We've been praying our hearts out for guidance--to be in the right place, in the right time. This week it happened!
As we pressed through the rejections of a busy sidewalk, I saw a woman up ahead with three small boys around her. Of course when it came her turn, we went straight to testifying. Roxana told us that when she saw us and our tags, she felt something good so she decided--even before we approached her--that she would listen to our message. If that's not cool enough, she was extremely anxious to set up with us and called us beforehand, just to make sure we were still coming.
Our lesson with her went well. She was humble and asked good questions. When Sora Richards pulled a Book from her bag, Roxana's eyes brightened and she exclaimed, "Oh! I saw this on the card you gave me! Tell me about this book." (We'd given her a card with a picture of the Book of Mormon on the street). The best is when we told her about Joseph Smith--how he was confused and searching. She responded, "He was just like me." She went on to explain how she was praying for more answers and begging the Lord to put someone in her path who could teach her more. "And then I met you two," she said.
