Being Thankful for Every Miracle Nov 28, 2016

Had a mission conference for Thanksgiving :) And we had to make a skit for it...The food was good. And of course always good to see everyone in the mission. Then the next day we put our Christmas tree up! And the "fireworks" have started. So we heard a huge boom and a bunch of çun's [I think that translates as mischievous boys] come around the corner, we walk around the corner and this hole is smoking...Let the fireworks/bombs begin haha Merry Christmas! Speaking of Christmas, thank you so much Sister Farrell and the mom for letters :D 

Being Thankful for Every Miracle. 

On Sunday we had been looking for a less active family's house with the elders, and after an hour we gathered back together and said a prayer. Immediately after a prayer this lady walked by, and we asked her if she knew where pillati 696 was--yes that's my pillatë...all of our faces dropped WHAT wow ok...when she got there the sweet little nëna was like yep here's my pillatë 996...wait 996 not 696?...yep...

Even When It Doesn't Seem Like One.

Well prayer still works don't worry, maybe Heavenly Father was just sending the message that even prayer can't change a nena from being a nena :) haha no but for real it is hard sometimes to know that He is listening when it doesn't seem like we are receiving answers. But today we were talking about how a lot of people have seen huge miracles and still forget. We forget. We are human. So I am just fine with the small reminders every day. When we start to think that He doesn't listen or doesn't answer, we just have to look harder. 

Sometimes with disappointments it seems like I should be frustrated and tired of it all, but you know I'm so happy. Why? Literally our goal here is to change people's lives, to let them be happy-it's like being Santa Claus, Babagjyshji. And again-Christmas is coming. 

If you haven't watched the Christmas initiative video, Light the World,   Do It! Take the example of Christ and let's actually apply it to our lives. He is the Light of the World. We are the Light of the World. What an amazing message.
