Mason & Kalel went on their first independent outing to the Barnyard just this last Saturday and here is their report:

Mason: 

"Wesley and his wife and 2 children worked a booth next to us.  He is Baptist and likes to focus on what we believe in common. I told him that I was raised Baptist and converted to Catholicism after learning so much more Bible and history. I made sure he knew we are Christian. I gave Wesley a Good News card and a Virtues pamphlet, performed some magic tricks for the kids, and gave them rosaries.

Sean’s shy daughter accepted a pink rosary and Sean took a pamphlet to learn how to pray it.

 

Gabby is a sweet young lady who is blind in one eye and deaf in one ear.  She’s going to have surgery soon and wanted some prayers. We prayed with her and she took two rosaries.  She was proud to tell us that she has a “God Is Not Dead” poster on her door.

 

Ralph is into technology and believes there is a higher power in charge, but he doesn’t go to church.  I explained that God set up the Church and Ralph took a ”Pillar of Fire - Pillar of Truth” booklet.

 

Leonard, an adult man, was leading his elderly father around the market in a wheelchair. He took two rosaries but didn’t talk much. I presume he’s planning to pray it with his Dad.

 

A man named Barry also didn’t talk much, but he took a rosary and was very appreciative.  Most visitors were amazed that everything we had was free.

 

James, a military veteran, asked for prayers for his son Bradley.  Didn’t give details but said he was “worried about him”.  Kalel promoted the Divine Mercy chaplet and gave him a pamphlet and a rosary.

 

Jamal was wearing a “True Religion” jacket which sparked conversation.  He said he thinks it has something to do with Buddhism but just liked the jacket.  He took 2 rosaries and a rosary pamphlet."
