UPDATE

Today was a good day. I had an orthodontist appt today so I was curious how Tonie Marie would respond to her gift that I gave her 2 weeks ago. She thanked me for my thoughtfulness and said I had a way with words.

The best part of today was an email I received from my friend in Illinois. Unbeknownst to me she has had a history with Mormons. Not once did she ever bring it up when we were together. She said she was raised Catholic but had Mormon friends. She even attended seminary a few times with them and went to the Open House of the temple just a mile from where she lived. She said she was always curious about the Book of Mormon and she said she would READ IT!!!! with an open heart and mind!!!! YAY! Heavenly Father was right, "How great shall be your joy!

As I continued to follow J's progress I was surprised to find Jerome had mentioned "Happily Ever After" in his journal today. He appreciated the words of a Mormon apostle. :)

We don't know people's heart. We don't know what they are going through or have gone through. But Heavenly Father does. He knows but He needs us to help Him. We need to get over our fear. No one has yelled or gotten upset that I shared this with them. I think most people appreciate the gesture whether they read it or not. When they know you are Mormon they will watch you to see who you are and what you are all about. They will know that this book means enough to you to want to share it with others. But how will they know unless we tell them, unless we share that part of us with them? Be prayerful and be not afraid!

3 more to go!
