Mission Miracles (Week 48)

(This was a crazy busy week for Kallie so there was no letter sent. She has started a google drive with Mission Miracles - so I thought I'd post one of those for this week!) 

Mission Miracles:

Tiffany 9/11/2025 -
This miracle starts a couple weeks ago when we did a Book of Mormon painting activity with the young women. Everyone painted a Book of Mormon for the missionaries to give to their friends. I also painted a Book of Mormon and I decided that I liked it so much I was going to keep it and mark it to use in my teaching. I had marked 1 Nephi 11:17, but that was it.

Today Hermana Owens and I had a lesson with an inactive member named Tiffany because Hermana Kimball was sick. We’ve been trying to get Tiffany to come back to church for about 2 months, but something always comes up. Today, she finally opened up to us and told us about a lot of the challenges and problems she has and why it’s been so hard for her to keep appointments with us and come to church. She’s very confused and she’s struggling a lot, but she doesn’t like asking for help — she wants to be able to do it all on her own.

Hermana Owens had an amazing meditation exercise about helping us visualize the love that Christ has for us. The first part of the miracle is that Hermana Owens was there to share this exercise with her. We set up to have elders come by and give her a blessing and we were about to end the lesson. Earlier, I had pulled my painted Book of Mormon out of my bag with the intention of sharing the scripture I had marked and it was still on my lap.

I looked down and had the strongest impression that I needed to give her this Book of Mormon. I had painted it with the words “Andaré con Cristo, con migo Él andara” on the back from one of my favorite primary songs. After I had given it to her, she looked up with tears in her eyes and said, “I had prayed earlier and told God that I don’t know how I feel about the Book of Mormon, and this is the answer to my prayer.” God is truly in the details.

Originally, I wasn’t even going to paint a Book of Mormon. I wasn’t going to keep the one I had painted. The only scripture I had managed to mark so far was one about the love of God. Hermana Owens was there with me on an emergency exchange. God cares for His children and He works through small and simple things.
