Hopeful

     Well to begin with the week we had, it was wet. It rained maybe three days of the week during proselyting time. Missy can tell you how awesome that is. Once again, this week was hard but we received a huge boost of hope last Saturday. We were contacting in the streets last week and found this one lady from Brazil. She had many questions on what is the purpose of this life and how can we live in a world that bad things happen to good people. Well we read 2 Nephi 2:11 with her and we she wanted the Book of Mormon. We gave it to her and set up a return appointment with her last Saturday. 

     Well, Saturday came and we called her to confirm the meeting. She answered and told us that she would call us back. This term, “I´ll call you back,” means that, please don’t bug me but I’m too nice to say I don’t want anything. We gave up hope on her so we continued our day about an hour later we get a call, and it was her! She did call back! We met with her in a park and she accepted to be baptized when she comes to know these things are true. We have another day set to meet with her and we're just stoked to teach her again. 

     Moral of the Story: Never think that God doesn’t answer your prayers. He will answer them. Just place yourself in line to receive that shower of blessings he desires for you to have. I know that many of these answers come through others and through your thoughts and actions. 

I love you,
