Miracles have not ceased

I salute you, whomever has opened this email. It means a lot when one reads about my experiences what I have to say and then ponders upon it. The things which I make mention to are true. For it is an account of my happenings sealed with my testimony.

Today, something miraculous happened. We have been trying to make contact with a less a active member and his family that use to be a strong member from the states so that we could visit them and inform them that we now have a meetinghouse in Mielec. But literally this guy was invisible, until we were shopping at TESCO (european equivelent to COSTCO) in the foreign food section debating on whether we should buy some mexican cheese queso dip when were heard this "random" lady behind us say," That's the best you'll find around here, it's a Delicacy, if I were you I would buy it." Surprised and chuckling at the comment we turned around and talked to here right then and there for like ten minutes. In the middle of the conversation she started talking about her husband and we had this weird feeling about the convo, I asked what his name was. It was him!!!! It took everything inside of us to not begin laughing and jumping up and down screaming in front of her like we had just won the lottery or found the buried treasure. Instead we calmly told her the situation, she gave us their address and told us we could visit them this weekend. It was crazy! Literally, there were so many things that went into us being right then and there at that exact moment. There are at least 20 underlying factors to why we were not even planning on going to TESCO. Ha but we did and were able to find one of our brothers in the church. Not gonna lie, that was probably the best mexican cheese queso dip I had ever eaten. ;)

I testify that God lives and directs his children today he is so compassionate and caring to lay down blessings right in our laps, if only we could just be as aware to recognize them and be grateful for them. He is a perfect being, his timing is perfect and I believe as well as his sense of humor :)

I wanted to share a passage wit you all and would like you all to think upon it personally in your lives.

Moroni chapter 7
26...And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying: Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you.

27 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men?

28 For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.

29 And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men.

31 And the office of their ministry is to call men unto repentance, and to fulfill and to do the work of the covenants of the Father, which he hath made unto the children of men, to prepare the way among the children of men, by declaring the word of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord, that they may bear testimony of him.

Reflect back upon the times in your life where you have seen God's miracles and tender mercies. If you can't think of many, ask for some, and keep your senses alert, because you will experience them. For behold, he truly is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I so testify in the name of his son Jesus Christ our Savior who LIVES, amen.
