"...Has The Day Of Miracles Ceased?"

The phrase, "...has the day of miracles ceased?" has continued to play throughout my mind this week. 
I was studying Moroni 7 the other day and my eye caught hold of this phrase. Amongst all the terrible things happening in Moroni's life at this point in time he chooses to go back and reflect on his fathers words. 

"...has the day of miracles ceased?"

I wonder if at times Moroni had this phrase go through his mind. With all the war and contention. Losing the people he loved most. 

"...has the day of miracles ceased?"

I think why this question has rang through my mind so much this week is because of the people. 
The ones with the broken and sad stories. 
The ones without hope or belief. 

We stopped them in the streets. 
We sit with them in their homes. 
Meet them in the libraries. 
And in their own way they ask, 
"...has the day of miracles ceased?"

"Nay."
We reply. 

We were walking the quite road leading to this little library in Mold and we saw her. We knew she was the one the Lord had us come for. We stopped her. 
She expressed her frustrations with God. 

"Life just isnt fair" she says. 
"...has the day of miracles ceased?"

She invited us to come to her home. 
She was yearning for a message of peace and hope. 
As we walked up the path to her little bungalow we prayed that she would be able to see and feel the love of the Saviour. 

We sat and began teaching her.  
"But why?" She exclaims. 
"...has the day of miracles ceased?"

I've learned that the greatest miracles come in our waiting places. 
It is in our waiting places that we begin to be acquainted with the Saviour. 

Her heart began to soften as we played a hymn for her, I need thee every hour. 

"Will you come back?"
"I want to find him." she whispers. 

The spirit filled my eyes with tears as i began to see her in the eyes of the Saviour. 
Watching her step a little closer to Him. 

Thats how i know. 
Through Elenas story. 
On that cloudy day in Wales. 

"...has the day of miracles ceased?"
"Nay."

We saw this young uni girl in our minds that one morning. We felt like she needed to be taught about her purpose in God's plan. 
We began searching for her all day. 
Everywhere we went. 

Where was she? 

Many things happened that day that required us to rely and trust that the Lord was working in his vineyard. 
At times i think he tests us to see if we will stay true to him until that moment we will find them. 

I went to the bathroom and began to plead with him. 
This was a day i also was on an exchange. 
I wanted this dear sister to be able to see and experience the Saviour. 
I was willing to do anything to make this happen. 
In that moment i committed to the Lord that i would do anything to find the one. 

As we turned the cornor around the Storyhouse i saw her. 
Her. Thats the one. 
We ran across the street. 

"Sorry im in a rush." 
"We'll make this quick" 

Quynh was her name. She is from Vietnam. 

30 minutes pass. 
We testify to her of this plan that God has for her. Her heart began to soften. 

"I have 30 minutes. Can you teach me?"

My eyes filled with tear. The Lord saw her. And led us to her. 

"...has the day of miracles ceased?"
"Nay" 

Getting to teach an individual who has no knowledge of God and Jesus Christ is the most rewarding and spritual experience. 
Quynh life is forever changed. 
She knows now.
And theres nothing that will be able to take that knowledge away from her. 

"...has the day of miracles ceased?"
"Nay" 

These experiences are sacred. I think its because it was in those moments i truly got to see and feel how aware Heavenly Father is of each of his children. 
He has an individual timeline for each of us.
He is working in our waiting. 
He is waiting in perform his miracles. 
We just have to open our eyes. 

"...has the day of miracles ceased?"
"Nay"

I love my Saviour. 
I know he lives. 
I know he loves me. 
He is healing the hearts of many. 
And i feel so blessed i get to share Him with God's children every hour of every day

With love, 

Sister B

GOD LOVES!!!!

HIYA HIYA!!!  Wow the weeks just keep getting faster and faster I can't believe it! WELCOME TO DECEMBER! In England we've been celebrating Christmas since November and I wouldn't want it any other way! I'm glad all my American peeps are up to speed now! Send me fun things you are doing for the holiday season this year! I would love to hear about it!  So many ups and downs this week but as I'm able to reflect on the miracles of the week I am so humbled! The lord truly works with all of the effort I put in each day. He truly magnifies my offerings. I have really felt the burning of the refiners fire this week and at moments the fire gets really hot and I want to step away or I question why does it have to hurt sometimes? But those are the moments where I am able to have the greatest conversation with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Those moments where I get to plead on my knees for strength and help. And instantly they lift me up and carry me along!  I'm so prou...

Bor Da my fish and chips lovers!! Wow this last week has been a blur of awesomeness:)) I finally made it to the mtc with extremely heavy luggage and a big smile on my face!  I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! There's nothing more special than being here in Provo surrounded by 1000000 missionaries. Goodbyes are hard but all I know according to my sister Rilee is that I have 514 days until I will be home in good Ole SJ:)) So not too bad... but until then I'm ready to devote my time to the lord and bring his children back!  There's so many amazing things I have learned over the last week but this email I'm going to focus on how amazing conference was!!!  Getting to watch conference at the MTC was so special. It's definitely going to be one of my most cherished memories from being a missionary.  Here are some of my takeaways from conference:  • God loves me individually and perfectly • The holy ghost speaks to everyone individually  • God's timing is perfect. So have t...

Let Us RUN With Patience The Race That Is Set Before Us.

Image
My mission has been the ultimate race.  Its a race i felt like i trained for for a long time.  I felt ready to run.  But quickly into this race i realised that i was far from prepared.  I didnt realise how steep the climb was going to be or how many roadblocks and detours i was going to have to take and conquer.  I learned quite fast that sprinting as fast as i could wasnt going to help me win this kind of race.  Something I came on my mission with was a full backpack.  Packed full of a collection of things from over the years.  Full of doubts  Full of insecurities  Full of sadness Full of brokenness  This backpack was really heavy.  It was a backpack that was full of the wrong equipment. Despite the weight I continued to try and run.  It was then a few months into this race i realised i wouldnt be able to run anymore with this bag dragging behind me.  But its hard to let go of things youve held onto for a long time. ...
