Yesterday on Tuesday I spent a nice afternoon with my friend Victoria talking, reading the bible and talking about Jesus. We first went to the Mcdonalds in downtown Milpitas and hung out there. I took out my bible and was looking at a passage from the book of Acts and from the book of proverbs. I also showed her my Mark Cahill evangelism materials that I had in my hand and she enjoyed the book one thing you can't do in Heaven and the booklets. I asked her if she wanted a copy of the book and she said she would. Then afterwards we left and I drove to show her my Church building. Then I parked the car and we just sat and talked about Junior Prom and Senior Ball, etc. I finally had enough guts to ask my friend Victoria out on a date, but she declined and said that she promised her aunt that she would not date. She did not want to disrespect her and I respected her decision to respect her aunt. We talked a little bit more about relationships and then afterward I asked Victoria where she wanted to and she told me Jack in the Box because she likes the hamburgers haha. So I drove to a Jack in the box near my house on Mission and we ate there and talked more. Then afterward I drove her back to her house and then I gave her a hug, then she walked home. I want to train up warriors for Jesus Christ and the book one thing you can't do in Heaven will assist them in bringing the greatest news ever proclaimed to a lost world, JESUS. Let the Lord use you to do great things as He has done through me. Praise the Lord!!!

Yesterday was a great Resurrection day! Me and my Church family were watching our brother's and one sister get baptized! It was awesome to be a witness of this amazing event again. Then afterwards the testimonies that everyone heard were fantastic in my opinion. Everyone spoke as if they were very motivating and also with such clarity. After that was done, people were taking pictures with the people that were baptized, and I went around congratulating them. Later on me and my friend Curtis went out to eat lunch at Sizzling Stone (one of my all time favorite restaurants) and chatted a little. Then we left and came back to our Church building and just hang there for a little, while Curtis had to go home. When we arrived we saw the rest of the girls Jen, Jennifer, Katrina, etc. and the rest were about to head out to lunch. The building was locked so I decided to leave and I said goodbye to Curtis. As I was leaving I was thinking about going to the Great Mall to talk to Charles who is this guy that works at Putting Edge mini-golf place there. I made up my mind to go there, and when I arrived the place was locked and so was the rest of mall since it was Easter. Century Theaters was open so I decided to go there and do some witnessing. I was still a little bit afraid of rejection but I had experience and I knew that the Lord was with me. So instead, while I was inside I went into the arcade to give people a surprise by placing tract booklets on the video game machines. A great way to plant seeds with a surprise! I wanted to do some witnessing but I had a feeling that I just couldn't, and had to leave. As I was driving my dad sent me a text message saying that I had to be home by 3:10 because we were leaving to my cousin's Dennis's house in Cupertino. And I actually got home right before 3:10! Later on in the afternoon we left and had a nice Easter dinner with my cousin's. Praise the Lord for this day and every day coming up in the future for the rest of my life until I see Jesus!!!

Yesterday was a very nice night well spent with few of my Church family. We were reading passages from the last part of gospels (or one of the gospels, don't know which one), but we read about Jesus's crucifixion and His Resurrection. And my pastor talked about why Jesus's sacrifice was so important, which of course is because He died for the sins of the world which is the most relevant thing ever. Because if it didn't happen, and the Resurrection as well, I am as hopeless as I can be, and my sins are not erased and there is no hope for eternal life at all. It is nothing but a big fat lie, but I do have hope because there were eyewitnesses that saw the Lord Jesus Christ rise from the dead and defeat it. I can certainly believe that if people saw them. But anyway's it was a very nice evening yesterday, and right afterwards there was desert. And one of the desert items was pumpkin pie! Yum! Then I talked with Sam and his brother Daniel about my future and what I was going to do since my dad is planning to move to Florida pretty soon. I had Sam pray for me and I told Daniel to pray for me as well. And I ask you as well. Then I left my Church building and was driving home, until suddenly and idea popped into my head that I should go to this Church building near my house called Warm Springs Community Church. God was simply telling me to place some tract booklets there and also on the cars that were parked. So I did just that, and also prayed that the booklets I put on the driver's window would not fall off before sunrise the next morning. Then afterward I left and drove home. I am thankful for even small events like that, because they matter in a HUGE way that can be used by the Lord God Almighty. Amen.

On April 5th, which was yesterday I was in my advisory class just doing what I do, listening to my music and my advisory class had a substitute for my advisory teacher Mrs. Zimmerman. I had a Mark Cahill tract booklet, so I decided to give one to the sub once the bell had rung. Eventually the bell rang and I walked up to the sub Mr. Adams (that's his name) and said "Mr. Adam's, did you get one of these?" He said no and then asked what it was and I told him that it was a booklet that talked about what happens after you die, is there a God, is the bible a true book. And then he was interested and took the booklet from my hand and he thanked me for it. Then afterwards he had something to give me, and it was two smiley face stickers. He gave them to me and told me to keep it up and was smiling back to me. Later on during lunch time I went to my old English teacher's class to do some TA work and then I left to the courtyard. I talked with a student who hangs out there named Brandon and I asked him about what he thought about the Mark Cahill tract booklet I gave him. He told me it was good, but he also said that he doesn't believe in God. I talked to him about the reality of Hell and Brandon did not take it lightly. He thought it was funny, but it wasn't at all. Please pray for Brandon and asked the Lord to open his eyes to the shortness of life and how short it is compared with eternity. Please. Praise the Lord for this day!!! I plant the seed and God gives the increase! Amen!!!

Today was no April fools joke at all! Today was in fact another blessed day with my favorite believers and followers of Jesus (well most of them, except my friend Brent who was not here today haha). I woke up late as always to go to my Church building in the morning, and arrived there late and saw my friend Brian and also Andy who were just waiting for him. I met Austin in the morning as well then went upstairs to listen to one of our pastors speak, which was a nice message as usual. Then I met a new friend and his name was John. He is a currently an enrolled at UC Davis and we were just chatting about apartments and school. Then he left and I chatted with other people. Later on, I met my friend Curtis and we decided to go to Taco Bell for lunch. So me and Curtis, and his dad who drove us there, went to Taco Bell and my friends Austin, Brian and Andy met us there about a few minutes after we got there. We were eating lunch and talking about various things then me and my bro Austin took out our bibles and started reading sharing verses and talking about it. Then all of a sudden a lady says "praise the Lord!" and we both turn and look to our right and a woman was there. She was telling us how it was very good for us to be reading the Word of God and she said God Bless you and praise the Lord again. Let me tell you that was an awesome feeling for the both of us. Then her husband who was named Perry that we met, came and he started talking to us about the bible and about Jesus return to earth and about the signs of the end that all of us found interesting. We had a very nice talk and then I shared with Mariela, (that was the woman who said praise the Lord), about the book one thing you can't do in Heaven. She told me she heard of the author, but never read the book. Then me and my friends talked with Perry more, and then I asked Mariela (Perry's wife) if I could have their number so we could contact them. She happily agreed and told us that they have a fellowship this upcoming Friday at 7 if I remember correctly, near the Great Mall or at the Great Mall. And their house is literally across from Dave and Busters from what they told us. And before all of this happened, after I ate my food I decided to get a Mark Cahill tract booklet and walk over to this guy to give it to him. I asked him "did you get one of these?" He told me that he didn't and I told him that it talks about what happens after you die, is there a God, the truth of the bible. And he told me thanks and I asked him what his name was and he told me his name was Richard. Then I introduced myself as well and told him to apply what he read and really think about it. Then after we left Taco Bell I left with my friend good friend Austin back to our Church building to have some worship together. It was so awesome!!! It was such a blessed time today to meet Perry and Mariela and also to give a tract booklet to that lost soul just standing in line. God is to be glorified today!!! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!!! Amen!!!
