-Got sick, (sorry friends, didn’t make to church)

-My brother sent my the Animusic songs, IFYKYK ( shoutout James, and Pipedream)

This week has been good. I forgot to mention in last week’s letter that our wardshare/ district had 18 friends at church that Sunday. So now you know. Things are popping off in Donny.

I have been reading in the beginning of the Book of Mormon during my studies. I usually try to find a verse I read that day to send to our friends for Daily Contacts (shoutout Daily Contacts). Something that stands out to me. How often are we like Laman and Lemuel? Seeing the miracles and being led by a Prophet, having miraculous encounters and literal divine intervention in their lives. Seeing angels and God providing for them in the wilderness. And still doubted, and turned away.

Now we (at least I dont) see angels appearing, or see a little compass ball appear in the middle of nowhere, to guide us to a promised land. If you do, let me know. I wanna hear that story. But how many small miracles do we see in our lives? How many times have we prayed for something to come to pass, only for it to happen, and us chalk it up to coincidence?

As I relflect on many things in my life, I have consistently seen prayers answered when I do the right things, but then shortly forget and go about without much recognition of the prayer being answered.

I invite you all to find the small miracles in your life, and show your appreciation for them, for Gods blessing that he gives all of us liberally. 

I love you all! Be kind to all. Protect your liberty and religion (shoutout Captain Moroni)
