San Francisco is full of the weirdest people you'll ever meet. I love it.
So as missionaries, we do a lot of the same things everyday. At times you can fall into a mundane routine. This week we were trying to make sure we weren't going through the motions.
then we got a English class referral, almost the epitamy of the same old routine. we got our lesson set
up and started off with the usual figure out their English level. but that morning instead of just saying hey we're gonna teach God's our loving heavenly father, and we chose a scripture (1 Nephi 21: 15-16) which usually we would have done during the lesson. but we read her the scripture and she started to cry. she then went on to tell us that she had recently moved because their old house caught fire and they lost everything. she had been going through a lot of hard things, and that verse we shared with her (which is an Isaiah verse) was the very first verse that spoke to her. she told us in that moment she knew God was taking care of her.

"yet will I not forget thee... I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands"
Jesus christ will not forget about you. He has lived your life. He experienced what you experience. I know he is with us.
