This week I gained a testimony of good planning. On Friday, we had a very busy schedule. Literally, we were running to and fro. On top of that, Sora Benson and I lost one another for a short time. I got off the tram vai, and she wasn't fast enough. I watched it drive ride away, and couldn't help but laugh at her helpless facial expression when she realized that we were being separated! We obviously found each other again, but that set us back by about 10 minutes. Because our schedule was so carefully mapped out with traveling time and all, we were worried. Still we prayed for the Lord to help us make our appointments of the day. He did. But that is not the point of this story. Because the day was so full, I didn't see how we would have any time to do our contacting for the day. However, before our visit with Sora Stoica, the Lord allotted us about ten minutes. Time was short, and the streets were empty. We accidently walked one street too far so we had to turn around. As we did so, we saw some youth and gave them English flyers. One of the girls was asking a lot of questions, and then finally she said, "I'm interested in the English, but honestly, I'm more interested in your church." She continued, "This January I went to my priest for confession and He was rude. He said he couldn't help me. I don't believe that is right. I want to believe that Christ can forgive me for my sins. Do you believe that He can?" How golden right?!! Point is, because we'd prepared a full day, the Lord put someone in our path who potentially could be someone to teach. I know when we plan well, He sees we're ready to work. It's much better to be busy, than to block out a huge chunk of time for contacting.
