Tender Mercy Story
Do I look a little frazzled. I am very frazzled. I have lost my carry on bag with my whole life in it.
When I boarded the plane in San Diego I had Elder Smith put my baggage next to their's. They were closer to the front of the plane and I was in the back. I asked him if he would take it down and put it on the seat and then as walked by I would pick it up. I saw him stand but when I looked again they were gone. When I got to his seat there was no suitcase to pick up. I thought darn him with all his and Sister Smith's luggage they shouldn't have taken mine. When I got inside the airport I couldn't see them anywhere so I proceeded to baggage claim where we were to meet. When I got there I cussed him for taking my bag. He said he hadn't taken my bag with him. I told him to quit teasing me because I knew he had it. He did not have it. AGHHHHHH! My whole trip was in that bag. (Well, almost). I just panicked!
About this time Sister Coleman showed up and put the beautiful lei around my neck. It was gorgeous. I was still frazzled about the bag. Brother Coleman showed up about then and we went on a hunt for my bag. He started making calls and of course he got the run around and the numbers he was told to call didn't answer. Sister Coleman finally found a beautiful Hawaiian girl by the baggage claim and she called and found my bag. Some do-gooder had taken my bag and given it to the flight attendant or something like that. (Didn't hear the full story of that). Anyway with the "Lord's help" and Elder and Sister Coleman's, and the beautiful young woman at the bag claim, I was reunited with my bag and life is all well. We proceeded on the journey and I am now in my new home in Hawaii.
The other two couples also had tender mercy stories but we all made it. I am so thankful.
