So people talk about miracles, but you don't get to see extraordinary ones very often. Well, yesterday I lived a miracle:
Maybe you have heard of it, maybe you haven't, but there is an event called the Best Bagger Contest. Well, I won for the Lehi Macey's store. Therefore I was the best bagger in the store. It gets better. So there is a state competition. I've spent the last month training every day to win this competition. Yesterday was the day of the actual state competition. This is where I would find out if all of this work would pay off. I had found out previously that the stakes were higher than I thought, we were talking about winning $500. When I went I thought I did pretty good. A half hour later I was told that I had gotten a fabulous score on the first round. I said my 6 millionth prayer for the day that I would win. The finalists were being announced, and to my great satisfaction I would be one of the 6 who competed in the finalist round. What was going on here though was that I was going against the infamous Ryan Collette, Sandy Macey's bagger. Their crowned jewel. The six finalists had bagged. Now they were just burning time. Finally the announced the top three, but of course they couldn't let you know in what order. I was one of the top three. I was up there with Ryan and a bagger from Harmons. Harmons was 3rd, then they announced 2nd place and it was . . . . . Ryan. Yep, that is right. Yesterday I was crowned the best bagger in the State of Utah, and oh baby I'm going to Vegas!!!!!! Now I compete in the National competition, and when I win that, I get $10,000. There is my mission money. It's all proof that miracles do happen, prayers are answered, and yes, God doest exist.
