evangalizing take 2

so today my friend (his blog HERE) and I went out after work so i could redeem myself and well I would call it a mixed blessing. well we left right after work so we were in dress clothes (not always the best for street evangalizm). Our first thought was to go to the mall, so when we went over there it was pretty intimidating. in this town everyone is on a mission to get their stuff done so as you can imagine no one would even look at us. so we decided to give up on that and go to the river. when we got there there were not a whole lot of people but we decided to give it a shot. we walked around a bit and scoped out the area. now back to my clothes point, when we would approach a person they would look at us funny and walk away. these kids were what the town calls 'river rats' so they were not the most well dressed. I am guessing they we resenting the two guys trying to walk up to them in their nice dress clothes. so we moved on from there and kept walking around the river. we finally got over our fear and found these two young woman and asked them if we could talk to them. Unfortunately, they laughed at us and said no. so we kindly said thanks anyways and kept going. if you have never evangalized before you have no idea how hard it is to ask the first person to talk. so once we got that over with even though they said no we felt better and kept going. I wish I could end this nicely but once we finally got our courage up all the people that we could talk to had gone. some may consider this a failure but the way I look at it at least we gave 2 people the opportunity to hear the gospel.

well I have rambled enough so take care and God Bless
