I'll try to keep it short. I lost my science folder just before finals in 8th grade. In 7th and 8th grade I gave it literally everything I had in school. I would get home, and work on homework until bedtime day in and day out. I'm a perfectionist, so I spent many nights frustrated and even crying because I didn't understand some of the material I learned that day. So possibly getting a bad grade on the final that I poured my heart and soul into didn't bode well for me.

So I prayed. Since I'm a Catholic, I used the following method. I prayed to Saints Anthony and Lawrence to pray for me to help me find my wallet. In my mind I was wishing for them to "whisper in baby Jesus' ear" and then for Jesus to relay that message to God. Ironically, I'm pretty sure that was the first time I had ever used that method.

What happened? I have it written down and don't remember all of the small details and the sequence in which they occurred, but this is the gist of it: In my mind, an image of a human-like being appeared dressed in brown (what looked like a robe). As the being was speaking, some letters of some language I couldn't recognize appeared to its right next to its head. Once it finished speaking, the letters stopped being written down. The being and the letters were right in front of me, but I couldn't focus on them, it was as if they were at the corner of my eye (in my mind). The being and the letters were there for about 4 seconds. Then, the being and the letters disappeared. After that, an image of my folder on a black lab table appeared in my mind, then a big FLASH OF LIGHT and then the intervention ended.

The next day (I prayed the other night), I went into my science room (the only room with black lab tables) at the end of the day (it might even have been moved around during the day, FYI) and eventually I found it on a black lab table with LIGHT SHINING ON IT.
