Amazed!

Last week Lindsay and I were with a friend, Isabel! We invited her over to our apartment to watch Magdalena and then I would cook dinner for us afterward.  So she came and we did all that, though the night was different than expected!

She arrived and we gave her a tour, introduced her to our kitty, and showed her pictures of our homes and families and friends.  Then when it was time to start watching the movie, the DVD wouldn't work in Lindsay's computer.  My DVD player is currently broken so we started praying and trying different solutions.  The Lord answer prayer quickly and the movie was quickly underway! During a part of the movie, the Nezan (which is the call to prayer) started going off.  It is unusually loud in our apartment so Lindsay and I, individually, prayed that she would either not hear it or it would be drastically quieter!  Well the Lord answered our prayers! It was quieter! The next time it went off she heard and commented to turn things down. Praise God for those answers!

The most amazing thing during the whole night were her reactions to Jesus' miracles.  When Jesus cast out demons, she said, "WOW!"  When Jesus brought Talitha back to life, she gasped; when Jesus fed the 5,000 she gasped again! But the biggest gasp was at the end of the film when Mary goes to the tomb on the 3rd day.  She sees the stone rolled away and runs in only to find Jesus' grave clothes.  Our friend was shocked. She gasped and stared at the screen in amazement!  We have shared with her the whole gospel numerous times, but seeing it made all the difference! Please prayer for Isabel! Pray that she would see truth! That she would look up these stories in the Incil we gave her! Pray she would see her need for a Savior and that Jesus is that Savior.  That Jesus came to seek and save the Lost, not just western people, not just jews, but ALL people! 

It was an AMAZING night!
