Witnessing at Sonic

Just a little post about a witnessing encounter last night.

Last night, after Youth Group I went to Sonic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Drive-In) with some friends. I had intended to order something, since was about 9:30 PM and I hadn't had a chance to eat earlier, but there were a couple of guys there just hanging out, so I struck up a conversation with them using the curved illusion tract. (http://www.livingwaters.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=222). I never ended up getting anything to eat because I had such a long conversation with these guys that I forgot to get any food. :) Both guys had a catholic upbringing, and both guys considered themselves to be good people, but after we went through the ten commandments and the good person test(http://www.goodpersontest.com/), I think they both saw that according to God's standards, they fell far short. I believe the fact that they needed Christ's righteousness was really hammered home to their hearts. The two guys names were Carlos, and Germany (yep, just like the country). Carlos actually worked at the Sonic, so he had to leave partway through the conversation, but I was able to talk to Germany for a good 30 minutes. Both guys showed quite a bit of conviction, and Germany thanked me for the conversation as we were leaving. Germany is 17, and attends Duncanville High School. Another person to keep in your prayers.
