Yesterday, we went to the Boston Common, a park in Boston. It was lovely, but not as beautiful as Central Park. However, I do love Boston more than NYC! It is less stressful. Anyways, Danny and I were paired together. We got rejected by five or six people, which was really disappointing, but then we approached a couple of guys who were in their early twenties. We told them that we are going all across the east coast asking Americans what they believe. Then we asked them if they wanted to go through the card game with us. They both responded with a smile and a nod. Then one asked in a thick Irish accent, "is it okay that we aren't Americans?" Danny and I immediately replied that of course it's okay!
We went through the game with them and had a really great conversation about what they believe. When they finished the cards, we asked them if they would like to see the cards we chose. They both seemed eager to hear our opinion. We shared the gospel with them, and in the end they accepted both prayer cards. One of them asked for contact information and what church we go to!
I didn't expect to have such an amazing conversation because we were in Boston, Massachusetts, one of the most liberal cities in America. I'm glad that I was wrong! We were rejected so many times because God wanted us to talk with Adam and Matthew. It was a divine appointment, and I'm grateful for it.
