Mission Miracle from Elder Benjamin Miles

April 12, 2009


Dan: This is the man from Bucharest that I was teaching before we left. I think I told you but about two weeks ago he told us he didn't want to listen any more and dropped us than on my last Saturday in Bucharest we invited him to church and he came a loved it and got answers to all of his questions! Then the next day why he was guarding the church we came and he asked us if we could start the lessons again and we said “ FOR SURE” and we had a wonderful lesson about how we can overcome weakness and trials and he loved it. In the same lesson Daniel shared a really cool experience with us he was telling us about how he wants to start to live his life like a member of the church and so he told us “ I really want to pay tithing!” and he told us how he has to work 12 hours a day so he can make 800 lei (about 250 dollars) a month. He told us that he has to send 200 of that (about 60 dollars) to his parents because his father got ripped off by the government and didn't get his retirement pay. So he told us that before he got his money that he made a budget and he put 100 hundred dollars aside for tithing. He told us in the day in which he put that hundred dollars away for tithing that his mom called him up and told him that his father had through a miracle found out that he was going to receive all of the retirement pay that he was supposed to be receiving and that Daniel would not have to send 200 dollars to them anymore. He looked at me and he finished telling the story and said, “ I believe in tithing. I haven't even paid it yet—I just thought about paying it and look what God has done. He has already opened the windows of heaven like he said he would.” This story strengthened my faith when I heard it.
