Then one day he was at the local community center and a man started talking to him and asking him about his life. Pretty soon he was telling the man his story and the man said, "why don't you come to my house for a meal and tell my family this story." Turns out he had met our pastor. Over time, their meals and fellowship became a solid foundation for a friendship and then ... one day ... he started asking about this "Jesus" the pastor kept talking about.
He became a Christian a few months later and was baptized. His testimony was so AWESOME when he shared it at church. He continues to walk with Jesus and grow in his faith. Right now he is excited about the growth of Christianity in the underground churches in Iran. He can't wait to go back as a missionary.
So ... on another note, I was in Baltimore this weekend. My daughter and her friend attended Otakon 2012 dressed like this:

While they played at the convention, I toured Balto (city of my birth) and geocached. It was lovely having NO ONE demanding my attention! Here are some photos of what I saw:

I just love tugboats.
Big Russian ships
Flag at Fort McHenry (you know -- Star Spangled Banner fame?)
Guns pointing out to where the British were anchored.
Oh say does that star spangled banner still wave
o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?

I recently finished a series of books about a private investigator who lived in Baltimore - she LOVED her city & it was fun hearing about all these places that she talked about :)
Can't wait to see your before & after pictures!
