Miracles in all shapes and sizes

Sent June 16th, 2015

Rakkaat ysävät,

This one has been a week of miracles. Let me elaborate:

Our investigator P has a baptismal date! We sat down with her this week and laid out the plan and set all of our appointments leading up to her baptism with her right there so that she wrote them into her calendar. At church on Sunday, she was telling all of her friends (she has a lot of friends in the Relief Society) about her date and showing them her planner with all of our appointments written in. She is so excited for it and so ready. This is it, and I can feel it.

We met an AWESOME young woman on Tuesday. Events panned out perfectly for us to meet her - we were running late and trying to catch a bus, and the one we normally take passed before we were at the stop, so we hopped on the next best one.  Sisar Johnston happened to sit right next to her and start up a conversation, which I then joined when we happened to get off at the same stop as her. She just found God and religion a MONTH ago, and her faith was already so strong and she was so excited - so excited that she even yelled "Hallelujah!" on the street haha. We talked about all sorts of things with her and gave her a Book of Mormon and a pamphlet and we got her phone number. She was so cute and completely blown away by the fact that there is a prophet on the Earth today and said she was going to go inside so she could start reading the Book of Mormon. When we explained how this is the only true church of Jesus Christ she said, "I get that people want to try to find their own faith, but if this is the true church then everyone should go there!" That pretty much sums it up. She was so cool.

On exchanges in Jyväskylä

While waiting for a bus in Jyväskylä, I realized that with both mine and Sisar Pace's cash combined, I was 0,10€ short of the fare. We said a prayer together asking Heavenly Father to help us either find a 10 cent coin or provide another way for me to get on the bus so we could find an ATM. A coin did not magically appear (rats) but when the bus came I told the driver my situation and he said, "Today you get a sale!" Heavenly Father answered my prayer by giving me a nice bus driver. 

These are only the beginning. There are miracles in the air, not just the spring humidity.

Stay shiny!
