Lately I have noticed an increase in angels--around me, in news, at work. The above angel is Moroni atop the new Gilbert Arizona temple soon to be dedicated. One quite like him sits atop our Santo Domingo temple and we can see him through the trees, especially when lit at night. We don't worship him, but we honor him as the one who brought the gold plates to Joseph Smith that became the Book of Mormon. So that is one angel.
We have a young missionary serving here whose name is Elder Angel and he speaks both Spanish and English, so he is sometimes like an angel for helping me.
In the last couple of weeks at work I have noticed that witnesses on documents (testigos) have often been named "Angel" and I thought our work was being helped by angels.
The last two weeks we have started working an evening shift at the temple. There have been "angels" there to guide me as I started learning. I have been nervous, but they have helped. I have wondered if it has been because we were doing this that in the last two weeks we have also captured the most images in a week--more than 10,000 each week--that we have our whole time here. Surely didn't think we would ever get that many, but there they were!! Maybe some other angels were helping us!
One more example--our little grandson doesn't enjoy the nursery at Church. He cries. His mom is the Primary President and has to be there and not in the nursery with him. When his dad has to work at the hospital during that time, she has had to take him with her and have a counselor hold him (often screaming in the hall) while she did her part. Then one Sunday an angel appeared in the form of a wonderful, gentle, compassionate friend and offered to take him to the nursery and stay with him. She has always been the one we said woke up in the morning wondering how she could help someone that day. She appeared with the same offer the next Sunday and as I read about it from our daughter-in-law, tears flowed. A tender mercy had been granted by our Heavenly Father to help the Primary President fulfill her responsibility and the child to be blessed with love.
