Semana Santa or Semana Tourismo....

As we go into April, We are preparing for Easter. Let me prefaces this by saying that what I'm about to say has nothing do with saying what passes in the States is wrong but just to let you see kind of our way of thinking.
Some define preparing for Easter would be buying new Easter Outfit or putting together an musical to show off the talents of the congregation.
Here we are seeing an opportunity to evangelize our areas. As you read, I labeled this entry Semana Santa (Holy Week) or Semana Tourismo (Week of Tourism or Vacation). Uruguay has went as far to separate church and state by changing the name of some our most special times of the year. They have also changed the Christmas holidays to Family week. Sound familiar to what is happening in the states. Just a to throw something out there, if you want to see what the States might look like in 20 to 50 years if the Lord tarries. Take a short trip down here to see how hard hearts are to the Gospel and untrusting the souls can be to the truth.
Back to preparation. We hit the evangelism trail hard. Working in Minas the weekend before Semana Santa and then off to Santa Clara Wednesday to Friday evangelising as well. I'll put that in another post. Enjoy the photos.
