My Dentist

March 20, 2009. Day Seventy-nine. Friday. I had a dentist appointment. I talked to both the lady that cleaned my teeth and then the dentist about the Lord. The lady was Filipino, but she lived in Guam until 1997 and her children went to school at Harvest Baptist school. She was still Catholic but was interested in the Bible. I left her a tract and brochure. The dentist grew up in Hong Kong. He's Chinese. He doesn't know English real well. He said he was Buddhist because of his parents, but he's not that into Buddhism. He had read a little of the Bible because of a friend. I told him what was different about the Bible and Jesus versus Buddhism. I left him a tract and brochure.

Grocery Parking

March 19, 2009. Day Seventy-eight. Thursday. I was in the parking lot of the grocery store with my son and I got into a conversation with the man parked right next to me. We talked about his eternity and I left him with a tract.

B'hai

March 18, 2009. Day Seventy-six. Wednesday. I drove the van for evangelism. We went to a neighborhood in El Sobrante. I had Alanna and my daughter Julia with me. We talked to a man from Iran who was in the Baha'i religion. He didn't say much about what he believed, but as he worked on his car battery, he told us a fascinating story of how he was a prisoner in Iran for two years and then escaped across the desert with other Bahai on camels. The Bahai have a feast every 19 days at his home. I asked him what the significance of 19 was, but he didn't have an answer for that---it's just important.

We also talked to a Buddhist man and another Buddhist woman.

Church

March 12, 2009. Day Seventy-one. Thursday. I took my son to rehearse with a world-class pianist who directs a world-class classical group. We had a great conversation and he gave us some material from his group and I gave him a tract and brochure from our church.
March 11, 2009. Day Seventy. Wednesday. I drove the van for door-to-door. I had Kim and Griselda with me. We went to twenty-four doors, because a lot of people weren't home.

Louisa

March 7, 2009. Day Sixty-six. Saturday. My wife and I went by to visit Jenisha and Jason, who were not home. Then we went to a few doors in San Pablo. We gave the entire plan of salvation to Louisa. She was a Catholic from San Salvador. She listened. And she really understood it, but she was not willing to relinquish her will and way to receive Christ. Pray for her conviction. We spend a long and thorough amount of time preaching to her.
