*Last week while Tim and I were having ice cream at C'est Si Bon with a college student, another missionary was chatting 8 feet away with a new friend who decided he was ready to make a lifetime of following Christ. Two days later, another guy came to the same decision in a conversation with the same missionary. Exciting things are happening down here!
