I left St.Thomas around 10: 50 AM for Aylmer and arrived about 20 minutes later. I went up town but was unable to get into any conversations for a little while. The first real dialogue that I had was with a young man named Adam. The conversation seemed to be very profitable as he recognized his standing before God. I think I was able to clear up some issues for him concerning justification by grace. |

I had wanted to initiate some conversations with some Mennonites while I was there (seeing there is a large Mennonite community in Aylmer) but found it difficult to talk to them. They were very polite but did not seem comfortable talking to me. I wonder if there is a barrier due to clothing because the Mennonites in that area tend to dress quite different from the population as a whole. I did, however, get into a little talk with two women and a man who were all very cheerful and kind. They seemed to understand God�s grace and I believe they were saved. They also gladly accepted a tract saying �We can always learn more.� |

At some point I took a quick walk through the park and said �Hi� to the ducks. |

I met three teenage guys near the High School who were very open to talk. It went very well and one of them accepted a Bible. Jordan, Travis and Eugene were trusting in their kindness to merit them with God, but I believe that they saw that this was impossible. I explained the cross to them and God�s grace and they went on their way.
There were many other good conversations and no really bad ones. Some good ones were Paul who I believe is saved, John who was hoping that his spiritual efforts would be good enough to satisfy God and Mike and Vicky who seemed to have a bit of Biblical knowledge and who had discussed these thing before, I think. I trust that the Lord has been glorified today with the preaching of His amazing grace. My hope is that many may come to faith in Christ.
