A mission miracle happened this past Monday. The Friday before, Scott showed our last used mission car to a family in our ward. They loved it and were very interested in buying it. They were just headed North for Thanksgiving and needed to work their finances so they would get back with us in a couple of days.
All weekend we received phone calls on the car and had to turn people down. Monday morning rolled around and it was plenty busy in the office. We never heard back from the interested family, but didn’t think much about it.
President Jensen came into the office Monday afternoon and broke the news about an accident that had just happened that morning. A missionary in Kentucky was hit by a car while riding his bicycle and broke his leg, in two places! It was quite the story.
As President Jensen was leaving the office he turned around and asked if we had any available mission cars not in use because the injured missionary and his companion would need a car now to proselyte in. Aaaa, Heavenly Father was watching out for the missionaries and for us too.
If we had sold the car we would not have had a vehicle available when we needed one and perhaps the missionary would have to go home to get better. What a blessing that he is alive and he can still stay and do missionary work.
WAIT the miracle isn’t over yet! The man that hit the missionary has visited the missionary several times in the hospital. He lives in the same area as the missionaries and has invited them to come to his home.
Can’t you just see it years from now. The man becomes a general authority and tells about his conversion: “When I ran into the missionaries it felt just like a huge jolt. I didn’t see them coming!” What a great story to tell!
Our missionary had a pin put in his leg and he got out of the hospital two days after surgery. He is doing well and super excited to teach the man that hit him. Don’t you just love the fire and drive of a missionary! What some missionaries will do to teach!!
Love,
Mom
