Hello, everyone. Welcome to Follow Him favorites. John and I are sharing a single story to go with

each week's lesson. John, we are in Doctor in Covenants 46, 47, and 48, and you've told me you have

a story. I want to hear it. Yeah, Section 46, as you remember, has a list of spiritual gifts in there.

And we had a wonderful discussion on our podcast about it four years ago.

We have another one this time.

One of the verses here says, and again to some is given the working of miracles.

And I thought, whoa, how many stories have we heard in church history where there are miracles?

You ask your average group group who is it that said

that was this j reuben clark how many of you have been the conscious recipient of a miracle in your in your

family and most people will raise their hand i think yeah i think it's something i have yeah me too

with my brother in the kidney and every it was amazing there's a little book called everyday miraclesacles, and I read this story. I just loved it. In June of 1964, I was alive, you weren't. We were pouring concrete floors in the chapel and the recreational hall of the Poverty Bay District of Gisborne, New Zealand, Second Branch Chapel. There had been storms in the area

for three weeks that boats had not been able to deliver cement to Gisborne. We had borrowed all the

cement there was within 80 miles, and when we quit work for lunch on the last day of pouring,

we had just two bags of cement left and needed two and a half yards cubic yards of concrete,

enough to fill an area 15 feet by 13 feet.

This would have required 12 bags of concrete to complete the job.

As we returned from lunch, everyone was saying, why even start?

It wouldn't even be worthwhile.

I told them, start the mixer, that we were not only going to pour, we would complete our floors that day. Then, not knowing at the time how it could be done, I walked a short distance from the group and prayed. I simply said, Father, you fed the thousands with five loaves and two fishes.

Surely you can help us this day. We went to work and mixed two small one-fourth-yard

batches of concrete with the two bags of cement we had and started pouring. There seemed to be no

end to the concrete as it poured from our wheelbarrows.
