Tuesday

Hi everyone! Today we rode the GO train into Toronto. It is about a 40 minute ride into the city. We gave out Tim Horton's (Canada's version of Starbucks) coupons as a way to start converstation. Several of us were able to use these coupons as conversation ice breakers into spiritual matters. Many people were reluctant to take the coupons because they felt like there were strings attached, but God really used them to open the doors for opportuntites to share our faith. For instance, Tommy was able to share his testimony with 3 attentive passengers.

Once we arrived in Toronto, we adventured into the underground world of Toronto and ended up in a massive mall! Its nothing to WolfeChase! At the mall we split up into groups to prayer walk and meet people. I (Whitney) sat down to rest and a man came to sit beside me at the table. I said hello to him and immediately he asked where I was from...imagine that! He turned out to be a Jewish man and Dave was able to share and talk with him while Natalie and I sat and listened..prayerfuly of course! This man is very resistant to the gospel while at the same time being very friendly and courteous. Please keep this man in your prayers that God will soften his heart and his eyes will be open to the truth. Throughout the mall, several of us were able to make connections with fellow shoppers.

After our mall extravaganza, we took a route that led us to what we like to call the CN Tower, which is a good thing because that is its name! :) Some veterans of the group decided to stay back while the rookies soared upward 114 stories to the top! It was fun, but a team member got very sick. Please pray for her also. Then we came back to the house.

We had some great chicken spaghetti which was followed by a girl's bible study that was lead by our missionary's wife. Wonderful time in the word...very encouraging! Meanwhile, the boys or "men" as they call themselves went out on a secretive journey to which they have kept G-14 classified!

It was a great day in the Lord and we are thankful for the opportunities to share with many people. Please pray for us tommorow. We will be going out in two groups to do random acts of kindness for the people in Brampton. Natalie and I apologize for our silliness in this entry, but its 11 and we are very tired and giggly! We love you all...thank you for your prayers!
