So this past week was a tad bit disappointing for us. The miracle man that we met on Sunday kind of dropped us.....but not really. We met him twice in the beginning of the week and both times he was kind of buzzed, but we shared a message with him and left. He was complaining that he was hungry and didn't have money for food, but we also don't have money so we couldn't give him any so we said we were sorry and left. Anyways, I called him later in the week and he said he was sorry and that he met with him Pastor/Preacher from his old church and told her that he was going to attend that church (my guess is for food aid). Anyways, we were really bummed and wanted to talk with him, but he wouldn't give us the time to do so, so we were super disappointed. The bright side was yesterday in the morning on the way to church we saw him again and he thanked us for all we had done and I told him that we would continue helping him and he said ok. So that night we visited his house and his 2 friends let us in (they were all drinking together) and we were able to show him our sincere desire to help him so I hope that it helps put things in perspective for him that our help will go a lot farther in the end than the food that he receives from the other church. But other than that sad bit of news everything else was pretty good this week, we met with one of our investigators named Lee Cheong Yong and he invited us to play basketball with him and his friends so we played together on Thursday night and it was super fun. It was in a full size US gym because it was at an International School, similar to ASIJ and HKIS, so it was super nice. We played for a bit and met his friends which was really cool. Some of them have some English interest so we're hoping to meet some of them in the future. This week is looking up as well with some appointments so we're just hoping our investigators can keep progressing and hopefully get baptized soon!
