Miracles Happen

Hello Everyone! The highlight for our week was on Friday. We were having our district meeting and at the same time our mission president was having a meeting with our stake president. Anyways... during our meeting both him and the stake president come in for a second (which was scary). And they talk with us for a little while. Then our mission president came and stood by my companion and i and he puts his hand on my shoulder. He says "Elders you have Becky and Amy with a baptism date for the 31st right?" We reply "Yeah, but we will probably be needing to reschedule the date because she is still working on the Word of Wisdom." President's reply was unsuspected. He said "well what you need to do is go over there today, take away her pack of cigarettes (we never mentioned smoking, just said word of wisdom), and give her a blessing and commit her to that date!" We replied "yes president." and so we did just that.....well almost. She wouldn't let us take her cigarettes she wanted to finish the last few because she was stressed because her mom was in the hospital....anyways we explained she needed to stop the next day and stay stopped.... she said yes. So that was super cool! However...she wont be baptized on saturday. She is having a birthday party for her daughter (Amy) and so she will be the 7th!!! MIRACLES ARE REAL!!!! Other than that...the week has been pretty boring! We have been busy but not anything awesome like above happen. So for my spiritual thought I wanted to share this wonderful mormon message with all of you. It is a wonderful thought!!! So have fun watching it!!! http://www.mormonchannel.org/watch/series/mormon-messages/gordon-hinckley-lessons-i-learned-as-a-boy-1 I hope you all have a fantastic week!!! Love you all!!!
