Miracle Man Boots

Two days prior to the biggest tornado in US history, I received a letter from my lovely Aunt Karen. Scrawled at the end of the letter was a note and a one hundred dollar bill. "Can't shake the feeling that you might need this. Not sure why." I felt guilty and grateful, and tried to think of something worthwhile that I might need the money for. Nothing came to mind. A missionary's budget is small, but I had everything that I needed.

Fast-forward three days. An urgent text from President arrived, advising all missionaries to buy thick-soled boots and leather gloves as soon as possible. Staring at the confusion of yellow man boots, inspiration hit. How much is one pair of Bob the Builder Boots? $48. and how many missionaries are in the companionship? Two! Da-dada! $100 for beautiful boots for my companion and me.

Thank you, Aunt Karen, for facilitating a miracle this week. Your inspired bill is now tromping through sludgy mud piles and torn up homes, protecting the feet of happy, hard-working missionaries from mails and sewage. Bless you!  :)
