Once upon a time there was a sister missionary who was prone to over-packing. She was very nervous because when she flew to the MTC her
two suitcases weighed 49 lbs and 47 lbs. The day before she had tossed
everything she had in the MTC into her suitcases to test the weight.
They weighed 47.5 and 48 lbs. As she added books and notebooks and all
kinds of random things acquired in the MTC she shuddered in fear because
she weighed her bag of new things and it was 13 whole pounds! Way too
much for a flight too Brazil. But she loaded with faith and prayed hard.
When she finished she rolled her suitcases down the hall and hung them
on the scale. She could not believe her eyes! One suitcase was 44.5 lbs.
The other was 47. "HOW COULD THIS BE?" She thought to herself. She had
not rid herself of anything that she brought. In fact....she had added
many heavy books including the Biblia Sagrada! :O It was simply
impossible. There was no way that without taking anything out from the
first flight and adding a whole bunch more....her suitcases could weigh
many pounds less. She weighed them twice. Then found a different scale
and weighed them again. Same results. Impossible. She fell to her knees
and thanked the Lord for this answered prayer. The laws of physics were
defied and the suitcases were well under the 50 lbs weight limit.
Miracles happen. Of this she is sure.
And so....she is packed. She will be on her way to Brazil in less than 24 hours.
Love you all. :)
