Day 16

During General Conference I had the opportunity of referring one of my friends to the sister missionaries at Temple Square.  I was a little nervous because I had no idea what she would think, and I didn't want it to ruin our friendship, but I had a strong feeling that I should refer her.  I kept praying and praying that things would work out when the sisters called her.  I love my friend so much and I just want her to have the blessings of the gospel in her life because I know that it would help her so so much to overcome all the trials that she faces.  Anyway, last night I got a call from the missionary I talked to at Temple Square.  She told me that she had talked to my friend and that she said she wanted to learn more.  I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited :)  I didn't even know what to say or think.  The sister even said that we could do a conference call all together as she taught a lesson to my friend.  We're planning to do that sometime next week.

Anyway, this morning I got a text from my friend saying this:

"Hey Sarah!  I got a call yesterday from Brittany [the sister missionary], and omg!  I have to tell you, it was the weirdest thing because right before she called I was talking to God about wanting to do something extraordinary in my life and that I needed to find a purpose in my life.  And then I get a call from your friend!  [the missionary]  Hahaha it must've been a sign or something...but idk what the sign is!"

I know that my friend was meant to get the call from the sister at the time she did.  The Lord knew what my friend needed and he answered her prayer.  The joy I felt at that exact moment was like no other :)  My prayers that my friend would at least accept the challenge to learn more were answered!  I am so grateful to have a Heavenly Father who truly knows me and those around me individually.  He loves everyone...each in a very personal, unique way.  If anyone ever feels lonely or confused, they should turn to the Lord.  I can testify that he truly answers all our prayers.
