A Bundle of Miracles for Ya!

OH dear FAMILY and people I ADORE!
This week was a bundle of miracles! I don't know which to start with. Yesterday we received a call from a mother in the ward whose daughter has needed parental consent from her father before she could be baptized. She had been waiting for a while now, and yesterday he finally gave permission! So many prayers in her behalf have been answered! We also took a sister from our ward to help us teach a Spanish-speaking family. Even though we couldn't understand very much of the conversation, the spirit was strong when our translator bore her testimony. Later, while riding to the  General Women's broadcast together, this sister and our bishop's family were talking about the experience. After a few questions, they realized that the daughter of the Spanish-speaking family is good friends with our bishop's daughter! We are so excited!
We also had another miracle involving our most progressing investigator (who is very SUDDENLY progressing and we have realized is the REASON we are still in Cambridge together). We took her with us to visit a ward missionary. It turned out she knew the ward missionary's husband because he worked with her fiancĂ© and had become friends with him. Now her fiancĂ© is planning to come to church and she's thinking of finally being married!
We also rode with a sister to the broadcast who told us of how a less active man she knew was out walking and wondering what to do with his life and he suddenly looked down to see: "To learn more about God's plan for you, visit MORMON.ORG" . It was the sign we wrote in chalk at the park! He took it as a sign to come back to church! Also, the same sister told us of how her friend who we had tracted into had been asking questions and learning more about God.
The sign we made that inspired at least one person!
On top of all that, we had D. come to church! He has not come for about two months so it was so good to see him. SO many blessings and miracles are happening here and I feel to speak the way Ammon did- I glory in my God! I just read Alma 26 yesterday, and how appropriate it is :D God is the most incredible, powerful being in the UNIVERSE and He knows how everything will work backwards and forwards- we just have to be patient to find out what it is!

I am just so grateful that God has granted that I, an incredibly imperfect missionary and person, can be part of His amazing and unfathomable miracles, which He is pouring onto this sweet area! How Great is our God!! He is infinitely merciful and loving :D

Alright so just a few other things that were awesome this week- we taught a member of the Jehovah's Witness church.  Of course we didn't get many words in- and when we could the spirit shut our mouths. But he was civil and we were able to recognize the differences in what we believe- it was fascinating. We also found out that Sister K., the lady we live with, IS MOVING!!!! We have been packing and cleaning like crazy cause we'll probably have to move to an apartment soon. It will be weird, but it will also be nice (no crazy dogs that bark our ears off every time we come through the door... haha).

Alright everyone-I love you to bits :) I hope school is going well and that you still have time to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL autumn weather! 

Hurrah for Israel!
Love,
Sister Roberts
