Hi everyone! This week I want to share a truly miraculous experience I had this week.
Last Tuesday we had a meeting in the city and had to travel by bus
with our area book. An area book is a giant binder full of records of
all our efforts, all the information about the area, and basically
everthing that is important to us and makes it possible for us to work
in this area. After the meeting, we had a lunch appointment and walked a
loooong way to get there. At some point on our walk, we stopped to
take a rest and my companion who was carrying the area book, set it down
for a second on a ledge. When we started walking again, she forgot it
there. We realized this after lunch and ran back to get it. And it was
gone. We looked everywhere and asked the neighbors, but no one knew
anything about it. Trying not to freak out, we stopped and said a
prayer, asking for help to find the area book. As soo as we said
"amen" we immediately crossed the street, walked a ways down, and there
we saw it... a large stack of papers lodged in between a car and the
curb. Every single paper and record was accounted for, just without the
cover. When we picked them up to look through them, we saw scortch
marks on the cornes of the pages. Somebody had tried to burn them. But
somehow, all that burned was a small corner.
This work is the Lord´s work. And it can´t be stopped.
I hope you all have looked for God´s hand in your lives, it is always there!
We had another baptism this week! Her name is Rosangela. Her
sister is the Relief Society president in the ward here! And what a way
to kick off the new year, making a promise to follow Jesus Christ. A
new start.
Happy New Years! Feliz ano novo!
I love you all dearly!
com amor,
Sister Burch
