Prayers are answered.

Hannah was working on a comic book for class.  She had worked on it really hard and was almost finished.  She had taken it to church, working on it during sacrament meeting in spite of my pleas not to, and ended up leaving it outside by a tree where all the kids put their things after church so they can run around in the grass.  She went to choir practice with Chuck to retrieve the book and to work on it, which she did.  However, when she got home she could not find the book although she HAD put it in her folder.  She thought maybe it had flown out of the jeep.  After searching in the house and the jeep, I took her back to church.  While we were driving I told her she should say a prayer and she told me she had.  We stopped to check out every piece of white trash in the street to make sure it was not the book.  We searched the hallways, the chapel and the foyer in the church to no avail.  As we were driving away and still investigating the trash we saw, a girl come out of the church (she had been in the bishop's office) and said "Oh, Hannah, I found your book."  What a testament to us all that the Lord hears and answers our prayers. Sometimes when the need is urgent, He answers them right away, often with/through other people.  But sometimes answers might come more slowly.  And although Hannah was not being very reverent by working on her book in sacrament meeting, the Lord still answered her prayer.
