Many Many Miracles

Wow this week has been crazy! For one thing, due to my lovely companion's injury, We have a car! Just in time for the freezing rain, slush, and snowy combo! It has really been quite the event to try to not only drive the car but park the car in a snowy big city. But I guess all those times of my father pulling the emergency brake so I would know what to do in the event of a fishtail has actually paid off.

So we are now enjoying the luxuries of being able to feel our toes in -31 degrees Celsius. Which has only happened once so far. But Ironically this happened to be the one day that somehow our balcony door was pushed open, we're blaming Alfred our friend pigeon. So after a long day of rushing around to the four corners of West Montreal we get home to a freezing cold apartment. Insanely cold actually. We had to break the ice in the toilet to be able to actually use the thing and then had to pour hot water down so the pipes would unfreeze...which was probably not smart to do so in that order but hey it worked. =D All four of us in the apartment put on a million layers of clothings and slept with hand warmers in our slippers. It was cold, and ironically one line from "Let it Go" was stuck in my head. "The cold never bothered me anyway". But hey! I've heard that I can now become a Canadian Citizen after passing this trial by ice. =D

There have been so many miracles this week. With members so willing to give more than half of the contents of their cabinets to a family in need. Answers to prayers right and left and not only that but being able to be safe.

I realized recently that I have written about many of our lessons that we have out here in Hochelaga so here is a miracle that happened just yesterday. We were headed off to the Wedding reception hall that our group meets in and it was locked. So our meeting was closed and we found ourselves over at a family’s house. While Sister Avaemai helped the mother cook lunch I helped her daughter work on her Personal Progress. Lulu is an amazing young woman who is getting baptized on Saturday along with the rest of her family, and we have been helping her get into personal progress. Before we started we said a prayer and discussed any questions that she had. She admitted that she was having concerns. That she wasn't sure she was making the right choice about being baptized. We talked about it a little bit and then I felt encouraged to speak to her about faith, which as many know is part of the personal progress program. We started reading Alma chapter 32 and stopped every once in a while to discuss about it. However after reading verse 31 she stopped. And started crying. Through sobs she said she had finally received her answer, this fourteen year old girl described her feelings as if she had a weight taken off her shoulders and that she could finally breath and not only that but she could fly. The spirit was with us and with her as she was able to find the answer to her prayers

I know that God loves us and he hears every one of our prayers. Please keep this wonderful family in your prayers this week as they prepare for baptism. Satan works his hardest with those who are growing. I love you all and thank you for your prayers that have kept me safe.

Love,

Sister Cummings
