A Huge Miracle We Had This Week!

Hello Everyone! It's been a crazy week here in Chambersburg! It feels like I always come back to this stake at one point or another during the mission. It was a crazy week, saying good bye to members and investigators. Dolphin and Alex have been amazing to work with and I know that as they continue to study the gospel, the joy that I have seen in them will continue to grow.

We had the opportunity this week to attend our monthly Missionary Leadership Council. It was crazy! We were planning, preparing, and counseling all together on how we can smoothly introduce technology to the rest of the mission. It's been great to see all of the input that was given. The Lord has made His hand ever present, as we have used this technology which He has given us. As a matter of fact, the mission, in the month of February, had 38 baptisms.  This is the most baptism's this mission has had for over 10 years or so! It's going be amazing to see what's going happen, once everyone else has phones.

A huge miracle we had this week was that I met with almost all of the investigators that Elder Tucker and the previous missionary have been teaching. They all have a desire to come unto Christ.  What made this week even better, happened one night when we were driving to an appointment.  The GPS (or gospel positioning system, as I like to call it- ha ha!) took us down a weird road, into a junkyard. We went in to see if there was a way through, but there wasn't, so we turned around to leave and a truck was blocking our exit! We got out and talked to this man, “Hi.” We had a brief chat with him and then left. Later that night, we visited with a returning member and we shared this cool miracle with her.  She said, "Oh, I know Hi!" It was crazy! We are hoping to see him later this week and start teaching him!

This experience has only been one of the many miracles that Elder Tucker and I have seen, as we have been serving these past few days. I'm very grateful to my Father in Heaven for the guidance which He has given us. I hope that we can continue to see Him, as I move through this last transfer in His service. Thank you again for your love and support!!!!! I hope you have a good week!!!

Sister Muir bought us this really funny car freshener and told us that this is how we needed to be as missionaries!
