My missionary man

Something pretty amazing happened this past Saturday while Ella and I were at her Nutcracker audition. Hrishi had his first missionary experience as a non-member of the church and he was not on the receiving end, but on the giving end.

We were going to go the audition and he was going to stay home and wait for the exterminator to take care of some ants. As it's his wonderful habit, he was tiding the living room before the man came. I had left Ella's scriptures on the coffee table as I switched bags (used her church bag as a ballet bag just for that day.) As it's also his habit of keeping things clean and clear, he was going to put all the books on the coffee table, including the scriptures in the drawers but he said he got a feeling that he should leave them out. And he did.

This man, the exerminator, came in, did his job and noticed the Book of Mormon on our coffee table. He started asking questions about it and Hrishi answered the best that he could, letting the man know that he was actually not a member of the church but his wife (me) was. As it turns out this man had seen the TV special on Mormons a few days back and became interested in knowing more. Hrishi handed him the Book of Mormon and gave him the last week's ward program pointing out to him the Elder's phone number. Wow!! How amazing is this? How the Lord loves his children and always finds a way to reach out to them? Through us. Through my lovely "dry mormon" husband! :) He shared that with his close hunting Omaha buddy, Dennis, who is LDS and a very close family friend of ours. The Lord works, that I know.

I love my Hrishi so so much! He is the most amazing person! He's been working so hard and long hours lately and we miss him a bit ... well, a lot!!!!!!!
