On Saturday, I had a young man come to me asking me to buy his bamboo jugs for drinks, etc. When I gave him a New Testament, he sat down & had a long talk w/me.  I told him he spoke excellent English, & I'd bet I could tell part of his life story - "he lived in the USA, got his tatoo's there, joined a gang in L.A., got in trouble, landed in jail,  & got deported back to Mx."  Carlos' jaw dropped as he said I was RIGHT.  I told him he needed Jesus in his heart, & Jesus would change his ways & give him life eternal.  He told me he heard about Jesus while in jail, but no one ever gave him a Bible, and he promised to read it as I showed him the verses which pointed him to salvation in Christ alone. He was a great guy, (probably mid-twenties), & he said he'd bring me a gift before we leave on this coming Tues.  Well, yesterday, he arrived at our camper with a gift, & a hug, and we introduced him to another friend who had a similar story (who we had invited over for lunch & a Billy Graham 30 min DVD), & told him that our guest would speak more to him about Jesus when they meet again on the beach. (they had never spoken, but knew each other by sight). He had to leave right then, but I felt a peace that God had put these two together, and the Holy Spirit would make this happen.
