The Lord loves and protects His missionaries

Last night we had two of the elders over to have dinner with us (a different companionship each week).  While we were visiting after dinner Elder Mendrofa shared an experience he had last week.  With his permission I'd like to share it...

The elders were on their bikes and were crossing a busy street at a crosswalk.  It happened to be one of the few crosswalks in the city that actually has blinking lights and emits a beeping sound.  As Elder Mendrofa entered the crosswalk and got about halfway across, a car came speeding towards him and did not appear to be slowing down.  His companion Elder Hall was just preparing to enter the crosswalk and saw the car heading straight into Elder Mendrofa.  As Elder Mendrofa reported, he clearly heard a voice say 'dorong' (push) and literally felt himself on his bike  pushed laterally....not forward, but sideways!  The car slammed on its brakes and came to a stop right where Elder Mendroza had been on his bike!  Elder Hall watched in awe as the bike and rider were miraculously moved from their original spot!  He could not fathom how they had moved sideways...but both elders knew they had just witnessed a miracle!  

We are so blessed to serve with these faithful young men!
