Lead by The Spirit!

So we were delayed getting to email by 2 days (abnormal) and when we started this morning my computer froze up completely (yes, I tried ctrl-alt-del, esc, and everything else).  It was completely stuck (also kind of abnormal).  So, I let my companion know that I was frozen out and waited for anything to happen.  I decided I would try one last thing.... pray!!

 

So in my prayer, I told Heavenly Father that I KNEW He could fix my computer and that I had tried everything!  I asked that I would know what to do and said that I know that whatever happened was for a reason. it was still stuck (not as abnormal, haha)  so I started looking around for stuff to entertain/do while I waited for my comp to finish.  When I was looking behind me (something I definitely wouldn't have done if my computer was working) I noticed someone struggling to talk to the head librarian.  After seeing the familiar grunts and movements, I realized that she was signing!!!!!!!!!

 

I immediately walked over and "asked" if she was deaf.  She was and both of us were glad to find someone we could sign with!!  We signed for 5-10 minutes talking about work, back home, life, and sign language!  I even was able to suggest a cool Mormon deaf video on Youtube!!  She said when her work schedule was and so we'll stop by and sign with her again sometime!!!

 

I was completely blown away!! I was so blessed to have my email freeze!!  I was able to know instantly what the Lord wanted and what to do!!  I'm still kind of shaking from the experience!!! This isn't even the first experience this week like this where the Spirit has told us exactly what and when to do something and it has brought immediate fruits!!

Still though, even though Signing was incredible (another super cool thing I need to tell you about), just the fact that the Spirit is that close in directing us just inflates my heart and carries me away!

Check out our tree!!!  Now our study room smells like orange, popcorn, and pumpkin pie spice!!!
