Music can bring a person so much happiness. This woman from Georgia received the help she needed to play the piano.
The miracle I share today is the gift of music. I dreamed of playing the piano, and asked God if He would help me learn. It has been one of the biggest blessings in my life.

Miracle 162: Simply Finding a Job
This miracle comes from a faithful man from Florida/Indiana. Short and Sweet.
From a couple years ago I felt I should quit my job without having another one lined up. I spent a month at home. I then found another job in town which allowed me to spend a lot more time with my family and that led to a promotion doing exactly what I want to be doing.

Miracle 161: A Mother's Faith
A beautiful miracle of a family who had faith that what was lost could be found in time. This story was shared by a woman from Oregon.
This past summer we were moving cows on our ranch. Our cousin came with us for the day. It was the last Saturday before he left on his mission. When we returned to the house and discovered that he had lost his wallet some miles back in the 3,000 acre field we had just gathered cattle from. He told us that his temple recommend and drivers license were in there. Both critical things he would need before flying to the MTC in Mexico in three days. The next day my mom took the 4-wheeler out to try to find his brown wallet in the dirt. My mom knew that our cousin was a good kid. She knew that the Lord wouldn't want him to have to delay his departure. While my mom was searching she had faith that she would be able to find his wallet. The thought came to her head to look on the dirt road instead of searching through the acres of sagebrush. She had remembered that we had galloped after cattle on that road and it would have been easy for the wallet to slip out of his back pocket. With help from our Heavenly Father and from the faith my mom had she was able to easily find my cousin's wallet. He was able to the board the plane and leave when he was scheduled to.

Miracle 160: There is Sunshine in My Soul Today...
A miracle of Heavenly Fathers love for a sister missionary in Idaho.
My miracle is when I was having a hard time and I just felt bad. I was praying to know if Heavenly Father loved me and when I woke up the next morning in my head there was a song. The song playing was "There is Sunshine in My Soul Today..." and I knew that that was a message straight from Him to me. Heavenly Father loved me and that everything would be okay.
Miracle 159: Three Beautiful Pink Roses
Spring is a time when we see the renewal of life and remember our Savior, Jesus Christ. A woman saw springs beauty and recognized its miracle.
There are simple, seemingly insignificant miracles each and everyday. We just have to slow down and look for them. Today I noticed three beautiful pink roses in full bloom. Spring is here and flowers and plants are coming to life once again. This is a miracle!

Miracle 158: The Right Path
- This beautiful miracle is from a fellow sister missionary serving in another mission in Florida. I am in love with her miracle story. She has an incredible blog-Take a look! Enjoy.
With my grandma's permission I wanted to share her miracle of a conversion story. It didn't come when she was baptized, but it's been a blessing in my life to see it develop. I am so thankful for the blessing of the gospel and how it can take us out of the shadows and into the light. Here are her words...
After going through the lessons with the missionaries I was baptized and confirmed a member of the church on 2/24/1979. Now that should have been the beginning of a beautiful life, but that's not what happened. I continued doing what I wanted with the idea that I was having "fun", enjoying life. Over the years I attended church with my daughter (who remained active) and her family and was able to see the difference in her lifestyle and the happiness it brought her, but it wasn't enough to get me to turn away from my own lifestyle. Then almost 6.5 years ago there were some major changes I made in my life. I quit drinking, and a couple years into my sobriety I also quit smoking. But I still knew there was more, I just knew something was missing.
I made amends as needed, and started making changes in my life. Then miracles started happening. First, my grand daughter decided to serve a mission. A few months later her brother followed suit and also decided to serve. I knew how important this was to them and made my own commitment to be as supportive as possible of their commitments. As they started relating their experiences I started sharing them with those around me and was surprised at some of the reactions I received. I was asked questions that I couldn't answer. Then my granddaughter invited me to learn about the church via Facebook messaging and Skype. She and her companions patiently answered my questions. She encouraged me to read the Book of Mormon and my son-in-law, her father, asked if I wanted to start at the beginning and read it together. To this day I read, and then we discuss it together. My grandson also participates via email, answering questions, providing encouragement and prayers. Probably the most significant contribution comes from the years of example set by my daughter, Andrea. She never faltered, continued to love me although my lifestyle caused her much pain over the years, she always kept in the back of her mind that maybe, just maybe some day......
I am now actively attending church. Based on a particularly enlightening email from my grandson I have given up coffee, which I had started drinking at the age of 12. I know that all of these things, changes brought about by repenting, studying scriptures, and faithfully praying and looking for direction, have brought many blessings to my life. When my granddaughter asked me to watch a video with her about stepping into the light I once again saw the peace and happiness in those people that I had seen so many years ago and I knew I could one day have that level of peace in my life too. I realize I have a long way to go, but I don't give up. I continue to do as I was directed by my granddaughter at the very beginning, "simply pray about it and you'll receive your own answer as to whether it is true". Guess what? it works!! The life I have now is just the beginning of what is to come and each day I want to experience the life I was always meant to live. Daily it becomes easier to choose the right path that keeps me in the light and I feel myself smiling a lot more.
Miracle 157: Influenza in Honduras
This inspiring miracle is from a young woman living in Honduras.
So when the influenza swept through the Americas my mom got sick and she had all the symptoms, and she was very sick, we had no car, we lived far from the city and we had no probability to take her to the hospital, so i was very afflicted but I also had trust in a loving Father in Heaven that hears and answers prayers, so I decided to pray and ask God, fast and have hope and faith. At the end of my fasting I asked my brother to give her a priesthood blessing and right when he was saying the blessing I felt strongly how the spirit told to my heart: everything its gonna be alright, fear not for everything will be alright and I trusted that feeling. That day the Lord was so merciful that I will never for get that. He taught me that when we trust Him, have faith and act, the blessings from heaven along with His mercies will come down. Since that day and on my testimony is stronger. That is a miracle that changed my life. I love my Savior. It was the sweetest scariest time of my life.

Miracle 156: Heavenly Father Hears Us...All the Way in France
This mother is from Angers, France. We LOVE her miracle!
Two years ago, my daughter got married. But at the same time she got very sick. She had a lump in her throat and a terrible fever and the doctors at the hospital told me she would not live. Then, she went into a coma. One night while exiting the hospital to go home, I decided to talk aloud to our Heavenly Father. At this time, I was not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I said, “If you save my daughter, I will follow the path you have chosen for me and I will join the church that you want me to join.” All night, I waited for the phone call from the hospital that would inform me of the death of my daughter. The next morning, I went back to the hospital. The doctors were waiting for me, and they were amazed and did not know what to think. My daughter had gained consciousness and was hungry. She called out for me. For me, this was a miracle of how our Heavenly Father hears us. Today, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with my husband.

Miracle 154: Finding a Job in Finland
This miracle is from a young woman living in Finland!
After I got back from serving a mission in the United States, I really needed a job. I called a member in our church that works at a daycare to see if I could work for them this summer. She told me to send an email to her boss just in case even though they already had a staff for summer. I sent an email and her boss called me the same day and told me she had just met her college professor at the grocery store and found out she had one more week of sick-leave so they needed someone and that's when she called me. I was there now the whole last week and I'll be be substituting for summer as well!

Miracle 153: The First in the History of Singapore
We've got an INCREDIBLE miracle from Singapore. I love how quickly and perfectly the gospel of Jesus Christ is spreading to the four corners of the earth!
The biggest miracle for my family and me has got to be the gospel of Jesus Christ introduced to our lives in 2008. We were all leading our own lives - parents and my two other siblings. When my dad first came in contact with the Book of Mormon and the missionaries in Thailand (where he outstations) where he wanted a copy of a Holy Bible in Thai, little did he know that it would be a life-changing event of his life and our lives. My parents, brother and sister all took our time to find out if this gospel is truth separately and we were all baptized at different times. We are now all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am so happy to have served a mission, to be a missionary like those missionaries were to be. While I was out on my mission, my brother and sister left for theirs too. It is the first in the history in Singapore to have three missionaries in a family out at the same time. I am just so grateful to have a knowledge of what brings individuals and families true eternal happiness.

Miracle 152: Faith, Not Fear
This miracle comes from a sweet woman who is just trying to get through the day here in Florida.
I see miracles every day. Last Saturday my car was having trouble starting and I had too much to do. I told the Lord that I was doing worthy things and I needed my car to work. I did what I could and then repeated to myself "Faith not Fear" over and over and it worked. My car worked all day and into the next. Thank you Heavenly Father!

Miracle 151: We Needed To Move To New Zealand
This darling miracle is from a family living in New Zealand, though they are originally from Samoa. Love it!
Okay, so my story goes like this. I was a young school teacher and I fell in love with a cop in Samoa. We got married and tried to have children. Years went by and we still weren't able to have children. We were sad, so we called on the Lord for an answer to our plea. After many prayers and a lot of fasting, an answer came to us that we needed to move to New Zealand... this was a very hard decision to make. Our families were in Samoa. We only knew how to speak VERY LITTLE english and we had never been anywhere but our humble little islands in Samoa... nontheless we went anyway. We made a covenant to the Lord there in New Zealand that if God blesses us with a son, we will do all they can to raise him up to serve God always.... Three kids later, here we are!!! This is a short snippet that very important story to me and my family... so really the miracle of being able to have children happened here in the beautiful island of Aotearea, New Zealand.
