Day 14; Sunday, the 13th of July, 2014

We totally missed the bus this morning!!! It was crazy. We were stressed and frustrated. We were very mixed up, and didn’t know where we were. We were lost.
Everyone was in a bad mood. Tempers were exploding. Things were looking grim. We didn’t know if we would survive the day (jk).
We pulled over to the side of a random road, figuring we were just going nowhere faster by driving. I suggested we say a prayer.
You won’t believe what happened next. We finished the prayer and dad said, “Look out the window. You are about to see a miracle.”
I looked out the window and to my surprise and astonishment I saw the bus drive by!
Now I know what you are thinking. This could be coincidence. To prove it wasn't I could list several things; just pulled over by a random road, we had lost the bus a long time ago, and we couldn’t even figure it out on the GPS or online. 
I could point to these to show it was a miracle, but you are right. It could have been coincidence. 
It could have been, except it wasn’t. 
As we pulled in line behind the bus I felt a powerful sense of love. A few minutes later I heard the words to a primary song that was playing, “I know Heavenly Father loves me.” I could definitely feel His love then. He loved us enough to send His Son, and he also loves us enough to send little miracles. 

We then drove to the Susquehanna River. 

As we drove it was pouring rain. A half-hour or so before we arrived, the rain lessened, and then stopped altogether.

We went to a little place that was only accessible by a dirt road. If it had been raining, or the ground even a little wetter, we wouldn’t have been able to reach the river.

My favorite sights before that had been Adam-Ondi-Ahman and the Sacred Grove. 

That day a third sight of beauty and peace was added to that list; the banks of the Susquehanna River.


It was simply beautiful, in a way that went straight to my heart.
