New friends for Justin!

So Justin has always been the type to have one or two really good friends and doesn't likes to commit himself to those who he really values. I am the opposite. I have twenty friends who know everything about me and probably more than they would like. I am a open book! I do have those whom I tend to gravitate towards more, but any one willing to talk to me is my new friend! Well for some strange reason Justin is the hip and happening guy here and he seems to find the neatest people! This first guy is Ed that is short for Edgar. Justin met him first at a men's discipleship group, but we didn't start to hand out until my friend from Dumaguete (the place I live when I was here before) introduced us. We found out that he lives just down the street from us. We now have a standing date with him every Sunday night LATE. We get together at about 9:30 PM and we talk or watch movies or go to Dunkin Doughnuts and what else eat doughnuts! We have even gone out and taken books and just read together at a coffee house. We love Ed! He is single and young and has a scooter! But the Best part about is is that he LOVES the LORD! He is a passionate guy! He met Jesus and can't wait to tell everyone else about Him too! We are always encouraged after spending time with Ed!

This is who we call Justin's new Best Friend! His name is Richmond he is 12 and Justin spends most of his free time at Richmond's house. Richmond is an only child, he has a mother and father who work alot and a Lola (grandmother) who takes care of him all the time. Richmond looks like a typical 12 year old in the states with his baggy jeans, checkered belt and cell phone lanyard, black DC shoes and a name brand hat. Any way, Justin loves spending time with him. I found out why, Richmond also has a Nintendo Wii. Need I say more! Richmond's parents are also great. When I have women's Bible study they take Justin to the mall, out to eat, to thyme parks! They really like Justin. And he really likes them! They make him feel like he is 12 again and who didn't love being 12? Richmond also attends our Tuesday night Bible study at our condo and is learning the truth's about God's love! We love spending time with this guy well because we do!

This is Farshid, He is the only Iranian we know and have fun with. He is 19 and is going to school to be a Dentist. He has some crazy ideas but we are praying that God will use us to share the Truth of Jesus with him. We met him about three months ago, he lives exactly two floors up from us. We went out to eat with him and another Persian guy. the food wasn't very good but the company was great! We talked about all our differences and found that we are more alike than you might imagine. We disagree on many things but our lives and stories are very similar. Any way we had him over one night and we gave him a fruit roll up and told him he had to get a tattoo on his tongue, he loved it! Please pray as we continue to share the Gospel with him! Nothing is impossible with God!
