A Miracle.

We love serving here!   As a reminder that our loving Heavenly Father loves and watches over even His 'old' missionaries, I want to share what happened to us on Thursday.  Sister Foy and I had to drive way across town to the Grange Farm House. I still have no idea where anything is, but she felt confident that she could remember how to drive there. Her husband needed the GPS, so we were left with just our memory. We drove around and around the other side of town, which was about 20 minutes away, and everything looks the same, a few houses, on small, twisty-turning roads, surrounded by yellow grain fields, either harvested or getting ready to be.   We had a 'TomTom' GPS system with us, which would not work. Just froze up and mocked us for trying to use it, in the lovely male English accent.
We were lost!



I had an impression to use my iPhone map system, even though we do not yet have service, other than while connected to wi-fi at the house.  I turned on google maps, and "NO SERVICE" popped up, as expected. What I did NOT expect, is that the maps started working!
I put in the name of the town we were looking for, Hamerton, and Siri started giving us directions!  It was a lot of "go 1 mile...turn right..go 2 miles,..turn left..etc.." and it took us right to our farm!  Sister Foy said, "I would never have found that!"     All the while, my phone, (we had discontinued our Verizon service the night before, as there is no Verizon service in the UK) read "NO SERVICE".  We went inside and said a prayer of thanks! 
A short time later, Sister Foy received a phone call, saying we needed to return to the office to bring a key.   I tried to use my phone again for directions.  It read, "NO SERVICE", and wouldn't work.  We found our way back, (singing, "we drive by faith") and tried to use it again a few more times, and it still read, "NO SERVICE", and didn’t work.
  
I know that miracles happen every day, but I'm thankful that our Lord was mindful of us this day.  I feel so blessed and honored to be here, in His service at this time.
