"Someone like me"

A few days ago I ate dinner at an older couple's house. After I had told them I was going to go on a mission, the woman said "You're going to find someone like me. I was ready for the truth even though no one else in my family was. My life has been so blessed because the missionaries found me. I'll always remember the ones who found me and brought me to the gospel and baptized me." She gave me a big hug to thank me. I almost started to cry. It made the whole thing a lot more personal. She is a very blessed woman. And to realize that I can help others to rise above their own current situations and find joy was a really touching realization once I had a face, a real life example, to put to it.
