This Week in Italy: Miracle Time

OKAY SO MIRACLE TIME.

This week was really an experience for me. This week we learned of the principle of fasting. So we had met a man a few weeks ago named Moses. He was a super great guy and we talked to him for about an hour and then we exchanged numbers and planned to meet with him last week. Well the day before we were supposed to meet, we called him and his number didnt work. We had set the day but had forgotten to set a time or a place. We were devastated. We spent all off that day trying to get in contact with him, but with no luck. So the day we were supposed to meet with him arrived, and My companion decided to fast. We fasted all day to find Moses and spent all day looking for him. We went throughout the whole day without having seen him once. We decided to go to where we met him the first time, which was in a park. We went to the exact bench at which we had talked with him for about 15 minutes. Nothing. We then decided to walk around the park once to look for him. nothing. Finally when we were discouraged that we would never find this man again, we began to walk back to the bus. We walk towards a fountain in the park and we see this man with a plastic bag filling it with water and watering the nearby roses. I was really confused, but all the sudden I hear my companion say "NO WAY" IT WAS MOSES. OOOH WOW!!  We ran up to him and explained the whole situation, he had only been there for 20 minutes and was planning to leave. He had no idea why he came that day and to this place, he just came there on a whim. It was definately a miracle. This man is MADE OF GOLD. We excitedly sat down and spoke with him. Well except he had met with the missionaries before, in panama, and pretty much knew everything, he really just taught us the Plan of salvation. IT GETS BETTER. We tried setting a baptisimal date with him, but he couldnt because he was going to be in Germany. SO INSTEAD, HE CHOSE THE DATE. HECK YEAH. It was a complete miracle, because we had no idea how we were to find this man, we had no way to contact him, all we had was a day set aside. Turns out our number for him was one number off.. typical. We made it to the end of the day without seeing him, but we continued to have faith. Often  times the Lord lets us struggle before he blesses us. I have seen that a lot during the mission. But if we perservere, we will witness miracles!! We just have to recognize them!
