Good news from ISKCON Silicon Valley
I got an opportunity to glorify Srimad Bhagavatam to my Chinese boss, as she was asking me some questions about my upbringing, culture, etc. After talking about SB and how it helped me not only learn philosophy but also English and other subjects, she insisted that I offer her a entire copy to teach it to her own kid.

A man sitting on his front porch and solving some work issues on his laptop asked what our purpose was in coming there. Later he asked questions about how to influence his family to practice Krishna consciousness. Siddha Katha Prabhu patiently gave him many reasons why the Bhagavatam should be read and worshiped at home, but still he was not convinced to get the set.
Finally, when we were about to leave he was saying that in this community they are calling the police if they see strangers and thus it was not safe for us to go door-to-door. So we asked him whether it was okay to sit in front of his house and have prasada? He said that it was fine. Devotees all sat on the curb and started enjoying prasada. After a few minutes the man came to us and said, "I want to buy the set."
We all were so happy that he had a change of heart. We never know how Krsna wants to reciprocate. All we have to do is just try our best.
Param vijayate sri krishna sankirtanam!
Also, Krishna Karuna Prabhu singlehandedly distributed a set of Bhagavatams near his home while he was waiting for his ride one day.
