Dying miracles..



That is just what i am going to call every miracle that comes our way because i don't think i have ever had sooo many amazing miracles all in the same week.. I think it's Heavely Father's way of maybe saying, 'thanks, well done my good and faithful daughter..' Speriamo di si ameno. So i am too lazy to write it ALL out but i will give you the short version. We were on scambio. I left Sorella Warren in Piacenza and the other Sorella and i were almost all the way home to Pavia. Mind you it's giĆ  8:30 at night and all of a sudden my brain thinks KEYS.. They are with Sorella Warren.. So i call them, freaking out because we are going to have to sleep at the train station or get to Piacenza at 11o'clock at night.. So we are pulling up to another station and the missionaries on the phone in Piacenza said that we could maybe get off there.. I am thinking they are nuts because this train station is TINY and takes you nowhere but the Spirit said get off so as the doors were closing we hopped off and what do you know.. The trains take you no where invece di Pavia and Milano.. and then all of a sudden i realize that we are literally 10 minutes from the mission office. I will never ignore inspiration even though at times it seems the outcome is ridiculous.. Communquay we called the office Anziani and in the end of it all they came and got us with extra keys, and we got a car ride home. MIRACLE. Next.. This past week i was supposed to get a ride to consiglio from another Sorella but the snow was so bad that they got stuck on the road so Sorella Warren and i needed to take a train.. First of all, i will never take anything that happens as an accident again after this even if it seems inconvienent at first, GOD ALWAYS HAS A PLAN. So we sit down and this man sits next to us and he opens up a book. I look at him ask him if he likes to read and he turns out to be the most excited person to meet missionaries that i have ever met. He even gave me a gold plated pen because of the fact that i am out here giving my life to help others.. Good deal! He said he would come to church and get a BOM but people say that quasi every day so we got his number, and left him with a lesson and prayer. Well Sunday morning comes around and what do you know.. He shows up. He was with a member the whole time and took notes all three hours. Can anyone say ELECT?! We asked him how he felt after and he just gives us the biggest smile and said 'i am happy.' Such a simple answer that just struck my heart. Of course you are happy. LOOK WHERE YOU ARE! We also had Andrea with us and she gets baptized next SATURDAY! and a less active came to church with her two kids without us even pulling her to get here this week. SUCH AN AMAZING WEEK.. Tender mercies of the Lord kids.. and last but not least. We were at a train station Sunday night. Usually we stay outside to wait for the train but it was freakishly cold so we went to the waiting room they have.. This kid just walks up to us and says 'who are you?' And that is when it turned into teaching the whole room of people. We were able to get a number from one man, and a new investigator and her friend. Most amazingggggg week ever. I am so blessed. This Spirit i feel every day is so strong. I just start randomly crying with people now as i realize time is coming to a close.. They probably think i am absolutely crazy. I understand that i need to come home but it doesn't change the fact that it's hard. I love this gospel. I never knew how much love i could have tell i came here and found this love for my italians and this love for the gospel. This is why i am so grateful for eternities. It would be pointless to love so much and to feel so much if there wasn't anything else. I know there is with my whole heart. I know it is the gospel and every question we could ever have is answered through it. Love you all!
Con amore,
