Thanking God for an answer to prayer, Plus

Jay and I have been visiting pastors and asking to share in churches around the area. We are offering to share about Wycliffe and our ministry in a regular church service, Sunday school, small group or where ever.  We want the opportunity to share about the need for Bibles to the Bibleless communities in the world. There are around 2000 languages without any of the Bible in their own heart language.  This affects approximately 350 million people where translation projects have not begun. Heart language is the language spoken in your home, the one closest to the heart with the most understanding for a person.
So one Pastor took us up on our offer and asked us to share in the church this Sunday.  While it is my Sunday to work,  I thought, I have coworkers who will switch with me.  The next day I worked I called my usual co worker who switches with me.  She said she was not able to.  Then someone suggested a friend who recently stopped working full time but was still willing to work some. I called her and she said she was unable.  I asked several more coworkers who said they would check. I was offering to work a 12 hour weekday if they could just work my 8 hour Sunday. I kept praying and asked others to pray also.  Then the next day at work my friend called me back and said she would work for me and I do not have to switch days. ....so I get an extra day off .....a plus answer to prayer! God is more then good!!!
