Someone is always watching....

I had the amazing opportunity among my busy day to meet an amazing woman. Her name is Ann. This woman is from Africa. She is going here to school to further her education for greater job opportunities back home. This woman walked over and sat by my lonesome self today. I was pretty into my Microbiology Book...yes I'm a nerd, anyway, she walked over to my table and sat right down. She is 40 years old, with 4 kids back home in Africa with her husband. She was wearing a cute little grey sweat suit and a rainbow colored beanie. She had the most contagious smile. We started talking for quite a while, slowing getting to know each other. She had a pretty thick accent, but I still was able to understand her. (french is her 1st language). She said I was a pretty little girl and that God sent her to talk to me. As we talked for a while, we headed to the Caf to eat lunch. I thought maybe we would go our separate ways once we paid, but she said "Well....shoo we poot our begs on da table??" I said "of course" and then we went and stood in line for food. Throughout lunch we got talking about life and school. She made me realize how grateful I am to be able to get an education, for so little money. She said people back in her home would give anything to be in this place learning. She loves math.....What a funny lady.

Anyway, during our talking, church came up. She asked me if I went to church to praise the great god! I explained to her that I do, and I was a mormon! She said oh yes yes the mormons! Your Joseph Smith is great man. I believe everything you do. I believe in the Great God. What a great experience. Anyway, long story short...(who am I kidding...this is already a long story)...I am in the process of getting her a French Book of Mormon for her to read! She seemed so happy. I am so happy to have met my new friend Ann. I also believe her when she said that God will bring us back together again! So hopefully I will see her again. Especially so I can give her the Book.

You never know who is watching you. Always remember to be a great example. Not just a good example, but one that people will want to follow. We have a job here on this earth as members of the church! ♥how great shall be your joy in bringing save one soul unto Christ♥....
