This report comes to us from team leader Scott with our team in Watertown, NY:
Alajendro and his friend came up to our trouble. He grabbed many rosaries and Miraculous Medals, along with instructions on how to pray the rosary because of the recent baptism of one of his relatives whom he is instructing on the faith. Please pray for his family to draw closer to the Lord and become knowledgeable of their faith so as to put a good defense for it when it is attacked by others!
Jim and Rodney came up to our table after we invited them over. They are from New York City and moved up to Watertown to get a new start. They seemed to be very happy that they moved up here and expressed their satisfaction with the slower pace. Jim took a red rosary around his neck and told us how he is a believer and owns many bibles. They were very friendly to us and just seemed relieved to be up here enjoying their day (and not in New York City). Pray for Jim and Rodney to remain strong in their faith always.
Natalie is an older lady and she walked up to our table holding back tears from her eyes. She thanked us for what we were doing, and asked us to pray for the Christian missionary couple who were killed for their faith in Haiti recently. After a short discussion about Haiti, we all prayed together in the square. She led us in prayer as well. Dave asked her to pray for us after we finished, because we realized quickly just how Holy she is! She only accepted a Miraculous Medal, and gripped it into her palm saying, “I have the Lord’s mother now, I think I will go sit down in the shade,” as it was hot out and the sun was beating down upon us.
Please pray for these holy souls. Thank you!
