What a week it has been!

What a week it has been!! I will try and summarize it. Thursday was our second day of ministry and was the start of a great relationship with a couple of guys. Two of their names are Jamil and Amadou and I forgot the other names but they go by various nicknames such as Usher, Obama, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, etc. We talked with them quite a bit and got to know them a lot. Thursday night we had a public screening of the Magdalene film which was based on Mary Magdalene and the Gospel. I met up with Jamil there and he said that the movie "moved his heart and he felt for Jesus." This perked me right up and we decided to meet the next day, Friday. So Friday we met up with him and the other guys and talked about Jesus with them. For me it is really hard trying to get Muslim students to understand the Gospel. They are so based in their religion and it is such a family motivated belief that it has blinded them from the truth. We spoke with the guys for about 4 hours or so which was very tiring. I believe that we learned a lot as well as them. We are going to try and meet up with them regularly and continue to share the truth with them as well. We are also going to try and meet with Jamil by himself because there is something different about him. He asks certain questions that makes him seem very interested in Christianity and he is very open. Hopefully this week we will get to catch up with them and continue to preach the good news!

P.S. Don't take iced beverages and air conditioning for granted. And a washer and dryer.
