Daily Miracles

I need to be better about remembering all the wonderful experiences we have each day.  I'll share a couple that are fresh on my mind:

• The other day two of our Hermanas were in a cochea (a blitz) and it was time to return the chapel but one of the Hermanas got the impression they needed to pass by the park.  When they arrived at the park they heard many voices calling the name of the Hermana who wanted to pass by the park.  The voices belonged to five adolescents who she had taught in another area and they all had dates for baptism, but had moved before being baptized.  They place they had moved to was the very area where this Hermana was helping with the cochea and because they bumped into one another they can now be baptized!

• We are grateful to the leaders here who are worthy to receive revelation.  One of our branch presidents got the impression late one night that he needed to pass by the casa of the Hermanas that worked in his branch.  When he arrived at the casa the front door was open and he saw two people running out the back.  It turned out that an investigator had stopped by and brought two of her brothers, who had invited themselves in.  The Hermanas did not have the fortitude to dismiss the young men from their casa, but within 15 minutes of their arrival the branch president showed up.  We were able to remove the Hermanas from the area the next morning and train them on how to avoid such situations in the future.

• A rather funny incident:  two of our elders had been teaching a man who was having trouble with the word of wisdom.  He smoked cigars and just couldn't bring himself to give up his cigars.  The missionaries didn't know what else to do to help him.  One day they passed by his house to teach him again and he announced he was ready to be baptized.  The night previous, someone had stolen all his cigars and he took that as a sign from God that he needed to give up smoking.  He was now ready to be baptized!
