I'm buying Missionary Experiences

Dad and I are spending all of our time in the mission office and very seldom get to go interact with members and only a few times with investigators.  But we do get to see 'our missionaries' all of the time! 
I've decided that the missionaries are having all of these great missionary experiences and as Tyler says, we are being 'facilitators'.  That's okay, being a facilitator is great because we are doing something useful and we get to interact with the missionaries all of the time.  I still thought we needed a few missionary experiences - so I'm buying them!  I started with the missionaries going home a month or so ago.  If they would write me up a couple of their favorite missionary experiences, then I would give them 'travel cookies'.  They thought it was a good trade and I've got some good missionary stories. 
I want to share some of the stories.

Answers to Prayer  

When asked about charity and love during a lesson.  Our recent convert excitedly replied that she had had a recent experience with that.  We asked her to explain and she began to explain the miracle of service that had occurred in her life.  Earlier that week Elvine heard a knock on her gate late at night, she responded and found a destitute, pregnant young women hysterical at her gate.  She asked the woman what was wrong; finding out that her water had broken, and she and her husband had been in a fight and he was nowhere to be found, and she didn’t know what to do.  Elvine gave her all she had, which was 5 cups of rice for her children to eat, and about 7,000 Ar which would be enough for a taxi to get her to the hospital for the premature birth her baby.

Even though Elvine knew she would have no food for the next few days by doing so, she saw someone she knew in need and gave everything she had.  She prayed and then trusted that Heavenly Father would bless her for her good deed. And that’s what happened.  The next afternoon a distant relative from Mahajanga stopped by randomly, knocked, greeted Elvine saying, ‘ hey we were in town so we thought we'd stop by and pay you back your 100,000 Ar from that old debt a few years back’.  Elvine said it had been so long she'd forgotten about it, but was blown away at the uncoincidental answer to her prayer. She jokingly said she would trade 7,000Ar for 100,000Ar any day. 

God for sure answers our prayers when we personally become the answer for someone else's prayer. There is no such thing as a coincidence...
