The following is a continuation of yesterday’s story and comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:

The homeless couple passed by again this week. Chuck called out to them and asked if they were using the Rosary they had gotten from us a few weeks ago. “Yes, every day!” replied the woman. May God bless them, heal them, and draw them ever closer to Him!

A woman, from a group of at least four people, called something out to us as they headed into the remodeling show that was going on in the main convention center. None of us understood her, but two of us thought it sounded a bit like a certain ancient language. Anyway, her tone didn’t seem especially friendly, so it may not have been a blessing. Still, may God bless her and her party and lead them all to Himself and salvation!

An older couple declined our offer. As they passed by, the woman turned to say, with a grin, that she was a Catholic but just a “half-[way] Catholic.” Pray for all who have a lukewarm faith, that their eyes may be opened and their hearts inflamed with love for God.

As we were getting ready to leave, a man speeding by on a bicycle hurled insults at us but did not stop. Pray that his heart is softened and he finds the courage to stop and talk to us in a rational way.

Other than some attendees of the home-improvement show, foot traffic remained very light. This was possibly due to the chilly wind that was preceding a 20-degree F drop in temperature that took place just after our “closing time.” Still, we three evangelists were able to give away 12-15 Rosaries and its pamphlet, a Divine Mercy prayer card, a “Our Lady Untier of Knots” prayer card, a “Good News” pamphlet, and a “Do I Need a Savior?” pamphlet.

Please pray for us again today? Ask God to send people to us with hearts prepared to perceive their need for Our Savior Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church, and that much good fruit for His Kingdom comes of today’s efforts.

No matter the weather, the Lord has work for us. So, thank you again for your prayers and other support for this apostolate. In turn, may God protect and greatly bless you and all those you love!
