“Welcome! What did you bring us?" Mrs. Eleni from Trikala asked with a dose of anticipation when she saw the gift I left at her door. After explaining it was a New Testament, she looked at me and said, "We are old now. We're about to die. Do you know where we're going?".  
 
I couldn't believe my ears! It was the perfect opportunity to talk to her about the salvation Jesus offers! I opened the Word of God and read John 3:16 explaining that God sacrificed His Son for our sins, that He is resurrected, and that those who accept Him will have eternal life through Him.  
 
I suggested she pray on her own later, but instead, we decided to pray together. As we put our hands through her gate and looked at each other, she repeated a prayer of repentance after me. When the prayer was over, I saw a new person that had just been born in front of me! "Can I take a picture of you?" I asked. "Of course," she replied and stood in front of the camera giving me her brightest smile!
