Treasuring Miracles
First up, tesla taxi is a miracle worker. And, it turns out it's no more expensive than a regular taxi?! Basically we met 2 very cool guys driving tesla taxi this week, one of which had been baptized Orthodox but had left the church and searching for truth.. so we shared our message, had a nice discussion for the rest of the ride, and agreed to meet up to talk again and learn more! Needless to say, I forsee many more tesla taxi rides in our future.
Second, Elder Strickler coming here motivated those people we haven't seen in a while to come out to meet him! It was great seeing so many people this week and getting the opportunity to teach lots of lessons. We worked hard, walked a lot in the furnace that is Podgorica, and had a successful week!
Today I want to share something I learned in Sunday school this week. In our lives, God gives us each witnesses and miracles as we seek for them in faith. For example, in Moses' time, many people saw the Red Sea part before them. Or the pioneers, who saw angels. Other people (myself included) haven't had that kind of dramatic manifestation but have received quieter witnesses over time. For a while, I wondered why some people have these "huge" miracles and others don't. But on Sunday I realized that it's not as important how big the miracle is as much as it how we treat them. Do we treasure them? Do we care for them? Do we write them down, reflect on them, give thanks for them, no matter how small? I believe that God is more willing to give us more experiences and witnesses when He sees that we treasure what we've already been given. So I would invite you to look for God's hand in your life each day and take the time to show Him you care!
