The Miracle of the Toilet

  Elder Schaff had forgotten to share a story from his companion, Elder Noyes, who is over the car fleet for the mission. I can't imagine two sister missionaries stopping to put a toilet in their trunk, but it's a good thing that they did! Read on and you will see why.

  "I stole this small narrative from Elder Noyes. This happened 2 Saturdays ago (December 9th), but I forgot to get it last week. A funny story and a miracle?  

"So, last Saturday some Sister Missionaries got in a wreck...a pretty bad one, they got sandwiched between two cars because someone hit them from behind going like 40. They were okay, no serious injuries, just some whiplash.

  But on Monday I go to the junkyard to look at the car, after a long experience where I had to go get the Registration from the sisters because they wouldn't let me look at the car without it. And the car is wrecked...trunk completely smashed shut. Front-end crushed...airbags went off. It was bad. So we salvage several things from the wreckage and then we decided to pull the back seats down to look in the trunk, and as soon as we pull the seats down there it is....an undamagedimmaculately cleansparkling white toilet. I didn't know how to react to this...you could take the toilet out of the trunk and put it in the house no problem (If it wasn't stuck in the trunk.), so I report this to the office staff and we're all rolling laughing about it...so much so that when the Sisters who got in the accident came to the office that day, I had to gather everyone around them to hear the story...we had to know why a toilet was in their trunk. Apparently they were driving that day down the road, and a toilet was right in the middle of the road, and they put it in the trunk and wanted to play a prank on the Elders in their ward by putting it in their apartment when they weren't home, but then a few hours later were involved in a serious accident.

  The damage on the trunk interestingly enough stopped where the toilet began...I think that toilet may have saved them from more serious injury. The Lord works in mysterious ways I tell you."


With Love,

Elder Schaff
