Miracle #2

The elders had left our apartment and were walking to a nearby store that sells some American food.  The streets in Surabaya are so congested...traffic comprised of thousands of motorcycles and hundreds of cars...and no traffic rules for staying in lanes or passing other vehicles!  While the elders were crossing in a crosswalk to get to the store, a motorcycle sped around a stopped car and hit Elder Kester who was in the crosswalk.  The man flew off the motorcycle and his head and helmet hit Elder Kesters head.  The motorcycle skidded down the street as did the driver.  And Elder Kester just stood there!  The other elders described the scene saying it looked like the motorcycle hit a brick wall!  Elder Kester had a small red mark on his temple where the man had hit into him but no other marks or injuries...just remained standing!  The man on the motorcycle got up and yelled at the elders for crossing the street!  Go figure :). Just before they left the apartment Elder Anderson had been voice for prayer and had asked The Lord for protection for these elders.  We know our prayers are answered!
