3 Miracles

 On the Subway in Philly to see the Mummers Day parade with our Mission President, President Anderson and his wife. This week we got to be with our fellow Senior Missionaries 3 times ( but those are not the miracles). Monday we did a downtown Philly visit to Macy's famous organ, Reading Terminal for lunch and the historic Independence Mall. Tuesday we got to go to the Washington DC temple and again saw our President
We have kept our Christmas "box-tree" up because we have hung all of our letters and cards on it.
Our third miracle came Wednesday, when we had planned to go to the NYC temple but because we hitched a ride with our friends on Tuesday to DC we decided to wait.. And, early Wednesday morning while I was swimming, I could tell that there was a new very large crane in the Temple lot. Now, let me explain, everyday we have been watching the temple building. Everyday we were praying we would be able to see the Angel Moroni. Every morning,very early I would go over to the site and talk to the workmen, trying to get as much information about the building. The miracle was, we were not planning on being in town on Wednesday, but because we had a last minute change of plans, I spent the entire day texting ward members, photographing the latest development and witnessing the beautiful Angel being lifted onto the East spire of the temple. Jim was gone most of
the day visiting with others. I was sad not to be able to share this with him but happy that so many of our neighbors and friends could learn more about the significance of the Angel Moroni.
Look in the middle of the photo and you can see the Angel going up!
Now we have our Angel  Moroni facing East to trumpet in when the Second Coming of Christ comes.
Now, you may ask, what were the first 2  miracles. Well, they may seem Good Will store with the  necessary long white skirt needed for our visit to the Temple! In my size- with a red tag which meant 1/2 off! Woo hoo!  Now that's a miracle.
