You can run but you can't hide

It is fun and spiritually uplifting to read the stories of faith from the missionaries each week. I liked this one:

"We found a lady named Angela. She was taught by the Elders a year ago and she now has a baptismal date. She came to church yesterday. We asked a bunch of kids on the street 'Who do you know that likes to talk about Jesus?' One of the kids said 'I know, follow me.' That's pretty much how we found Angela. She went up and bore her testimony on fast Sunday, it was priceless. She had the whole church laughing and she was talking about how excited she was to repent and get baptized. She said 'They just keep coming back! I moved and they still found me. It's always the missionaries from your church that keep finding me. When the elders came back for the second time my son said mom Jesus is on the front door! I told him he better not be, because we're not baptized yet!' The little boy that led us to her has a date [for baptism] also."
