A few weeks ago my companion and I were getting ready to go to the store to pick up a few things. Before we left, we decided to do a few more things around the house and just leave a few minutes later than we had planned. The timing ended up being perfect! While we were in line at the store, a woman behind us got our attention and asked us if we're missionaries. She was so excited when we said yes and she wanted to talk to us outside after she finished checking out. We ended up talking to her in the parking lot for a long time. It turns out that she's been taking lessons with another set of missionaries in her area and she's actually already on date to be baptized! She had been having a really rough day before she ran into us and had been praying for someone to talk to. We were able to address some of her concerns and we even ended up praying with her right there in the parking lot! If we had decided to leave the apartment when we originally planned to, we would have never met her. I feel so grateful that we were given the opportunity to brighten someone's day and help her come closer to Christ. The Lord's hand is so evident in every aspect of this work. I can see his influence in everything we do out here in the field. I love being a missionary and sharing the light of Christ with everyone!!
