Close Encounters

Wow.  We came within inches of having a serious accident.  We were in Spanish Town.  The roads are narrow with very few traffic signs.  The roads downtown are crowded with people, animals, cars, pot holes, and lots of other dangers.  Mike was going very slowly through and intersection and a lady in a big bus just barreled through.  Mike almost hit her.  We were very grateful that everyone was ok.  We had a very good day visiting and inviting people back to church after that.  I feel we were protected and guided once again.
On one of our visits we met a little girl (three years old) named Dana.   She was wild and independent and smart.  She kept holding her nose, looking at me, and saying what I thought was, “stink, stink, stink.”  I asked her mom what she was saying and she said she was so shocked to see my nose was “pink.”  This was way deep in an area where the little children do not see many white people.  She thought my nose was so funny because it was pink and it was pointed.  “Out of the mouth of babes.”
A Young Women Presidency Meeting.  I told them I had to take a picture because what they were doing was so important!
