This may not sound like a miracle, but we are still shaking our heads in disbelief. We went into a bookstore this afternoon to look for "Why the Chimes Rang". We couldn't find it, of course, but while we were there we were laughing about finding pictures with small detail to use at the reading glass project we are having on Saturday morning. Several people cannot read and it will be difficult to help them find a power for glasses without some other clue. We said to ourselves, "Remember the WHERE'S WALDO" books Grandma Taylor used to have? We thought that book, with all its small detail, would be perfect.. Just then, I walked over to a children's section to look at their selection and the first book I put my hand on was a "WHERE'S WALDO". Wow!
This was in a fairly large store and this was quite amazing to us. It was sort of finding the needle in the haystack by sitting on it.
We had a pretty big earthquake today and we didn't even feel it. We were on the highway at the time, and driving in Guatemala is an "earthquake" in itself so we missed feeling this one.
Dad has his CCM lecture tomorrow and which is now #2 on our "scary" list. Zone Conferences are #1. Dad has worked so hard on these conferences. We are depending on Julie Hewlett's "chink theory" which is "that when we have worked as hard as we can, God will fill in the chinks". It is daunting to give a health lecture that is so needed to 70 -80 eager, brand-new missionaries and maintain that wonderful Spirit that has carried them through the first few days in the mission home. Dad is really trying and has grown so very much.
Little things like finding 9 jump-ropes for the missionaries to use in the CCM has made it a perfect day.
