testimony builder

I just thought I would share a story that happened to us this past week. It was an amazing testimony builder and an answer to our prayers!
okay so here's the story. Ever since we moved to Arizona we had been going back and forth whether or not to sale Todd's little old truck. It had been a great truck for him, but it was starting to have a lot of problems for example: not passing the emissions test (so we couldn't get it registered), it had 225,000 miles on it, it needed new tires, the drivers side seat belt didn't work, the A.C. didn't work, and who knows what else. Anyway we had been praying about it and were trying to decide if we should put all the money into it that it was going to cost to fix everything, or try to sale it and buy something new. We took the truck to a mechanic and the total cost to get everything fixed would have been between $1,500-$2,000! BUMMER what to do? The truck was probably not even worth that much even if we were to get everything fixed. But at the same time we didn't want to go buy a car unless we could pay cash for it.
Todd drives A TON for work, (8000 miles since January) and I was very worried for his safety. Everyday that he would leave for work I would say a prayer that Heavenly Father would please keep him safe for just a few more days until we figured out what to do with the truck.
So here is where I can honestly say that I KNOW that my prayers were answered. We were sitting at home one night and we heard a knock at the door. Todd went to the door, and there was a little boy standing there who simply said "my dad wants to know if he can buy your truck!" WHAT? There was not even a for sale sign in the truck. How did they know we were thinking about selling it? Todd went out and talked to the guy. He explained that we were thinking about maybe selling it, but that there was A LOT of stuff that needed to be fixed on it and that he probably wouldn't want to buy it due to the problems that it had. The guy said "that's okay, I don't care about the problems that it has and I will give you cash for it right now." (yes, we told him everything that needed to be fixed)
Todd came in, we talked it over, and 15 minutes later our truck was gone and we had cash in hand! How often does a complete stranger knock at your door and ask to buy something that doesn't even have a for sale sign in it!

And now my testimony. I know that Heavenly Father answered my prayers. As silly and simple as this problem may seem to others, my Heavenly Father new that it was a big deal to me. He kept my husband SAFE while driving a car that was very UNSAFE! I know that our Father in Heaven will ALWAYS be there for us, and answer our prayers no matter how big or small the things that we are wondering or asking are. The tender mercies that are given and shown to us each day are an amazing gift. I know that Heavenly Father will continue to answer prayers and will continue to show his love and mercy to each one of us as long as we are striving to live righteously!
