Miracles!

We had this amazing miracle that happened last night and I just have to share it with everybody! Just a little side note it does not have a ton to do with missionary work, more just seeing that our Father in Heaven is very aware of us!

So here is what happened. We had a dinner appointment and it was super yummy. As we were eating the family mentioned how they had planned on making us homemade frosty's and gee I was super excited. However, the family realized they had no ice cream for the frosty and so we were dessert-less :( 
As we drove to our next appointment Sister Avanesjan offered a prayer and so kindly asked Heavenly Father to provide us somehow with some kind of dessert. I smiled as we walked inside the members home knowing sometime that night we would be offered some kind of yummy food. 
We had a fantastic time with the family and the spirit was so strong as we discussed how important it is to share our testimonies, no matter how strong, with those people around us. Heading to the door the lady stopped us and asked, "Hey! Would you like a piece of homemade pie?"
"SURE!" we responded. 
It was delicious! Lemon pie. It hit the spot.
About 40 minutes later we were talking about how God answered two silly missionaries prayers. We continued to think about how it would have been nice to have some chocolate as well because that was what we were really craving. Again we commenced praying for another 'food' miracle.
About 8:50 right before returning home we finished our last lesson of the night and this wonderful lady told us to take a fudge pop. CHOCOLATE! Miracle :) It was my companions first fudge pop as well. I find it so amazing how God is so aware of us!
To put the icing on top of the cake we went home to a HUGE box from Germany. My companion is having a birthday this weekend and her mother sent a big box full delectable German chocolate. There was so much semi-melted chocolate that we took a full shelf in the mini-fridge of ours to stash it.
Miracle?! I THINK SO :)

I know it is kind of funny, but this just goes to show how God is really truly with us in everything we do. We had a desire to be blessed with some sweets and within 3 hours we had miracle dessert after miracle dessert. Miracles. They happen each and every day. Even something as simple as this!
