The Simplest things make the Biggest Difference!

So my tender mercy for today is pretty simple. But I think those are
the best kind.
On Monday I was having a rough day, and I had told my mission
president a little bit about it in the email that I send him every
week. Well, I wasn't expecting to hear back from him for a whole
week!

Then we got a text later that day saying that we had interviews with
our mission president on Tuesday. There were about 20-30 missionaries
being interviewed. I was happy that I would get to talk to him the
next day.

Tuesday morning came and I went into my interview. The first think he
said to me was, "I'm sorry you are having a rough time." Oh, those
words were such a tender mercy! How did he know? He had read my
email that morning. Out of 250 missionaries, he had looked at my
email and my companions emails. Those were the ONLY two. WOW! I
felt special and loved at that moment.

I know that God is watching over us! He knows when we need those
simple words of encouragement and love from others!

My Nametag

Lately, I have been having trouble with my nametags.  That's definitely a problem.  My nametag is pretty important as a missionary. Without one, I don't stand out in a crowd and people don't look at me and wonder what it is.

And a few weeks ago I lost the magnet to one of my nametags, so I only had one nametag for a time.  Now I also have another nametag that has been a bother lately.   That one pins onto a clip, and the pin is broken so it keeps falling off....

Here's the real story:

Last week we had to run into a Safeway and get some food for a sister in our ward.  A few hours later, I noticed that my nametag had fallen off!! (the one with the broken clip)  Needless to say I was really sad that I had lost my nametag.  But I knew there was nothing I could do, so I kept on going with my day.

The next day at church Sister Norwood in my ward walks up to me with the nametag!!!  It shocked me!! I didn't know what to say at first, but I knew that it was an answer to my prayers!

What was so amazing to me is that Sister Norwood's husband had found the nametag late Saturday night in a shopping cart.  And he recognized my name on the nametag and brought it home!  

This little miracles was a testimony to me that Heavenly Father knows even the littlest of my problems.  He puts specific people in the right place at the right time to help with even the little things!!

I think this quote explains it perfectly...

"God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom."

I know that we can all play a part in others' miracles.  We just have to be willing to serve others and let God take care of the rest.  He knows each and every one of us perfectly!!!
