If You Could Ask God Anything and He Would Respond, What Would You Ask?



From Cambree King
Teaching in Honduras

We were knocking some doors the other day and we found a girl who is 17 and her name is Karla. She has actually been to Church before and has listened to the missionaries. As my companion said the opening prayer, the thought came to my mind to ask her, If she could ask God anything and He would respond, what would she ask Him?

She completely opened up and began to explain her fear that the Lord wouldn’t offer sufficient forgiveness for all of the sins that she commits daily. She wanted to know if the Lord tires of our asking for forgiveness and how it is possible that everything we do can be forgiven. I was amazed at how the Spirit entered the room immediately. We explained the answer and she accepted to be baptized.

We planned a date to go back and around the corner, we passed her mom. We got her consent to teach her and her mom said, "She really wants to listen to you?" I guess that Karla hasn’t had much interest in these types of things, but it was a true testament of how the spirit can change hearts and how we must listen to every prompting that comes. It’s incredible to see the Lords hand in all that we do.
