READ THIS PART Miracle share:
Mengo. We met him just 2 days ago!
That morning we arrived at the train station only to discover that Sister Haslam had forgotten her wallet! We prayed to know what to do. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and patience (that was definitely not from myself) so we decided to return home, grab the wallet and go to Hukou.
However, in Hukou we found no friends. It was cold and I definitely felt frustrated.
We biked over to Hukou LiaoJie (which is a good touristy place to go finding). The ride was hard and when we arrived, there was hardly any people! We honestly had no idea why we were there. We were having no success.
Then a lady talked with us and told us to visit her house just down the road. We agreed, but we were a little confused by the request. However, the second we entered their house I knew this was exactly where God wanted us to be. Everything clicked.
Then we met Mengo! He is the lady's son. He told us he felt like his life was in a loop and was seeking to know his purpose in life. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and the spirit was so strong I couldn't help but shed some tears.
We told him our story of the morning and how we knew it wasn't a coincidence that we were here. He then told us it wasn't a coincidence that he was there either!
He hadn't even been planning to visit his mom that day, but there he was. When he got to the house, he found a book about Jesus Christ and asked his mom if he could read it. His mom then walked outside and immediately ran into us! She knew it was a sign from God and invited us over. We both knew that this meeting was so inspired by God!
It's the first time I knew for a fact that where we were and what we were doing was exactly where God wanted us to be and exactly what God wanted us to be doing :)
Mengo came to church the next day and attended a baptismal service as well! I know that God is ever so present in our lives!
Inspirational Spiritual message(Inspired by Elder Hollands talk "Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders Among You")
#1 The First Great Commandment is to love God!
--> #2 What we sometimes forget is the First Great Truth: That God loves us!
Our Father in Heaven is a Loving God. He wants more than anything for us to return to him. He wants to bless us. That is His entire purpose! (Moses 1:39). Every tomorrow is significant because God wants it to be!
I hope you all know that Heaven is cheering you on :) We can overcome all things! Unfairness, weakness, sickness, grief, sin, sorrow. Not getting the part you auditioned for. Not getting the test score you needed for that scholarship. Not winning that competition that was going to decide your future. Not getting that job you needed to provide for your family. All things that are unfair, or stupid or too hard. Because of God's infinite merciful Plan of Salvation and a Savior that died for us, all things that are unfair in life can be overcome. Things are unfair in our favor :)
I love you all! Even if things are going well, the Atonement is still there for you! (It helps us improve ourselves and increase the happy times too ;))
