Tonight was Ultimate Frisbee night and as usual it was a blast!! Our team didn't win, but boy did we have spirit! Plus I got to hang out with my ward friends and what could be better than that?! We started playing at 9 and ended at about 11pm like we always do. Unfortunately, when we all went to get our stuff one girl couldn't find her keys (2 keys- car and apt- very important stuff). We had a group of about 8 people all scouting the grass in the dark w/ our glow sticks and still could've find it. The memory flashed in my head of a story Lonnie (my sister) had told me about Zane (my nephew- 5yrs) offering a prayer when an object had been lost during a trip to the park with his dad and the young men. They had already scowled the area and not had any luck. But after a simple prayer it was found. I had a very strong thought/ feeling that we should say a prayer. At first I didn't want to suggest it because I was afraid/ embarrassed, but I felt so strong about it I finally suggested it and we were able to say a prayer asking to find her keys. And seriously, about 10 seconds after saying the prayer one of the guys found them. This experience was such a strong testimony to me of just how much our Heavenly Father cares for us and how he is always looking out for us. Even in the smallest and simplest of things. We just have to listen for his voice and exercise our faith. I can't even begin to explain the amazing feeling I received and was blessed with. I am so thankful for the spirit and the guidance it gives us.

Very neat. Good job stepping up and suggesting to pray. Funny how you can still feel silly even when you're with members of the church, huh? But once you said it, no one laughed.
i was going to say the same thing as brenna: funny how even though you were with members of the church you still felt odd suggesting prayer. but that is so awesome that you did! you are really on top of things and in tune of the spirit
