While we were waiting for our boat to leave...

I met this women and her son (the one in the green stripped shirt). They were on their way to Manila to sell their lanterns that they make.
She is holding the lanterns. They both have wicks and the jars can be filled with kerosene. One can hang and the other just sits. They had a request to make four hundred of these lanterns. They are all hand made from recycled materials. They are in demand because not many people have electricity. These are a step up from candles.
Anyway, as we talked I invited here to listen to the missionaries. She lives in Santa Cruz village on Marindukie right next to the church. I gave her a picture of Elder Ganir and me. We were then going to give the referral to the missionaries working in that area with this picture of them. I met them on Sunday and on Tuesday, the missionaries were tracking and they found this family and the young man got out the picture I gave him. The missionaries text us and said thanks for planting the seed.
So, waiting for the boat was necessary for us to meet these people. Heavenly Father knows all.
