BYU Scout Pow Wow and Prayer

Ben had the opportunity to attend the BYU Scout Pow Wow for a couple of Saturdays.  First off, he loved BYU campus and it stoked his fire about going to college.  I loved that.  :)  He loved being independent, attending his classes and grabbing a Subway sandwich on his own.  He is a good kid.  I just love Ben's pure heart and the way that he is honest with how he feels, whatever it is. 

Anyway, I was reminded of an experience he had this morning as I read over some past blogs.  On the second week, at the end of the day, he had to run to the other side of campus to finish his merit badge.  He became a bit disoriented and lost.  We got a call from the car pool to tell us he hadn't shown up for pick up. They waited about 45 minutes but in the end we told them to head on home and we would drive over to BYU.  

Well, in the mean time, Ben found his was back to the pick up spot.  He arrived to no one there.  A little time passed and he wondered what he should do.  He said he sat down on a little hill to think about it.  Then he said he realized he should pray.  He sat on that little hill and prayed that we would come get him.  That was right as I was sitting in the parking lot praying that I would be able to find Ben.  I started walking toward the pick up spot and Ben got up from his spot on the hill.  Really, just seconds later, I saw him and yelled his name.  :)  We both had our prayers answered.  And with such sweet timing.  I am so grateful for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  Prayers are powerful.  Sometimes I let that slip from my mind but little events like this remind me that our loving Heavenly Father is constantly watchful and waiting to answer our prayers.
