+Very nice older man, used to be a do not call. Mentioned sign in the yard, talked about model prayer, focused on kingdom, then read Dan 2:44, talked about the kingdom again, the read Revelation 21:3,4 to show promises. Left Kingdom Tract. His sons are pastors, very big Bible reader, has scriptures on his door. Probably a veteran, next time focus on the promises of peace that the Bible gives.
+
+Had scriptures on door:
+
+- James 4:10 - Humble yourselves in the eyes of Jehovah, and he will exalt you.
+
+- 2 Chronicles 7:10 - Then on the 23rd day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their homes rejoicing and feeling glad of heart over the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David and Solʹo·mon and Israel his people.
+
+- Matt 16-24 - Jesus teaching
+
+# April 28, 2025
+
+Stopped and shared Isaiah 65:21-23, focusing on the peace God promises humans for their future. Also read Rev 21:3,4 for further emphasis. Then turned to 2 Tim 3:1-5, and he said that's the world we're living in today, and we talked about the fact that we're living in the last days. Bruce suggested maybe covertly starting a study with him. Need to figure out how to do that.
+
+# May 9, 2025
+

+
+# May 21, 2025
+
+Read Jeremiah 29:11,12. Talked about the hope and future from God, then read Psalms 37:28 to show what that future is. He mentioned Matt 24, about the signs of the times of the end, so we talked about that, and how close we are to the end.
+
+# June 6, 2025
+
+Talked about Gods name, and he knew it was Jehovah. Read Psalms 83:18, and then talked about how Jesus magnified Jehovahs name. Then discussed how important it was to use his name in prayer. He agreed it was important to know and use God's name
+
+# July 26, 2025
+
+Offered creation magazine, talked about creation and state of the world. Read Genesis 1:1 and Romans 1:20,21. Mayyybbbee next time offer a study, see where it goes.
+
+
+
+Plenty of calls between then and now I'm just terrible at taking notes
+
+
+
+# September 10, 2025

+Talked very briefly, said his girlfriend was coming to visit shortly. Followed up from last week, shared Matt 24:3-7, where Jesus talked about the signs of the end, and then 2Tim 3:1-5, talked about the last days, and what comes after. 
+
+Maybe next time focus on the practical value of the Bible?
+
+# January 18, 2025
+
+Asked about study, but he said he wasn't really interested in it, but asked if he still wanted me to stop by and share things, and he said yes absolutely. Today talked about the Lord's prayer, into God's kingdom. Read Matt 6:9,10, then went into Dan 2:44, then into Rev 21:3,4. Was paying attention and answering questions, so I left the question "When will we see the effects of this kingdom on earth?".
+
+ Return and share 1 Tim 3:1-5, and find more Scriptures on the last days.
+
+# January 11, 2025
+
+Very cold, but was home. Introduced brochure, and showed introduction to Bible study video. He wasn't fully committed, but he said he'd think about it and let me know. I suggested I stop by next week, in hopefully warmer weather, and we can go over the first few paragraphs and see what he thinks. He agreed, so we'll see then.

+Found at home, ice truck was there but not white truck. Told him who I was, what was happening with Bill, etc. He was agreeable to sharing a scripture, so shared revelation 21:3,4, then left future tract. Said he'd pray for Bill. Very nice, seems to have spiritual interest.
