical equipment and chairs were set up we formed several groups, each led by Quechua church members, and headed out into the neighborhood. We knocked on the doors of all the nearby houses and invited those who were home to join us in viewing the film on the "gran pantalla." As we walked around, we came across so many stray dogs that we immediately regretted not getting rabies shots. There were dogs everywhere! Big dogs, small dogs, running dogs, sleeping dogs. Gio insists he saw a gigantic pig... we're not sure if we should believe him though :) Anyway, the good news it that no one got bitten. So we went back to the church at about 6:45pm and waited for people to arrive. The church was filled, the movie was played and all eyes were focused on the images on the wall.
The greatest blessing of the evening was seeing about a dozen people come to Christ that night. We had heard it in countless testimonies, but seeing God work before our very own eyes was simply amazing.
