Three weeks from now we will be entering the MTC. All the work, the preparation will be done and we will have been set apart. I will be realizing my dream of over forty years ago. One of my sons in law said he is most excited for us to be in the MTC for it is such a great experience there. When I went a million years ago, it was called the LTM, or Language Training Mission. I can still "see" it in my mind, our room, the cafeteria, the devotional room, etc. It was truly a great place.
Miracles continue to happen. We were in Park City Saturday looking for luggage. We had been to Burlington and seeking luggage. We need big ones to put all things within it. (It will probably weigh more than Bonnie.) We found a few that would cost us about $100. We were sort of shocked. Then in PC last Saturday, we went to Samsonite and found one for $250. (If we were shocked before, we were totally bamboozled with that price.) Thus we put it all on the back burner. Don't we often just ignore uncomfortable things and hope they go away.
Well yesterday at church, I was talking with a dear friend who I home teach and telling her of our weekend, even the part at Samsonite. She said, "Don't do that. Come and borrow our huge luggage." Bonnie went over home teaching with me, we measured her luggage and we may have just saved us a grundle of money. She used them when they went to India a few years ago. They are about the right size and so we may have just experienced another miracle.
Another miracle. I was at WalMart purchasing a lock for our new storage unit. The old gentleman there asked what I needed the lock for. I explained and he immediately asked if he could help us move. He as a large truck, a flat bed, etc. So I am checking that out, and I am planning on having my sons meet and help me move the large things to our storage unit tomorrow. Again, saving us a grundle of money. We were going to rent a U Haul.
It is so wonderful to recognize the ways things happen, and "see" the Hands of the Lord in our preparation. He is truly aware of our mission and is directing many things to help us get out there. If we could remember that at all times, then we would not be so shocked and amazed the way things turn out.
