One of the most fulfilling days of my life

On Saturday morning we got up and ready to go out and start our "training" by being thrown out into the fire and just going out to share the gospel. It was our first scheduled time to go out and share the love of God with people. We had a quick time where we reviewed over some of the stuff that we had been talking about and just how we can love on all the people we talk to regardless of what they say or how they react. The whole point of what we are trying to do is bring glory to God, and sharing the gospel with people is just one form of that.
We headed out to Lake Eola, which is a park of sorts, and slit up into groups of two. My roommate Chris and I headed out and just started walking around the park. It was quite a different situation that we were expecting because there was a big event for special needs children going on all around the lake and people were just walking everywhere, so there weren't too many people just standing still so that we could approach to talk to them. At first we just were confused on what to do, but then we just approached any person we could find who did not seem to be busy. I will just share one huge highlight from our time doing this, there were other encouraging stories, but this one is by far my favorite:
We approached this girl, Chelsea, who was probably about a junior in high school and who was working one of the games they had going on. No one was at her game, so we decided to take a chance that she would have the time to talk to us. First we asked her if any of the topics on our sheet interested her, and she said that she guessed that she was interested in 6 Reasons God Exists or Prove That He's God. We asked her why she pick those and she said that she believed that there was a God, but wasn't really sure about how that it really had any impact on her. We were able to present the whole gospel to her while asking her questions about what she thought to see if she understand what we were saying and just trying to show her God's love for her. We had a few distractions with little kids running around and wanting to play a few games, but I believe that she was really responsive to it and really understood what we were telling her. She did not think that she was ready to give up her life to having God as the center of her life because she was a little skeptical of putting her faith into something like this and living for God, but she said that she had some grandparents that always take her to church when she stays with them. She seemed really interested in the information and resources that we left with her and we prayed for her and her brother, who has a bone disease, but she was thankful that he could still walk. I think that she is really close with how interested she seemed, but just needs time to realize the joy and freedom that Christ brings. It is really exciting and encouraging, so I am going to continue to pray for her and encourage you all too as well.
After we returned from our time at Lake Eola, we met up at the pool and exchanged cool stories about what happened, and then we went and had a ton of fun playing soccer in a small field across the street from our condos. It was a blast, but maybe not the brightest idea because immediately after we finished with that, we had our men's time.
This was the most physically demanding men's time I have ever been a part. We all sweated, were in pain, fought hard, and were emotionally and psychologically challenged together as men. That is all I will/am allowed to say about that. It definitely was something else, and I would not recommend going on summer project if you do not want to be changed and challenged mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It was one of the most fulfilling days of my life where I really feel like I had a impact on others.
