It's been a really great week and we were able to see many miracles! There were some good stories and experiences!
This week was Valborg and May Day. Valborg is the last day of April and the holiday where you just burn things. And then May Day is typically a day off of work but also is known for being a day to go out and demonstrate. Both holidays were good and at Valborg we had a really nice ward party. We had a lot of nice songs, games, food, and fire (of course). Then we actually did see some demonstrations as well on May day.
We also were able to have Zone Conference this last week with some really good instruction. It is always fun to see everyone!
We had something really cool happen last Monday. We had dinner with a less active member and the member said hi to someone at the restaurant in passing. We later asked him who it was and he said it was another less active that we had actually been trying to get in contact with. I was pretty sad that we hadn't gotten to talk to them or anything, but I now knew what they looked like. Here's where the miracle happened! The next day we were on a bus in the morning and I looked up and saw the very same man! Both my companion and I agreed it looked just like the mysterious less active, so we waited on the bus until he was getting off, then got off with him and talked to him. It was way cool, and now we have his contact information and will hopefully be meeting them soon! It was the kind of perfect "stars aligning" miracle that we are blessed with occasionally and was a reminder that God is mindful of us.
On Sunday it was also amazing to see everyone that was put in our path. On that day we had two random people stop us at different times and were able to give a Book of Mormon to one of them. We also were able to meet 2 people I knew that had previously been taught by missionaries as we were out. And lastly we met another inactive member as we waited at a bus stop and then a really cool American soccer player from Virginia on a train. It was the kind of perfect day where God just made things work out so that you met people and happened to be in the right place at the right time throughout the day.
Anyways, it's been a great week with us! Hope you all have a good one!
