Divine Appointments... *YouTube Video Update #2*

Just yesterday, I was making my rounds in the market to find a place to grab some fresh produce. I was looking in each shop, but I saw one that had only souvenirs and replica jerseys. I stopped in to see if I could find something good to possibly purchase for someone back home. The man was very kind, and when he recognized that I was American, he automatically called for his sons. He didn't speak much English, but he knew his sons could hold somewhat of a conversation. When they came in, a series of animated questions were poured onto me. They were so happy I was there that they ran to grab me a pop and told me to have a seat. From that point on, I was family to them.

I slowly conversed with them through various subjects of life. It was such a comforting experience. We talked about culture, television, music and even a little religion. Once we hit religion, the tone lowered. They had been taught to follow someone that they knew much about, but seemed reluctant to believe anything other than that. I shared with them about Jesus and they just nodded their heads in respect. I quickly realized that these guys had their family honor on the line. They didn't want to offend me, but they gladly shared in the conversation. 

Near the end of my 2-hour long visit, I invited them to the bakery/coffee shop for a movie night that we were having that night. They showed up and looked like they were enjoying themselves. They asked me to come back the shop the next day. 

Earlier that day, I sat up on my bed to wake up and a revelation came over me. "Ask for people to come." I immediately lifted that up to God and without fail, the people came...
