Mission Miracle from Sora Elizabeth Lovell

This week I felt a constant reminder about looking for and recognizing miracles. I felt so blessed pondering all the simple to magnificent miracles God allowed me to witness. I have seen baptisms, I have seen people's lives change, I have seen the impossible become possible here in Romania! Then sitting in a district meeting, Elder Richey (DL) asked us to share more miracles from serving missions. A random thought came into my mind. My brother, William. William (now 16yrs) was born three months premature (so he has been a miracle form the beginning) and because of that he has dyslexia. His junior high days were rough. He struggled to pass every year. Us other kids hated being home when it was time for William to do his homework because there was a daily battle between him and Mom to get the work all done. I was always secretly worried that because of the discouraging grades William would find comfort in the wrong places (friends or who knows what else) and just had a lingering concern for him as a big sister. The time came for me to leave on my mission. Months later the brother just younger than me (19yrs) also left to serve a mission (Milan, Italy). Through the weekly E-mails I did not realize the tremendous miracle occurring at home. Little changes occurred weekly that I noticed in Mom's E-mails such as "I saw William reading his scriptures" or "William came home and did his homework on his own" and so many other little things. Since then William has been diligently reading the scriptures daily (despite the possible headache that comes from dyslexia) and even studying preach my gospel. Today I received an E-mail from my mom that put the icing on the cake. William received straight A's on his report card. He overcame a stepping stone even I thought was too big for him (Oh me of little faith). My brother is a miracle.
