I went to the mall yesterday to do a little reading and then pick up some groceries when something unexpected happened. I made a new friend. I was sitting in the food court reading and planning for La Libertad when I noticed a young girl glancing my way. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I got up to go to the restroom and when I returned she was there. Except now she was closer and she seemed more frequently look my way. Finally, after about ten minutes she approached me.
"Excuse me", she said, "What are you working on?." I told her and then invited her to take a seat and join me. After some more small talk this young, sixteen year old highschool student began to pour out her life story to me. We sat and talked I am sure for over an hour. I invited her to church, and talked to her about God. She tols me she was a Christian but not many of her friends were. So, we also exchanged numbers and I told her if she wanted to hang out again or needed anything to call me.
It was a cool meeting and I believe God put that together for a reason. I will be praying for Diana and ask that you would too. Even though she is young she has seen and experienced many things I cannot imagine experiencing in my lifetime.
