Huge Praise/ Prayer Request!

So last night I was eating dinner with my director and I asked what she was doing for Chusok, the holiday where Koreans go to family's houses, eat a lot, and worship/give thanks to their ancestors and ask them for blessing for another year. This led into a conversation about matters of faith and we talked for about an hour! I was able to explain the gospel and give my testimony of the grace of God in my life! She asked about Easter so I worked my way through trying to explain the significance of Jesus coming to Jerusalem, the fact that He lived the perfect life, the fact that He was God in the flesh, the Trinity, why the High Priest wanted to kill Jesus, what Jesus death accomplished on my behalf, and the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. All throughout, she was asking questions about things she did not understand and when I'd finished explaining I was blown away! "So Jesus was punished instead of you," she said! She got it! She understood the gospel! So on the walk home I was praying, "Lord, don't let her walk away from this conversation unfazed! Let her keep thinking about all of this over and over and over again!" I ask everyone else to pray with me too! Pray that we would have more chances to talk and that I would speak as the Holy Spirit guides me! Pray that her heart would be soft and open to the love of Christ! Thanks everyone!
