The following report comes to us from team leader Caleb with our team in Greenville, SC:

Ernesto and I successfully set up for the first time at the White Horse Flea Market. Before any real activity, I went over to a table not far away from where we set up. They were a family business selling Mexican goods. There were several statues of saints, St. Jude being the most popular, but many more. I struck up some small talk in my extremely limited and broken Spanish, and found out how much a nice statue of St. Jude costs, and then asked if they were Catholic. She said yes and then I noticed that a large part of one the tables was covered in Catholic literature. I brought her over to our table and introduced her to Ernesto so they could have a real conversation. She and Ernesto talked some, and he discovered she is a faithful Mass attendee and she took some free literature and some Rosaries. She brought her sister over as well. Her sister doesn’t attend Mass regularly because of “transportation issues”, so please pray they would work this out.

We passed out many “Why be Catholic” and “Good News” pamphlets to passersby, both English and Spanish. Many weren’t willing to talk, but some did take free medals and rosaries. One gentleman named Mike said he was recently praying to God for something and realized we don’t always get the answer we want. He realized he just had to accept God’s will. I talked about the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man explaining that we always get what God knows is best, even if it doesn’t come to us in this life, it comes to us in the next. He took a Rosary and some pamphlets.

Praised be Jesus Christ!
