She Decided to Keep Walking Until She Found Her New Church‏

What a simple yet miraculous story of how our Heavenly Father knows each one of us and our needs.

Sarah is a young mother who moved with her family to the Springfield, Virginia, area in January.  As a result, she wanted to quickly find a new church to attend because her previous church was located many miles away from her new home.

To make her search even more difficult, Sarah did not own a car, so she literally walks wherever she needs to go, or occasionally takes the bus.  Early on her first Sunday morning, she began her search to find a new church in the area.  She was not familiar with the neighborhood, so she told herself to just keep on walking until she came to a church that would fit she and her kid’s needs.

She walked down the street and took a right turn and then a left, and then another right turn. She was literally “led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which [she] should do.” 1 Nephi 4:6.
