This is what 10:30 looks like, escalators , always keeps the boys happy!
Missionaries are in bed at 10- maybe 10:30 so we are way tired!
We are ready to take off, the train is coming. We had not made any missionary contacts the whole trip and at this point we met a couple who also were flying on Ryan Air to Crotone and had to take the train. They spoke the Kings English and were from the Middle East. We talked about our group and who God is, they have had the missionaries in their home twice. We have heard it over and over , God is in everything and no one person, and there is no satan or hell.We just need to be good, and take care of each other. That makes things easy, no accountability for our actions. He told me they see so much bad in the name of God, his god is best. We are not here to just be good, we are here to grow, to experience and change who we are, to who we can become. The train came in the middle of our discussion. They were on the first car and that was way down the plank--- way down-- we were on car 2 which means that there could be several cars all # 2. They ran in the opposite direction, We tried to call to them, Anziano Nessen run up to them and yelled the right direction, the train is so loud! He picked up their suit case and run, It is a good thing Sorella Mcfarland noticed his bag, she got it and all got on safe. Thank heavens Sorella Arnold knows how the trains work and where to go! She got us in the right place and headed in the right direction. We got them in the right place and counted up the suitcases and found our cabins, 2 cabins 6 persons per cabin.
Notice the shelf above brother B's head there are 2 shelves one for luggage and one for small items, his suit coat is above his head.
This is the hall down to the cabins. At 4 am we got a shock, you really can't sleep on the train, but dosing off . We were dosing and Sorella Mc Farland stood up and woke us and asked if anything was missing. Carl's suit coat! We looked around walked down the hall and surprise there it was above a cabin door. Some police came through and must have scared the intruder. Sorella McFarland saw a arm come through the door and try to get her bag she stood and was seeing if anything was missing when the police walked by. That prayer of protection from President Waddoups worked! Both phones were in Brother's b coat along with some important paper work.
This is 5:50 we have 2 more hours to drive, Do these sister ever look bad?
Our taxi ride to Crotone, it holds 9 and we dropped 4 off in one of the cities on our way , this is safe ride, the driver is a member!
The miracle suit coat! Lost but then found!
Mail does get through, A letter from the Singles ward and a letter from Christina! It was so wonderful to get mail.Thanks Thanks Thanks. We got a call yesterday and we need to drive up to a city in the zone to do some interviews for baptism today, 4 hours up . This will be a first for Brother b. This is part of the growing experience!
