Purposeful Prayer

Shame on us, I know, but we haven't been the best at remembering to pray for missionary experiences. In the past few months, we have made a better effort at changing this behavior. Most nights we remember to pray that we will be able to be examples to those around us and that we might be blessed to share the gospel with others. We've been in our new home for just over a year now and we haven't met anyone in the neighborhood. Amazingly (but obviously when you consider the source), as soon as we began having the missionaries in our home more frequently and also remembering our own duty to share the gospel and be the "finders", the Lord has put people in our path that we can fellowship. We have to consider these individuals as being divinely guided to us as we have never had this opportunity in our married life until this point. We have now met people in our neighborhood as well as we've had people contact us who have been less active members (via VT letters and such). Including a wonderful young sister I met today, these people are ready to have the gospel more fully in their lives. I know it is nothing that we have changed in our behaviors/actions except that we are having more purposeful prayers and the Lord is answering them.
