We taught Lucy a couple more times this week. Like everybody here, she is also a part of the crew searching for a job. When we first found her, I testified that if she reads the Book of Mormon, God will bless her with a job. Although it may take time, God will bless her. She explained to us that she found a job washing clothes, making $15 a day. She was a little sad that she can only work 1 day a week. We said "That's what you get when you aren't specific in your prayers. You only prayed to find a job, you didn't pray to find a job working every day."
One day we couldn't find a man in our ward to join us with some lessons we had, so we asked an investigator if he wanted to help us and he said it would be a pleasure. We went to a couple of lessons, and at the end, he bore his testimony about how we've changed his life, and that we are really here to bless and serve people. It was super powerful.
Always remember, the Lord blesses each and every person that takes time to read the Book of Mormon. If we truly put God first, and have goals, in the end God will prepare what we need if we read this book. For me, I decided to read the Book of Mormon in Spanish out loud. Through my errors and mistakes, I can now read better in Spanish than I can in English and I can speak very fluently. We have a member in our ward who is special needs that can't read very well. He read the Book of Mormon and now he can read. And like Lucy, who read a little and after 6 months of searching for a job, God puts one in her path. For any of you, if you want to accomplish something read the Book of Mormon and God will bless you. It has power and so many blessings.
Love Elder Rich
