She runs a tiny corner store in North Philly. One could easily mistaken it for a similar store in a developing country. A few weeks ago she stepped out the front door and found two missionaries on the sidewalk. Unfamiliar with these young men, she asked them who they were and what they were doing. One thing led to another, in a very good way, and this good women has started down a new path in her life.
She was born in Haiti and came to New York at age 14. During the week she lived with a local minister and his wife, and on weekends she would be with her mother. She always believed in God, but her actions were often in conflict with her beliefs.
She now reads the Book of Mormon and the Bible daily. She is eliminating addictions and is preparing for baptism.
I have the greatest respect for people like this woman who are open to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and are able to replace fear with faith.
