Pastor Danson (Week 85)

This week was wild!! We saw many cool things that could only have come from God, and as well it was just crazy busy. Good stuff!

Probably the coolest thing that happened this past week was on Sunday the 6th. But this really cool thing started even earlier in the week. Probably the Tuesday or Wednesday before the 6th we were driving somewhere. Elder Costello got a phone call from someone out of the blue. The person on the other end of the phone told us that his name was Pastor Danson. He said he lives in Kenya and that he saw our Facebook page and wanted us to share a message with his kids. We agreed to meet on Sunday over zoom.

Sunday rolled around and we got ready for a zoom meeting with Pastor Danson and his family. He gets on the zoom call and says hello to us and then here are my kids. He flips his camera around and there stood about 40-50 "kids". Turns out Pastor Danson takes care of all these kids who don't have a home in Kenya. He gathered them at the front of the room and they sang a couple of songs for us. Then he gave us the time to share a message. We read John 13:34-35 and talked about how we can love those around us. As we spoke, we would pause often and Pastor Danson would translate for the kids. It was such a cool experience and something I will not soon forget. I am very grateful to Heavenly Father for experiences like these, and many other experiences that are for our good.
