Today we had what we call a “Mission Miracle” NOTE: A mission miracle is when something happens that you feel is a miracle. It doesn’t always have to do with you, it can involve non-members, inactives, members, anyone that you come in contact with. We have a missionary coming to our mission in July who is from a highly dysfunctional family that includes physical and verbal abuse. He joined the church in 2011. Since he decided to serve a mission the small branch he lives in is trying to earn money to support him while he is out in the mission field. They have had garage sales, barbeques, service projects, etc. to get donations for this young man to serve. Because he will need a bike for the mission, his Bishop called today how much they would need to raise to get him one. Long story short, just this morning Elder Jones received an email from the parents of one of our missionaries stating that when their son comes home next month, they wanted to donate his bike to the mission. The Lord’s work gets done. This young man will have a great bike and the ward will not have to pay for it. A Mission Miracle.
Today we had a group of missionaries come into the office to put together bikes for the incoming missionaries. They are always so willing to help and are so fun to be with. We are their mission parents and we love it. It is a privilege we surely enjoy.
