Many of you know Taylor Friesen. He is studying in Madrid, Spain right now. This last weekend I had the opportunity to meet with him in Milan, Italy (Which is between us and happened to be the cheapest place for both of us to travel to). It was a great weekend to relax and spend time with Taylor who was in my small group for quite a while. He also brought a friend with him, who is religious, but we were not sure if he understood faith. On Sunday afternoon I had the opportunity to share the gospel with him. He told us that he had not ever heard this before. It seemed to really touch him. I told him that he and Taylor should discuss it more and that if he had questions he could ask Taylor. I think that this was a real great opportunity for me to share the Gospel and disciple at the same moment. This was not all that happened! On the way to Milan a girl sat down by me in the plane. I felt that I should talk to her so I introduced myself and began to speak with her. It turned out that she was a Slovak girl from Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. We talked that whole flight and found out that we had the same flight back, so we decided to sit together. I decided that on the way back I really wanted to talk to her and tell her about Jesus. So I began to pray that God would give me an opportunity to, and that I would have the boldness to do it. Well, it just so happened that on the return flight this girl, Andrea, started to tell me about her problems with religion. I thought, wow here is the opportunity! So I began to tell her about our position and who Jesus is. Half way through she told me she didn't like this idea, she didn't want someone to die for her, it was not fair. I told her that he already did and she began to cry. She did not make a decision then but said she wanted to think about it and ask me questions later, so I gave her my contact. Hopefully I will be able to connect her to some of the Christian girls in Bratislava that I know. Please pray for these two young people, Andrea from Bratislava and Jimmy from California. Pray also that Taylor will have wisdom and strength as he lives as an example for the other students he is around at school. Also continue to pray that God will grow and use me in this last month here in Slovakia. Yes it is my last month today :(
