......................Her GerMANY Adventures: Have the Days of Miracles Ceased? (Jan 30

Meine liebevollen Freunde!

Disclaimer: This email is way longer than normal, but I'll never do this week justice through email!! Just take my overall word for it, and know that I really saw God's hand in my life this week, and how grateful I am for Him!!

Miracle #1: Mike
After a very inspiring zone conference on Tuesday, we decided to set and follow a prayerful morning goal for contact/finding new people for the day. In order to achieve our goal of 3 new contacts on this particularly busy Wednesday, we would need to talk to everyone we possibly could between tasks! We found some GOLDEN people that day, one being Mike! I could barely believe it when he told us, but he met with the missionaries in Italy and loved it, but lost contact because of the elders transferring and he moved! I'm so excited to start working with him! #he'sabro

Miracle #2: Pkay
Pkay was also found on the street, and loved that we "preached Jesus". We met up with him at the library for a lesson (accidentally in the silent section at first, whoops!) He had little time but seemed to like the Book of Mormon and said he'd read it. Fast forward a day, we texted him with how it was going and he said "It's going very good, but I think people loot at me a lot when I read on the train, but I don't really care!" He sent us pictures of scriptures he marked. Oh it was so beautiful to see him learning through the Spirit

Miracle #3: Joseph
Okay this one probably isn't a miracle because we had no worries, but Joseph passed his baptismal interview!! AHHHHH oh my goodness, it's getting real and he is getting baptized on Sunday! He is so excited and so so so ready!

Miracle #4: Always Act on Promptings
After church, we had lunch with an awesome part member family. Towards the end, I got the prompting to invite the husband to meet with us. I worried about not asking the member first, but the prompting just grew to strong for me to ignore. I asked, and it went well! Afterward, I apologized to the member for not asking her first, and she shocked me by saying, "Why?! I prayed the ENTIRE time that you would say that!" As Pres. Monson teaches, one of the best feelings is to act on a prompting only to learn later you answered someones prayer.

Miracle #5: Tablet
Yesterday, on the way home from an appt. I happened to leave my tablet on the bus... I was really frustrated with myself, because that has basically everything I need on it. I'm human, I turned inward and did not want to pray and ask God to help me with something so worldy and in the long run, not a big deal. I turned to my scriptures, and found the words speaking to, telling me that God would give freely if I'd just simply ask. For me, it was a leap of faith, and I put all of my trust in him. Shortly after, the bus company notified me that they found my bag in a corner on the bus, untouched. A sweet answer to a prayer, and a sweet missionary moment that came from it (no doubt I shared this story with the office dude, along with the marked Book of Mormon scriptures and my testimony inside!)

I definitely don't know it all, but I know that God lives, and cares about His children individually. I'm grateful for a patient, loving Heavenly Father!

Alles Liebe!
