Another washing machine

Today we had a bit of a challenge: we thought of a family to give the last washing machine to but we didn't now if the family had a machine or not. It is a bit strange if you go to a family and just ask: do you have a washing machine? A very unusual question.... So our challenge was to figure out through casual conversation if they had a washing machine. As we were driving to the family I prayed that God would help me to find the right words and that it would be clear if it was good to give the machine to this family. When we arrived the 3 small kids were playing outside. We chatted a bit with them and than I went inside the house and started to talk with grandmother. And our chat went like this:
Me: Hello, how are you doing?
Grandma: Hello, I am oke, just a bit tired, I washed some clothes this morning.
Me: Do you wash by hand or do you have a machine?
Grandma: By hand cause the washing machine is broken and old.

And so I got the confirmation from God right at the being of our visit! We stayed some more and chatted about life and faith and how people always talk about other people etc. We prayed for the family and than at the end of the visit we took the washing machine and gave it to Sofia, the single mother with the 3 small children. She said: Now I will always think of you while washing clothes!
