Miracles on Miracles

This week there were two main miracles that stood out to us. So we were in a meeting and we were about to go down to this one meeting when an old investigator ended up giving us a call. We did not know what to expect, but he told us that he wanted to meet with us so we set up a meeting for an hour later. This guy is someone that has been jumping around from church to church and has definitely been prepared to meet with us. So as you know the main problem in Armenia is either 1) They smoke and drink or 2) They do not have a marriage license. This guy that we meet with does not drink, but does smoke. He has the desire to quit and that is all we need. So we were able to meet with him a little bit and talk to him about God. We told him that God sent us there to help him quit smoking. We gave him the plan of taking one cigarette each day and putting it in the trash so on the first day 1 and on the second day 2 and little by little he will be done smoking. We just have to wait and see where this guy goes, but he is definitely someone that could help out branch out a ton and has a ton of potential. 

Then the second miracle that I saw this week was when we were going up to a village about 10 minutes from where we live. That night one of my companions, Elder Ebbert called a random number that was in the phone which said that they lived in that place to see if they wanted to meet.  To our surprise, they told us that they wanted to meet. So the next day we went up to the village and he was waiting for us to show us where he lived in the village and that does not normally happen so that was a shock right there. Then after that we went into the house and there was a family of about 12 people. Some of them were kids and some of them were adults and grandmas. All different assortments of ages, but when we went in I was at ease and knew that the meeting was going to go well. They listened to our message attentively and accepted the invitation to read the Book of Mormon, but besides that it was something that Elder Webb said this week that really struck me. Our message is about Christ and his name is on our chest so we need to act like it. I mean in the lessons we spend a lot of time talking about Joseph Smith and that is important, but I just think that sometimes we forget the importance of teaching Christ's life. Just a thought that I had this week that we should just not forget the importance of His life and everything that He has done for us because after all it is everything and without Him there is no point to come to this earth. 

So there were more miracles that happened this week and there are miracles in your life all you have to do is reflect on your day and realize that that could not have been from the doings of you. Everything happens for a reason and look back on your day everyday when you get ready for bed at night think about your day and write down those miracles that you say and then you will begin to realize the Lord in your life a ton more. I promise that if you do this the Lord will give you more miracles to write down and you will be overall just more happy. I know this because I have done it and it has worked for me. So try it and you will see it work in your life I love you guys so much and have an amazing week!
