I don't know if you can print out stories to read later but that
would be nice cuz I could send you a ton. I love that you posted The
Race!
Here is one I condensed it is one that is floating
around now from Elder Strong in Ghana. He thot the first 3mos were an
adventure, getting water, making his own food, etc. Then reality started
to set in and he could not believe he was teaching right on the street
sitting on the ground across from a sewer. He was actually really
struggling with it and asking if this is how the Lord wanted him to
spend his time. One day was particularly bad and he was thinking of
calling it quits. About that time, he saw a Utah Jazz jersey on a boy
walking up to him. He asked if he could see it. He was so excited to see
something familiar, something from America. Upon closer inspection the
jersey was for junior jazz team that he was apart of growing up. This
one had his same number "0". It could not be but he turned it inside out
just to see, and there was his name scribbled when he was 10yrs old.
His mom gave to goodwill years before but here it was right now in
Africa, right before his eyes! How could it be? The odds were
astronomical! Yet for this Elder, he knew that it was a message from God
directly to him that he was exactly where he needed to be and the Lord
knew the needs of his heart.
I love this true story!
I love you Rachel and I know the Lord will see to the needs and inmost desires of your heart. He lives today. He loves us!
So super stoked and excited to be able to talk to you in a week!!
I hope you saw the time best for Dan is after 4.
XOxo,ma
