The People in Your Neighborhood

Vacuum apartment weekly. Check. Thanks, Elder Hicken.

My area actually covers three cities: Port Richey, New Port Richey, and Hudson. All three cities are virtually the same. Each one has some well-to-do people and some not-so-well-to-do people.

The Lord is blessing this area though. We can see it every day as we talk to people on the streets and knock on people's doors. I love how devoted a lot of these people are to their religion. My companion and I always say, "Any church is better than no church."

There are certain areas we go to if we're looking to have a funny or interesting experience. There are always certain streets where we meet people who "have visions" or "are the second coming of Christ." You know, normal things like that. Most recently we met a man who says that he believes the only way to pray is to get high on mushrooms so you can connect to God.

With this in mind, I would like to bear my testimony on prayer. A couple days ago we prayed that we would find someone to teach if we walked around for 10 minutes. We went out and then found someone. Simple as that. Prayer works. If you don't believe it, try it. If you've tried it and it didn't work, try it again and be patient. God always answers our prayers if we 1) have a righteous desire, 2) ask in faith, and 3) believe that we will receive. Go give it a shot and I promise you there will be a miraculous result. Have a good week everyone.
