So apparently the rainy season is over here in Japan, yet the weather has been crazy! We have had a lot of rain on and off, and even a few lightening storms.
One day, Southworth Shimai and I went out just to drop off a card for a sick member before we started our Weekly Planning Session. On the way back to our apartment we stopped this girl and talked to her about the Book of Mormon and God. We gave her a Book of Mormon, and not even 30 seconds after we biked away, it started POURING. We were soaked within seconds. The miracle? It didn't start raining until AFTER we talked to the lady. Had it started while we were talking to her, it probably would not have gone as well.
The other miracle we saw recently blew my mind. We were knocking doors when we ran into a very religious woman. She was VERY devoted to God and talked about Him, Jesus Christ, and the Bible with so much enthusiasm. We gave her a Book of Mormon and she got SO EXCITED. We talked to her for an hour at her door. It was great!!
I know that the Lord looks out for each and every one of us and hears our prayers. He wants to shower us with a rain of blessings. But if you are stubborn, prideful, or living in a way you shouldn't it is like using an umbrella in the rain. The blessings are in reach, you just have to let go, turn to the Lord, and let them rain down on you. (1 Nephi 11:16-17)
