Miracles never cease

We have seen many miracles in the time that we have been here and here is on that we will remember. Uganda is a country were things belong to everyone and stealing things is very prevalent. The first month we were here we had a gardener but decided that we would hire a young man in our ward that was preparing for a mission. So we let the other gardener go. The first day Andrew worked for us Tim sent him down to get some supplies( hose Rake ect) He put in the shed when he was done. In the morning they were gone we thought someone had stolen them, but the next day they were back the old gardener had just borrowed them without asking. Things disappear and it is not uncommon to never found. Alot of times they will find something and think that is gift from God. Even at church things are taken such as scriptures and cell phones. A sweet Couple missionary sister gave a talk about the Lost and Found which is a novel idea for them. She encouraged them to start a lost and found in their own wards. Well the day before Eric left we had all gone down to play tennis and basketball together. We had a big bag full of tennis rackets and balls and water. Hannah wanted to come home so some of us came home and left the others to finish. Tim just happen need to copy some things and so he took the bag to a copy center here on campus asked if they would keep it while he ran some papers somewhere. He forgot and we thought the bag had been stolen. We also thought our video camera had be stolen because we could not remember where we had it. Well Tim went back to the copy place to copy things and the people asked when he was going to pick up his bag. He had forgotten he had even left it there and as we looked through it the video camera was there with everything else. It is a miracle and as we told the adult fellowship about it they all laughed and said Tim we hope that you lose at least one thing to theft before you leave or else your African experience is not complete.
