Well, the end of my mission has come! Though mission life became crazy, and the focus of my social media missionary work changed, I still consider this miracle blog a complete and utter MIRACLE. For those who have sent in miracles that have not been posted-forgive me. But thank you so much for taking the time to consider the incredible moments where you recognized God's hand in your life. It's as we pause and appreciate those tender mercies of the Lord, that He is able to pour more miracles into our lives. I have learned over the course of my mission in Jacksonville, Florida that Heavenly Father really truly loves us. There can be miracles when you believe in God.
Love always and forever,
Sister Hutchins
p.s. If you would EVER live to learn more about God's love for you, please follow this link and missionaries, like companion and I, will come visit you!

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.

Miracle 148: Earthquakes in Spain
This incredible miracle is from a young woman living in Spain!
I've seen God's hand in my life so many times, one of them was 3 years ago. There was a very intense earthquake in my city over here in Spain. It was a horrible experience, everyone was just so scared and we had to sleep in the car in the middle of nowhere for two days, cause we had to wait for the firefighters to check out our houses and tell us there was no danger to come back. There were also little earthquakes due to the big one we had before so everyone was just so nervous and anxious... So my family and me decided to kneel down and pray for comfort...we felt peace, we felt that everything was gonna be okay. It was a feeling that I'll never forget. Two days after we were able to go home, the firefighters told us that our home was okay, and we felt so grateful that we prayed again to Heavenly Father to thank him for His protection. I know God is aware of us and as we are obedient and turn to him He will protect us and gives us the peace He can only give.

Miracle 147: Sickly to Service
This wonderful miracle comes from a faithful missionary who had to fight in order to serve her fellow man. What would you be willing to fight for?
I have witnessed so many miracles. Especially on my mission. The miracle that stands out to me is the reason WHY I am serving a mission. A year before my mission, I became sick and the doctors were not sure what it was, although they suspected that it wasn't good at all. During the trial of uncertainty and illness and medical tests, I became worried that this would keep me from serving a mission. (Which I had always wanted to do) I received a blessing telling me that no matter what the illness was, I would still be able to serve a mission and that this experience would help me help others come closer to Christ.
All through that time of worry, something ran through my mind, asking me a simple question: "would you want to do this again?" This question repeated over and over for several days, with the same answer I would give:"NO!" Again, the Spirit asked this until one day it finally clicked. The simple question came differently saying: "Would you do this again FOR THEM?" Immediately, I found my heart already know who"they" were. I felt something inside me that seemed to be crying out "Yes! In a heart beat! Even just to help one soul!" In an instant I felt love and the Spirit come over me. Love for complete strangers I have never met. People I would meet someday, and people who I could share my experience with. Because of this miracle, I have a small understanding of what Christ has done for me. I know that Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. And He would do it over again. Even just for one. I know He would suffer all over again just to say "I know how you feel." I know this. And because I know this, I will share it. Jesus is the Christ.

And later on we found out that it was a girl! I was so happy and truly felt this new baby girl was an answer to my prayers and no I get to live with and love one of the greatest blessings in my life, my sister. I feel like she's a miracle to me.

Miracle 144: A Living Breathing Miracle
This miracle is one from my own family when we were living in Dallas, Texas!
After many weeks of prayers and through the grace of God, she began to recover and was finally released from the hospital. She not only lived, but years later she is still a beautiful, spunky, and happy young woman. To this day she hasn't suffered from any of the side effects that the doctors had predicted. She is a living breathing miracle and I'm grateful to be sealed to her and my family forever!
Though this time in my family's life brought great hardship, we found peace and hope in our Heavenly Father's plan. No matter what happened, we knew this life was not the end and that everything would be all right. She is our families living, breathing miracle!

Miracle 143: Happy Easter!
This darling and simple miracle is from my own cute mom! Hope you love it. I remember that Easter SO vividly.
I had let the bunnies out in the backyard while I was planting flowers and Skipper ran away. We looked everywhere Saturday and we found no sign of her. We were all so sad and I felt terrible for not having watched the bunnies better. We prayed and prayed she would come home. The next day was Easter Sunday and we prayed again. After Daddy prayed, he got the idea to open the back gate so she could hop back in...so we did. While we were eating lunch Daddy was the first to see Skipper hopping in the yard. We all jumped up and ran outside. Our own Easter miracle had come about. Our prayers had been answered--Skipper was safe! Now since we don’t know where she was in all the green hills near our house, we like to think she had a date with the Easter bunny! Our family had had a High Five experience and because it happened on such a special day, our family will remember it always. Our family believes in miracles, especially the greatest one of all the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Miracle 142: Satan Was Trying His Hardest
This miracle is from a fellow missionary who served in Jacksonville, Florida with us!
We were on our way to see a woman was just down and out with no hope at all. She was grieving about how her mom was in the hospital not doing well and recently got into a fight with her daughter. So we asked if she wanted a blessing and she said yes, but during the blessing things started taking place the phone kept going off, and near the end of the blessing someone was at the door and me personally I thought Satan was trying his hardest to stop us. But when it was done she opened the door to find a return missionary stopping by in visiting her and in a way strengthening her. After that she answered the phone to receive welcoming news that her mother was going to be fine and would be able to come home soon. I remember when she told us that she was grateful to have us and that we made a difference in her life.
On that following Sunday she bore her testimony to everyone for the first time in that meeting and it was incredible to be there on that day. I will never forget that experience and I know for the most part this was all according to my faith. Ether 12:12 I know that wherever we go in the areas that we have been to God has a purpose for us being there no matter what it may be for the most part it's to meet someone that will impact our lives.

Miracle 141: The Power of Tithing
This perfect tithing miracle is from a newlywed wife living with her husband in Virginia!
My husband and I had a really big miracle happen about a year and a half ago. My husband entered the Navy and in December of 2012 we recieved his first set of orders to move to Norfolk, VA. We had saved up a lot of our money preparing for a big move. Now the military will reimburse you for the move but only after the proper paperwork has been filed. We moved about a month sooner then I was prepared for and being 4 months pregnant surely didn't help. But while my husband was in basic my relationship with Heavenly Father had grown significantly. When we moved out there we lived in a hotel and had to eat out for every meal unto we could find an apartment. Which we were able to for a great price, but a lot of our savings was depleted. My husband filed the paperwork but week after week we never heard anything. As we were buying the last of our soon to be born babies necessities I realized we only had $300 in our bank account left. I prayed to Heavenly Father knowing that if we paid our tithing we would have so much less. But I felt the spirit so strongly and knew paying our tithing was what we needed to do. So we did. Three months after we had moved I logged into our bank account and the military had finally reimbursed us! It was more then we were expecting but it certainly was enough to no longer stress about money. I know that Heavenly Father was looking out for us and by doing the right thing we were blessed so significantly! I constantly keep that memory close whenever I start to waiver on tithing and know good will always come from it!

Miracle 140: "Now I am here, in Zhenjiang, China"
This powerful miracle is from a dear high school friend of mine who is currently living in China! God really does answer prayers in His perfect timing.
About a year ago, in October of 2013, I was struggling. I'm a college student at BYU, and I had no idea what I should do with my life. So many options lay before me, but every path seemed to twist out of sight, and I could not tell which decision was the best for me. I longed, more than anything, to serve in some way, and yet all the possible routes and options didn't seem to work. Some were too expensive, others didn't feel right. Staying at school didn't seem to fit, either, and going home didn't feel okay. I was stuck. In a serious way.
I remember that time very clearly, and I can honestly say that there wasn't a single night for about six months in which I did not cry myself to sleep every night. Hours were spent on my knees in fervent prayer, asking God what I should do with my life, asking that the pain be taken away. You can imagine how frustrating and hurtful it was when sometimes the pain wasn't taken away. Finally, one day, I received an answer to my dilemma. "There is an option that you have not considered yet." So, patiently, I waited for that option to present itself. I kept myself busy with school, with work, with friends, and with travel. And I forgot about this answer.
Exactly one year later, I found myself thoughtlessly applying for a volunteer program not expecting to be accepted. However, not long after applying, and email soon arrived that informed me that I'd been accepted to teach English to kindergarteners in China, and I would be leaving February 1. That night, as I knelt to pray, I was reminded of that answer that I had received exactly a year ago, and I felt a sweet whisper and reminder that this was the option I had waited for. Now I am here, in Zhenjiang, China. I wake up every morning and greet children from ages 2-7 as they walk through the gate. I watch as their eyes widen when they realize that the world is bigger than they thought, and that they could have it all, if they wanted. They smile at me and tell me shyly that they love me. Every day is hard, some days I feel as if I want to tear my hair out. But their angel smiles remind me every day that there is so much joy to be found, when we find the courage to believe in God.

Miracle 138: Heimlich of Champions
This miracle comes from a young man with a cute family here in Florida.
One day I was baby sitting my younger cousins with my sister. We gave them life savers to suck on, and my one little cousin, began to choke. It became very obvious that it was lodged in her throat, and her face began to change color. At nine years old, I hadn't had any kind of training for this type of event. However, through the grace of God, I knew what to do and I started the Heimlich maneuver. After a few attempts, she threw up the life saver and was just fine. Her life was saved due to this miracle from God!
Feliz dÃa de!

Miracle 137: A Powerful Priesthood Blessing
This miracle is from a missionary in Texas! We love how powerful God's hand truly is.
While tracting one day, we received a phone call from a very distressed member of our ward asking us to come over immediately. As we arrived, we were confronted with an extremely upset family and a woman that we had never seen before, who was on the edge of hysteria. The family explained to us that this woman, whom was a close family friend of theirs, was in need of a priesthood blessing, for a problem that she was having with her eye. Roughly 5 years previously, this woman had a strange thing happen to her left eye in which, from what I understood, a blood vessel had ruptured and blood had started entering her eye. She went to a doctor to see what could be done and was informed that there were no current procedures that would be able to help. Within 3 days she had lost sight in her left eye completely, and remained blind in her left eye. Now the same thing had happened in her right eye, with blood descending out of nowhere to cloud this sister's vision. She, having learned from her previous mistake, went immediately to the doctor who gave her the same unfortunate news.. there was nothing to be done.. and she would most likely lose the vision in her remaining eye due to complications. And that is why we were called, she told us bluntly, she needed a miracle. We prayed as a companionship, and then explained to this sister what a blessing entails, explaining that if she had sufficient faith, and it was the will of God, she would be healed. We then laid our hands on her head and pronounced a blessing. While my companion was giving the blessing, she began to sob and tremble.. When the blessing was complete, she stood up from her chair and started to praise the Lord. She explained that the exact moment in which she had been commanded to be healed in the blessing, she felt the blood leave her eye. She was indeed made whole that day. The doctors had no explanation for how this happened, none that they could understand or scientifically prove, but we know that it was the Lord acting through His priesthood here on Earth that changed the life of this woman, the family, and the young missionaries that were able to witness this great miracle. Through faith and proper authority, all things may be accomplished. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to witness such a miracle in my life, and even more so to play a role in it.

Miracle 136: Inspired to Lift the Passenger Seat!
This beautiful miracle is from AUSTRALIA =) Love it. We've touched a new continent.
My miracle happened quite some time ago, but I will keep it brief, basically our family was on holiday and I was travelling in central Australia from Alice Springs back to Curtin Springs Station where the other half of the family were, and the vehicle I was driving was a van, and the fan belt broke, so I was driving over an hour out of Alice with heat coming off of the engine from under my seat. I noticed the thermometer almost on the red and knew that something was wrong. I had been to Alice for the weekend just left morning after Sacrament meeting, and had my girls with me as we were heading out on a 400 kilometer journey, The youngest was a baby, and the oldest was about 7. I stopped to see if I could see what the cause of the heat was and at this point I didn't know that the fan belt had broken. Each time the motor cooled down a little I would drive about 1 kilometer and the temp was up again, so after doing this about 3 times, and asking for help from passers by to call my husband 300 kilometers away when they got reception on there mobile phones, I decided to ask Heavenly Father for help, and both my oldest daughter and myself were inspired at the same time to drive with the front passenger seat lifted up in the van while I drove, this is done when the mechanics repair the motor anyway this created the ventilation that the motor needed to cool down and for me to drive to Erldunda turn off, With still another 200 kilometers to travel, I waited there as it was safer than driving till it got dark and sitting on the side of the road with no power, or lights for oncoming traffic to find us, Heavenly Father knows best.

Miracle 135: Life's Full Of Miracles!
This lovely miracle is from a beautiful mother of 3 living in Florida.
As I've thought about which miracle I would share today I couldn't decide on just one. So here are several I see as miracles in my life. 1st of all I'm thankful that when I was 2 years old my parents decided to move to Union County (my dad's hometown) to raise their family. I have been so blessed by growing up in this small town. Without being here I wouldn't have met my 1st miracle... my husband who I love so much and can't imagine my life without! He has given me three more miracles... my children. I didn't quite appreciate what miracles the 1st two were until faced with lots of heartbreak trying for the 3rd... Lastly, I'm thankful for the miracle of being accepted to The University of Florida where I earned my BSN which gives me the opportunity to witness the greatest miracle of life ...little miracles born everyday I work! None of this would be possible without the miracle of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, the miracle of His death and the miracle of his resurrection which gives us all the chance to return to live with him again one day!!!

Miracle 134: A Miracle from India!
This beautiful miracle is from a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in INDIA! Miracles are happening all around the world.
This past Saturday
and Sunday has been one big miracle. This Saturday, we again visited a brother's home. On the phone, he said you can come, but my wife
is not interested. So we went. When we got there, I felt right at home.
Their home is very western and modern. Additionally, they were in that
"Saturday afternoon" mode- This brother was still in his pajama
bottoms watching "Get Smart" while eating his late lunch that his wife
prepared- Mutton Curry (but it was Kerela style because that's where
their family is from. Kerala food means nice coconut flavors.) His
children were running around playing and I played snakes and ladders for
10 minutes while he was finishing. Then, we started talking with
him and his wife, and naturally the discussion led to the Restoration of the Gospel and the Plan of Salvation. We were there for about two and
half hours reading from the Bible and Book of Mormon with him and
answering the different questions they had. By the end of it, his
wife, agreed to come to church with the full family! I don't know
how her heart softened in two and half hours, but it truly did. When we
first met her last week, she was pretty stiff, but by the end of
Saturday, she was laughing and smiling with us! And yesterday, they all
came with their three children! And it turned out the
church members they sat next to were the children's classmates. And
another family from our branch are from the same part of Kerala as their
family! Needless to say, they had a wonderful Sunday and the branch
members were all very happy and welcoming to them. These are the moments
when you feel like everything is worth it. I can't help but give
gratitude to Heavenly Father for allowing me to be an instrument in His
hands. And we are looking forward to continue teaching their family and
help them prepare to become an eternal family!

Miracle 132: Horses for Sale!
This darling miracle all about horses is from a cute woman living in Georgia!
My sweet little daughter has so much faith in the Lord. She LOVES horses! We are blessed to live on a farm with acreage, but we do not have a horse, nor can we really afford to buy one, but my daughter believes that if we ask, we shall receive. She has been praying for a horse for years. She has looked up sites on the internet for free horses. The other day we were in a feed store buying feed for our goats. My daughter was looking at some horse saddles and the owner of the store came over and asked if we had a horse, or if we needed a horse. It turns out that he is leaving the state and he has 8 horses that he is trying to find homes for. He said he would give one of his horses to us for a good price - FREE. Yesterday, my daughter's faith-filled prayers and desires were answered - there is a beautiful horse grazing out in our pasture right now, and it is all hers!

Miracle 130: Special Fasts
This lovely miracle is from a missionary serving in Florida currently!
Growing up on a farm there has been many times throughout my life when we have witnessed miracles coming in forms such as being saved from harm, given guidance, and provided strength. Rain is often the form in which these miracles come. There have been many times when we are in desperate need of moisture and so the church members in the local area would hold a special fast for the farmers. Without fail rain always comes. I know that Heavenly Father is aware of us and our individual needs. He literally "pours out his blessings upon us" I am grateful for everything that the Lord does for me and my family. I love being here in Florida as a missionary!

There have been many times when we are in desperate need of moisture and so the church members in the local area would hold a special fast for the farmers. Without fail rain always comes. I know that Heavenly Father is aware of us and our individual needs. He literally "pours out his blessings upon us" I am grateful for everything that the Lord does for me and my family. I love being here in Florida as a missionary!

Miracle 129: Without Question
This miracle is from a Navy wife living in Georgia. She is gem with one darling daughter and another baby on the way!
We learned that a family member was very sick and hospitalized earlier this week. The news brought me to my knees that we may be facing a life altering event. I prayed for those who were operating that their hands be steady and that the hand of God would guide them. That the family who were able to be near by were comforted and able to keep their thoughts collected. Also, for those that could not be near by to have the faith and take comfort in knowing that God almighty would take care of everything. Shortly after I asked friends and family online to pray for our family. Now, I just received word that our loved one will be moving from ICU to recovery very soon! God bless the meek, mild and humbled spirits who, without question, prayed for a speedy recovery!

Miracle 128: Destiny
This powerful miracle is one that we love with all our hearts. This wise mom is from Gainsville, Florida.
On November 11, 2002, God allowed me to bring a beautiful child into this world. This is my miracle baby because when I found out I was pregnant I was in the military and really didn't want any children. I became very depressed and wanted to have an abortion. I scheduled many appointments at the abortion clinic, but something always came up and I was unable to keep the appts. The last appt I scheduled was at an Atlanta clinic. I was seven months pregnant and they could perform this very expensive procedure. On the day that I was scheduled to go, I didn't have all of the money and a friend of mine promised to give it to me, but he ended up lying! I was furious with him. I am so grateful to that friend for lying about giving me the rest of the money. You saved my angel's life. I decided that if I had to keep her, I would give her up for adoption. Her god-mother was going to adopt her and they were going to live in Texas. Those were my plans, but God had other plans. Well... things fell through and her god-mother would no longer be able to take her. When I went to the hospital to have my baby, I had chosen a name for her, but after having her I couldn't remember what it was. I was so depressed that I didn't even want to give her a name. When the nurse came in and told me that she needed a name to put on the paperwork, the only name that came to mind was Destiny. Destiny is defined as the inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined. It's what's written in the stars. God already knew what a blessing she would be to me. He knew the joy she would bring to my life. I love my big girl with everything in me and I thank God for not letting me have my way. He will definitely intercept our plans so that His will can be done.

Miracle 127: Fasting Works!
This miracle is from a young woman from Indiana. She is currently serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Florida.
In 2012 my Dad had a surprise double-bypass/open heart surgury which was followed by multiple organ failure, and a stroke. The doctors had to put him in a medical-coma because his heart wasn't strong enough to support his life. Every time they tried to bring him out of his coma his vitals would drop dramatically. I started to realize that there was a big chance my Dad wasn't going to make it. This was devastating to me! My church congregation and my whole family fasted and prayed for his recovery and the very next day the doctors were able to bring him out of his coma and his recovery after that went very smoothly. Today, my dad continues to draw, walk, talk, make jokes, smile, and be the miracle of a man he is. I know that there are miracles still today! Fasting works! Our Heavenly Father loves us with an unconditional love!

Miracle 126: Completely Healed
This incredible miracle is from a kind man living in a small town in Florida!
While serving as a missionary in Medellin, Colombia in June 1982, my companion and I received a phone call from the mission home that some non-members had requested a blessing for their sick four-year-old daughter. They were desperate. They had been to the best medical help, tried every church, and spent thousands of dollars to have their daughter healed, to no avail. We were a last resort for them. We made arrangements to meet the father and his family that same evening. The father was a good man and a great father, who only wanted the best for his young family. Based on his previous religious experiences, he asked us "How much do you charge for blessings?" He added that he didn't have much money left, but he would try to come up with whatever we asked. We responded that this priesthood blessing was a gift from Christ and free for all. His next question was about our authority, "Who was it from?" This, for us was a wonderful opportunity to explain the gospel. His wife had faith in the Lord, but was bitter with life and "turned-off" to organized religion because of the plight of their daughter.
Their four-year-old daughter was the most pitiful little thing I had ever seen. She couldn't breathe properly. Her chest would rise and fall rapidly as she tried to catch her breath. She constantly ran a fever, and had been bedridden for the previous two years. We gave the man and his wife discussion "C" (on the Restoration) that night. Afterward we told them we would give their daughter a blessing, but their faith was as necessary as our priesthood authority. They said they believed. We blessed that poor helpless child that night, and the spirit touched me like never before. Everyone felt the spirit, and at the conclusion of the blessing everyone was in tears. We knew she would be healed, her parents knew it, and she knew it. As we left the appointment and walked home that evening the feelings of the spirit continued and my companion and I both experienced a sensation that felt like we were floating down the street.
The next day went by quickly as we attended to our other investigator families, but there was only one thing on our minds; this little girl. When we returned we had hoped to see some improvement in her condition, perhaps to see her standing on her own, or better yet to see her taking a few feeble steps with assistance. As representatives of the Lord we built up their hopes pretty high, and were hoping they wouldn't be let down. When we finally returned the next afternoon, and rounded the last corner to their house, our weak faith became apparent to both of us. For in front of us, this little girl who had been unable to get out of bed for two years, was running and playing with the other children in the street. She had been completely healed. We had underestimated the power of the priesthood. Thankfully the Lord didn't limit her blessing to the limitations we imagined. Later the father told us the blessing had a more drastic effect on his wife than their daughter. After two years of caring for a sick child and trying everything, she had given up hope. She was having a nervous breakdown. The blessing also changed her heart. Their family was baptized after receiving the remaining discussions.

Miracle 125: Have Everyone Start Praying
This powerful miracle is from a woman living in Florida that I just met last week. She is incredibly kind and we adore her family.
My miracle is when my son was 9 he had got glass in both eyes and the doctor told me that if his left eye did not look better by the morning he would have to do surgery and take it out. He then asked me if I went to church. I said, "Yes sir, I do." He told me to have everyone start praying. Well, God worked a miracle...when I took him back the next morning, his eye was a 100 percent better. God is so good all the time.

Miracle 124: She Is Truly My Little Miracle
This darling miracle is from a father of 7 living in lovely Florida. They are my home away from home on my mission.
On May 7,2002 my wife gave birth to my first baby girl, Kelsey. She was so Beautiful and Healthy! Then on May 12th, less then a week later on Mothers Day, while I was cooking my wife a big dinner to celebrate the occasion, we watched Kelsey go from a healthy little newborn to an extremely sick little girl who was almost lifeless and vomiting bright green bile,also refusing to eat. My wife called PEDS after hours countless times just to have them say that there was no need to worry about it, that the nurses obviously didn't suction her nose and throat well enough after her delivery. They said to wait till the next day and the Pediatrician could see her. We knew something much worse was going on with her so we left very quickly and took her to the hospital. When we arrived there Kelsey wasn't opening her eyes and was very lethargic. They stuck us in a room and we prayed over her.
As we looked at her we knew we were losing her. My wife at this point became panicked with fear, she left the room and grabbed a doctor by his arm and made him help us. As soon as this man seen the condition she was in he realized she was dying. The next thing we knew our room was packed with nurses and doctors. They surrounded Kelsey and pushed us out of the way. They gave her two spinal taps and she never flinched, she didn't blink her eye or move a finger. We were froze with fear. They had us call our family in to be with us. Then after running some quick tests they told us with such urgency that her bowels and intestines had wrapped around one another and it had poisoned her so severely they only gave her a 2% chance of survival. He then looked at us and my sister in laws and said that if the stomach bile was dead when he cut her little belly open that he would have to sew her back up and he would let us hold her until she passed. We couldn't believe our ears, we couldn't believe this was happening to us. This was my first baby girl, and this was happening on Mothers day when this baby was only five days old. We watched as they wheeled her away very quickly. We sat in the waiting room for an hour PRAYING that God would let us keep her.
The phone rang in the waiting room...It was the doctor, he said the bile is alive but we are still working on her. I fell to my knees thanking God for this miracle baby he had blessed us with. My wife and I never left her side. When we did sleep it was only between shift changes and we would sleep in my truck, constantly watching the clock. Kelsey's bowels woke up on day 7! Then my wife was finally able to nurse her. She is truly my little miracle! I am so thankful for her, my life wouldn't be the same without my little girl! Kelsey is now 11 years old and in the 5th grade! I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for the beautiful little girl he has blessed my life with. Eternally Grateful!

Miracle 123: Five Miracles in One
This incredible miracle is from an incredible young woman living in Georgia. I adore her faith!
This might be intense but it's the best miracle and testimony I have. I have been homeless since I was 15 and got into prostitution, drugs, abusive relationships. and ended up in the hospital several times. Tried to commit suicide and didn't succeed (miracle #1). I went and got help several times but went back to "the life". Long story short I stayed in "the life" til I was 19. And one day I finally got on my knees and said "God if there is anyways you still love me and you are real please save me". 3 days later I was at a friend's house and 3 missionaries showed up (miracle #2). Elder Thomas and 2 others. They asked me if i had any questions and i was like i sure do. i was still in "the life" little did they know. But they kept showing up. Kept praying for me. Even when i told them i couldn't see them any more because my abuser wouldn't allow it. He even stopped me from going to church with them. Well one day my abuser beat me and left me laying in the middle of the road. I called Elder Thomas and asked if they could help me. I truly wanted help and a better life. They arranged for a Sister to pick me up and take me to the bus station with gifts and love. SHE SAID SHE LOVED ME. it was the first time in a LONG TIME someone said they loved me and i could actually feel it. she didn't even know me (miracle #3). I went to a program and have been blessed by surrendering my life to GOD. (miracle #4). And since i said i couldn't live my life my way anymore he has shown me the best life i could have by faith, trust, and surrendering. I have been sober and out of the life since October 26, 2012. (miracle #5). everyday is a miracle because im still here and i still get a chance to live for the man who saved me. I am LOVED. I have a spiritual family. I am SAVED. I am FREE. I am SOBER. I am HEALED. I am REDEEMED. I have a story to tell that will save someones life, just like the person who saved mine.

Miracle 122: Such a Scare
This powerful miracle is actually from my darling mom living in California! Love it. Love her.
Our daughter, nearly 2, gave us such a scare on Saturday, May 6, 1985 when she fell into Grandpa’s and Grandma’s swimming pool unnoticed. I had had a dream a few days before about her falling into a pool. I worried all week about the warning I knew I had been given. The day Jaclyn did fall into the pool, Dad, , my sister-in-law, and I did not hear the splash, but I had a feeling come over me that told me she was in trouble. I turned around inside the family room and found the sliding screen door open. She had slipped off the shallow steps in the pool and was splashing her hands above the water while her head was submerged. I jumped into the water and scooped her out as she coughed and choked from the water she had swallowed. We were so grateful she was going to be okay. We all said prayers of thankfulness to our Heavenly Father for watching over her. I know that God through the Holy Ghost prompted me to know that she needed us. I am grateful I listened to the whisperings of the Spirit which was a miracle in our lives that day!

Miracle 121: Receiving a Peace
This powerful miracle is from a friend of mine currently living in California. His faith is stunning.
So I was a full time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It has been the happiest, most fulfilling time of my life. It was a God-sent blessing to be able to see (and become an active part of) the changes that people were making in their lives. Then I got sick. The vertigo was so bad that I could not stand straight. The hope was that I would have surgery in Peru and I would quickly get back to the work that I loved so much. That did not happen. It was decided that the procedure would be better done in the United States. Upon arrival I received the news from the doctor that surgery would only make my condition worse and there was nothing he could do. Only time would allow me to heal. The happiness and fulfillment that I so dearly loved was taken from me. So I am currently home, waiting to heal.
And while I went through a time where I felt that my life held little meaning, I received a peace from the presence of God that He had a purpose for me. And though it has been hard, I realized that He needs me home more than as a missionary. I have seen the miracle of faith- the very faith that allowed me to glimpse at His plan for me.

This wonderful miracle is from a young man from Arizona! Hope you love it.
I think my biggest miracle that I've been able to enjoy in my recent life, is when I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I remember praying about the Church and then going to bed, deciding to wait for the answer. When I woke up in the morning, I was exceedingly happy. I felt like Christ had come down and given me a big ole hug, and a month later I was baptized!
There will be miracles when you believe in God.
