A Little Miracle

When we hear the word "miracle," a lot of times we think of some of the incredible miracles that the Savior performed during His earthly ministry. Those truly were incredible, and confirmed the faith of those that believed. But I think that sometimes we forget about all the little miracles that surround us on a day-to-day basis.

Recently, I had an experience where I was definitely blessed with one of those "smaller" miracles. For the majority of my time as a missionary in Arizona, I have been speaking Spanish, and working with Spanish-speaking individuals and families. Through my time, I have grown to love the language and the culture (and the FOOD!). Recently, however, my assignment changed and I am now working with a congregation that only speaks English. So needless to say I have not been able to use my Spanish as much. Recently, however, we received word that a woman wanted us to come and visit her. So we went to her home, and when we got there, we realized that her entire family spoke Spanish. It was so much fun to be able to use my Spanish again. The family was so nice, and it just made me so happy to be able to talk with them.

And so, that wasn't a huge thing, but it certainly gave me some joy. I know that our Heavenly Father cares, even about little things like that. He loves us enough to bless us with those tiny miracles that have the power to make our day. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father! I know that He lives and that He has a plan for each and every one of us!
