Cleaning the church = a miracle

In a weekly letter, Elder Will Hjorth (serving in the Guatamala Guatamala City East Mission) shared the following experience:

We have this family who finally passed the line from "you and your church" to "us and our church".

You want to know what did the trick?

Cleaning the church.

Let me explain.  This family has been going through a really tough time.  They are both without work and they have two small boys.  They've gone to sleep a few times without knowing if they were going to have something to eat the next day.

So since they haven't had anything better to do, I asked them if they would help us clean the church and then we could all eat spaghetti together.  So we invited our recent converts.  (They are so freaking amazing)  We cleaned the chapel and we ate and everything was all fine and dandy.

Later that night Mario told us:  "This situation has been very hard for me.  I've never gone so long without a job.  Sometimes I just sit down and I'm mad, sad, stressed and hungry.  But today, I was in church cleaning bat poop off the walls, and I was happy.  And I was happy all day.  This must come from God."

Two months ago this man probably wouldn't even have set a foot in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  But God is Amazing, and there was Mario, washing poop off of the the walls of the true church of God and SMILING.

I believe in Miracles.

Are you ready and willing for a miracle?  

Am I?

Elder Hjorth - I believe in miracles, too.  Thanks for reminding me!
