Bini Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 I would say God bless this missionary and his family, but it's apparent that God has already done that and continues to do so. What a scary experience. Wishing him a well recovery. Quote
dahlia Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 How dreadful! I am always telling my elders to be careful. Between the invincibility of youth and an unawareness of the world's dangers, they don't always see trouble ahead. It is a blessing that the surgeon was there, though. Even when we get ourselves into a mess, Heavenly Father can offer a way out. Quote
Guest Sachi001 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Prayer is done! I have to say though. As weird does it get a lion in Guatemala in a land not known for lions! Quote
ADoyle90815 Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 · Hidden Hidden Prayer done, but I still think that God should have told him that the wall was there for a very good reason, and that maybe he shouldn't climb it.
dahlia Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 I went back and read the comments - there are some heartless people out there. Someone even suggested that the elder be returned dishonorably. Really? For doing something stupid? Young guys will be young guys. Too bad the internet allows every idiot to say ignorant and mean things about people they don't even know. And if I read another 'Ugly American' comment, I'm going to scream. Quote
Backroads Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 I heard about it yesterday, and it terrifies me! The radio was saying they don't know if he'll ever get back full use of his arm. Quote
