Little Miracles That We Need Every Day

We have posted several times wondering if everything is becoming common place and not out of the ordinary for us now.  At times even little miracles come so subtly that we fail to see what a true miracle that they are in our lives.

Today we continued to be blessed by little miracles that aid the gospel through out the world, that the world does not recognize as miracles, computers and the internet.  This morning we Skyped with Sister Powell and Sister Roberts in Hong Kong, this afternoon we were part of a video conference that included Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and of course Cambodia, this afternoon we received translated documents that were quickly passed with a few clicks to the attorneys.  Even twenty years ago most of these activities would have taken a completely different communication method and would not have been as efficient.

The world looks at computers and the internet as something that was created for them, but they are the beneficiaries of the miracles of heaven.  Without the internet the worldwide Church could not hear the words of the prophets and apostles, and other leaders almost instantaneously.  This weekend they will see General Conference here in Cambodia, and hear it in their own language.  Computers also are a great aid in the translation of so much of the Church publications and manuals.

Another great miracle is that of transportation.  It took us twenty-five hours or so to fly to Cambodia, but that is way better than driving from Utah to California and then getting on a boat for a long crossing of the ocean.  We also appreciate that we have a car here and are able to get about quicker than if we had to walk.  We have seen the missionaries get to places faster on their bikes than we can in the car, like from our  office to the mission office.

We are grateful for all of the little miracles that we over look, including electricity, running water, food that we can buy instead of grow, and so many others.  We are truly blessed.
