Miracle 1
Sister Fager the Bountiful HS librarian came to the temple and I was still here since 2 families cancelled at the absolute last second (which was weird and a little depressing) and it was so late we couldn't schedule anything else. And then someone came into the little online teaching room and said "... A librarian wants to talk to Sœur Amott?" and I was so excited I almost ran into the wall getting out of the room to go see her. She was the BEST teacher at BHS, I loved all my teachers but I got to see her every day and she let up set up the dance club! So, I got to give her a mini tour and talk to her and it was so cool! She's serving in Frankfurt Germany doing family history work and entering information so it can be filmed. Wasn't expecting a disappointment to lead up to a miracle like that.
Miracle 2
Our Spanish speaking ami Rosa got in contact with us! Turns out she'd gone off radar because she didn't have calling credits, which is frankly a very valid excuse. We're meeting with her again this week. She made us drink glasses of shelf stable French milk so we'd get our vitamins...and the whole lesson was in Spanish but I participated, understood almost everything, and prayed in the end all in Spanish, so hey? Milagros!
Miracles 3 and 4, copy pasted straight from the zone FB chat because no time: "We had 2 temple miracles yesterday night that we want to share with everyone! First, a man walked into the temple and asked for a tour, but ended up getting distracted by asking a bunch of awesome questions about baptism, the scriptures, prayer, etc, and then he asked us if he could meet with the Elders and come back to the temple so he can learn more! He was so excited and just kept talking about how special the temple was and how blessed we are to be able to understand the scriptures!
Then, while we were still processing that someone had walked in and asked for the missionaries to teach them... A woman walked in and said she didn't know what made her get on the train and travel hours to get here, but she felt like she'd been pulled... And she asked how she could join the church and serve too, since she'd been visiting visitors centers for years while traveling but just retired and has time to take the lessons, and she asked us when she could start them!
We sent both of their information along to the missionaries where they live, but seeing two miracles with wonderful people, one right after the other, was incredible and a huge testimony to how the temple is changing the lives and attitudes of people here in France and all around, we're so excited to see people's lives change through the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ, that are so apparent on the temple grounds."
And then miracle 5, today was a little nuts because the transit to the mission office for interviews took 2 hours there and 2 back but when we arrived there were 2 letters with exactly the advice I needed to hear, I even shared part with président! It was an answer to a prayer and really cool. Merci beaucoup, tout le monde !
Song of the week : I can't remember the name, but the One Voice Children's Choir rendition of "when you believe" from the prince of Egypt soundtrack. Part of it is in French since it was filmed at Normandy Beach.
I love you all, thanks for being awesome, read your scriptures and write down miracles, make good choices, I'll see you all soon! Stay warm!
