The donkey-induced damage to my Fiatt. It was a dark and stormy night. I was returning home from a deacon’s meeting, where we discussed the exciting prospects of our congregation and made specific plans for the future.

It’s rainy season here in Sao Luis, and last night it “rainy seasoned” from dusk til dawn. When we arrived at the facilities we use for our services, this sight greeted our eyes. Water and sand, everywhere. The front of the building–right by the doorway–was also packed high with wet sand. So, while some of…
