We were able to visit with many people using the "More than Gold" pins to share the Gospel. Later we prayed together as we prepared to begin our shift. We worked at one of the Transit stations near the "Ozone" venue. Our job was to give out as much hot chocolate as possible, distribute our testimony booklets and Gospels, sharing our pins while drawing the people into conversations that would allow us to share. We made sure to carry chocolate to all the Security workers as well as bus drivers also. One of the Security Guards told us that he didn't have time to read at home, but he took and read the Gospel of Mark during his shift! (He also did his job very well - the crowds were very well behaved.) I hope to see him again tonight and talk more . We had the opportunity to pray for one young lady whose mother had just passed away. She was grateful that we were there and willing to listen to her. Many people enjoyed the Hot Chocolate, especially as the temperature dropped. We had many great conversations with people about Jesus. Serving several night in one neighborhood will give us the chance to see some of these people again. One of the groups that particularly enjoy us being at the transit station are those who live nearby. They enjoy our hospitality and wish that this part of the Olympics would last beyond the closing ceremonies.
We estimate that we passed out over 800 cups of chocolate in about four hours. We had a great time doing it too. We gave out all of our pins and had to get more!

Please pray for us that we will be lead by the Spirit to talk to those he has prepared for "divine appointments". Keep those we were able to visit with in your prayers, Pray that God will bring them back to visit with us again, or to another station where His workers are serving and waiting.
