You have witnessed a transformation!!!
Look back to when you first accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
Look back at the person that you were then, and the person you are now. There should be much to see of the change in yourself.
Praise and give the glory and thanks to God for this change in yourself and then smile and get out there and keep planting the seeds, and watering the seeds, for you will see plenty of these people in heaven and be glad that God allowed them to grow.

Well, its nice to meet a fellow laborer. Just keep in mind, one person plants the seed, someone, and someone else reaps the harvest. But its God that makes the seed grow. Take Joy in the fact that your doing what God wants you to do, and faithfully plant the see. Don't get caught up in wanting to see a person make a "decidsion" right then and there. We should aim for "repentance" not a "decidsion for Christ." Otherwise, you might be tempted to twist and change the gospel to something that it isn't, and that might lead people into a false sense of hope in salvation, that they don't really have.

The best way is to plant the seed and let the Holy Spirit work. Pray for these people, and perhaps if they need help they will come to you.

Philippians 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
