It was like manna from Heaven

Sister King and I were supposed to get paid on Monday last week for groceries because it was only like the 30th of the month, but we didn't. And I decided to spend my green card (personal debit card) on stupid stuff at Walgreens that morning. :( So, we got to Korger and bought a few things like laundry detergent and food from the deli to eat for lunch that day. I felt really bad for wasting my money previously that morning, because I could have used it to help us buy a few more necessities. So Sister King suggested we just use one of our lunch breaks during the week to head over to Korger and do our grocery shopping. (We were going to get paid on Wednesday), but I felt like it was my fault that we didn't have any food, because I spent my emergency money from home on personal things, rather than saving it for an actual emergency like this, so I decide that we should just embrace the results of our actions and go the week without any food.

We literally had nothing. No milk, eggs, bread, pasta, meat or any fruits! Sister King had bought like 3 cucumbers, that's pretty much all we had!

Besides, were are not really supposed to do any shopping during the week, so I told Sister K that we most certainly were NOT going to go shopping for food that week. We would just have to hand this one to the Lord. Because good things happen when you are obedient, but MIRACLES happen when you are strictly obedient. And, Centerville really needed a miracle.

This is probably the hardest area in the ENTIRE mission. It needs all the miracles it can get! So, we stepped into the week on nothing but faith in God to keep us alive. And, miracles happened!

So Wednesday, the elders invited all the sisters in the zone to Cousin Vinny's after district meeting. So that was one day taken car of. Then that night, the members who had signed up to feed us, cancelled. But, the mom still dropped food by our apartment. When she showed up, it was like manna from heaven! She had a whole bag of fruits and just a bunch of groceries she had picked up from Korger like chips, salsa, salad, a whole jug of minute Maid and frozen taquitos to heat up!

Seriously! That's when I knew Heavenly Father was watching out for Centerville. The thing is, the fact that she cancelled was a miracle, because then she wouldn't have gone and bought a ton of food for us. Like I doubt she even knew our circumstance, we didn't tell anyone that we didn't have food that week. Only Heavenly Father knew. That's the best thing that happened this week.
