Miracles Today

This week I'll share a sweet miracle that happened to us.  On the 28th of every month we are suppose to get subsistence.  So, as ZL's we needed to go to Kakata and get the baptismal records of the converts that were just baptized.  Our plan for the day was to eat lunch in Kakata before we came back, and then come home.  Well, while we were in our area, Sister Wesseh had cooked some food for us.  Now we didn't have to spend money anymore.  We then left from her place after sharing a little message and went to the Eco bank to get money.  As I stuck my card in and was typing in the numbers, the machine wigs out and says, Out of Service.  No.....  Neither of us had over ten US with us left for the month.  I looked around to see if we could talk to someone about it, and then I saw a paper saying they had an Eco bank at the air port.  So, we went and tried the airport, and as we pulled up.... it said the same thing.   Well this isn't good.  At this point, Elder Haas has no more money at all.  I check my wallet, and We have exactly enough funds to get to kakata and back, with ten LD to spare. 10 LD buys you two waters that's it.  So its not much.  We figured we could pull money in Kakata so we decided to go anyway.  The two of us were sitting in the Kakata car waiting for more people to come, when I was thinking about our day thus far.  I then realized the miracle that God had put in our life.  We were planning on eating once we got into Kakata, but because of the situation now, we don't have money for it.  Sister Wessehs food was a blessing for us!  Once we arrived in Kakata, we didn't have any money to even get to the missionaries apartment, so we had the driver stop us to the Bank at the edge of Kakata to see if we could pull money.  Guess what... ATM doesn't work their either. Now we really don't have any money left.  We did our business in Kakata and then headed back to Harbel.  On our way back, we didn't know how we would even make it back to the apartment.  On a bike it takes 40 LD to get from the parking place, to our apartment.  No small distance.  To walk, would take maybe an hour or more.  We were praying hard!!  Both of us were throwing ideas together to see if we could get a free ride from a bike by teaching him about faith and the blessings God would give him. :)  But we kept praying the whole ride back.  As the car pulled into Harbel, we walked to the Supermarket where the bank was at to try one more time before we took our journey home.  This was the moment..... We walked through the gate of the parking lot, and as I glanced at the screen, it looked like it was functioning.  I got a little excited, but decided that I shouldn't get my hopes up.  I put my card in and typed in the amount.  IT WORKED!!!!  At least we had my money that we could share if it didn't let Elder Haas work.  But as he stuck his in, it worked for him to!  Another miracle!  We finally had money to get back to the apartment!  How thankful we were for that one!
Hope you all have a great week!  Love you!

Love Elder Zaugg
