Report from Asia II - David & Amy J

UPDATE RECEIVED Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 6:47 AM

Anyway of the folks we told you about earlier, Lily is doing fine, Mr. John we hope to talk to again tonight, and the other gentleman is getting plugged in to a local club.

We have met several other people as well.  There are four people I would like you all to please remember for us.  They are all motorcycle cabbies which is a very dangerous job here.  They all welcomed us to drink tea with them and we made friends quickly.  We did get to share about our home and tell them all about Father [shared the plan of salvation].  They had never heard much about him before.  The leader, Fonzie, is a very smart man, but when we told him about our father’s rules, he seemed to understand that this was impossible to obey.  Another friend there was very eager to hear about our home and our father.  His name is Pumpkin.  He has been trying to have a child for a while so we all told him we would tell father about his situation.

The other two are Dow, he wasn’t very interested but he took a movie we gave him to watch about the whole of history to help him understand [this is probably the Jesus Film].  The last one, Greg, was very very friendly and listened intently to what we had to say.  He said he would like to come to our home and really wanted to talk to our father, but was not sure he could in the tea shop.  We told him he could go home and talk to our father whenever he was ready.  We gave him something that talked about the road to Rome and directions how to reach father if he wanted to talk to him and join the family [a salvation tract using the Roman Road].  We will follow up with these guys soon and hopefully can meet them for tea again and answer any questions they have.

I would ask you and all our friends at home to please diligently remember our four friends, Fonzie, Pumpkin, Dow and Greg.

Also we went yesterday to a big temple here and got to tell several of the monks about our home and our father.  Not sure they were truly interested but we met and shared with the oldest, most venerable monk there, who was 97 years old.  He climbed the 108 steps up to the temple to reach us and shared his secrets for long life and we shared with him the secrets to true life.  We will call him Grandfather.  Please also have everyone remember Grandfather and that the things we shared with him will have a hope to reach him.  We also shared with two guides who took us around and they were more receptive.  We left them with movies and information and hopefully they also will reach these young folks.

I will try to get another message out in a few days as opportunity is available but please do continue to think of us and remember the new friends we have told you about as well.  It is the deepest desire of our hearts that these new friends might one day come to our home and visit father.  Amy has already had the opportunity to talk to someone who is now adopted into the family [accepted Christ].  It was a precious moment for her and I am so pround of how well she is doing here.  They have split us up and Amy is translating for others with us and she had that great opportunity.

We miss you all and hope to see you very soon.

Love,

David and Amy
