CEBC!!!! ~ Day 2, 3

More about CEBC... On the second day I ended up not being able to open-air preach again even though I wanted to, but God still used me. So, on day two, I mostly just handed out tracks while staying under cover (due to some stuff that happened on day one) but at the very end of the day, I had a really good one-on-one conversation. By this, I mean that I was able to talk to four teens who seemed very open, and I was able to share with them the message of not only God's law leading to repentance, but also of His grace. Most of the time, my teammates had been able to share only the law with someone before the person left or they had to leave but I was able to share both. Another thing is that although we passed out a lot of tracks, when my partner and I walked the trail, we only saw one track that someone had dropped.. Well, there was a second track, but as soon as we had seen it, some kid picked it up and commented to a friend to make sure that the friend hadn't dropped hers. Another thing is that the second day, my partner was one of my team's leaders and it was cool because when I mentioned my friend Shaney and how I had learned about CEBC, my team leader remarked that she had had Shaney on her team last year (By the way Shaney, Rhonda says hi!).

The third and last day was harder than the other days to stay under cover because while we were at the tree, the other teams were throughout the trail and those who were trying to shut us down were watching our teams. Durring this night, I was more afraid than I had been other nights and that fear pretty much shut me down. However, God still used me and got me through that fear by being able to witness to a Mormon girl who was there with her family as well as getting to see a friend who I'm not sure is a Christian. Although I was wanting to open-air again, apparently, God had a different plan because I never did get to. Another thing is I found out that apparently, I'm very good at blending in because although many of my teammates got caught, and were told to move to a certain area, I was never spoken to. Throughout these last two nights God really taught me how fear of man truly isn't logical and how important it is to be well-grounded in my faith.
