A Week of Miracles

Dear friends and family!

 

I don't have much time to write, but this week was a week of miracles. We found 6 new people to teach (three of which are families!) I'm very excited for these new people. :)  We also had a wonderful zone meeting and zone conference this week.

 

Friday evening after we had finished up a teaching appointment we had 15 minutes before we had to be at our dinner appointment. We weren't sure what to do, so we decided to head in the direction of the dinner appointment. (Better to be a little early, than late, right?) Well, as we were driving down the street, the thought came to me that we should stop and visit some of the former investigators that we had a record for. I had never met them, but Sister Crosby and I had tried to contact them several times. We found the house, parked, and knocked on the door. A woman answered. When she saw who we were, she very warmly welcomed us inside. She told about how she had been praying for 3 or 4 weeks for some help with a legal issue that someone in her family going through. Just the day before, charges were dropped and her prayers were answered. She asked us "how did you know to come here? It must be an omen! (a good one)" We only visited for 10 minutes--but she expressed her desire to be baptized. :) It was neat to see how following a simple prompting can bring miracles.

 

lds.org defines a miracle as "an extraordinary event caused by the power of God."

 

I know that's true. I see miracles daily.

 

I like to ask myself at the end of the day "What was a happy surprise today?" "What was my favorite part of today?" and "When did I see the hand of God in my life today?" When I've had a hard day, reflecting on my blessings always brightens my outlook on life. Give it a try. :)

 

Well, kids, folks, and friends, I must bid you adieu. Have a lovely week and look for the miracles!

 

Love,
