Tonight we had an " All Call" for all the missionaries. All Call is used when all missionaries need to be contacted. Tonight, we were called to search for 2 lost girls, Abby and Lizzy. Ages 14 and 4. They had been missing for about an hour, they left when the sun was still up and it was warm. By the time we got the call, the sun had gone down and it was getting cold.
As the missionaries gathered at the command post, we were given areas to search. Trails to walk with our flashlights, calling for Abby and Lizzy.
As I saw all the missionaries gather, my grandmothers heart was so grateful. The parents were frantic, the Dad had already started searching. So we all set out to search.
It did not take loing before we got the call that they had been found. As the family was told we heard a cheer go up. I know many prayers of gratitude went up, for a loving Heavenly Father who know where these girls were, even when the rest of us did not.
I was grateful to be part of a missionary team, that no matter how tired after a long day, we all got up and went searching. I know if that would have been 2 of my grandchildren. I would have been overwhelming grateful as I watched all those missionaries answer the call to come and start searching.
So grateful tonight to be a missionary and know that the Lord knows where each of His children are, no matter how young or old, and that He helps us find all His lost sheep.
