This week’s edition gets addressed to you. I received your multi-page, handwritten letter; thank you. I was also happy to hear, as of whatever date you penned my letter, that I was #1 in the category of letters received. It makes me wonder what in the world your family is doing wrong? Every week your mother’s blog is replete with letters from both her and your father, and yet you don’t seem to be getting them. In any event, permit me to indulge in my current letter writing pole position by displaying a large Uncle Aaron smile towards your father. Mind you, I’m not saying any words. I’m just smiling at him. (After a few uncomfortable seconds of receiving my smile, can you hear your father responding with the words, “That’s good, Aaron; that’s good.”? I can.)
Thank you for also sharing with me a story that you haven’t shared with anyone else. I would say nothing more on the subject and just let your parents suffer in the agony of the unknown, but since I know that they presently live for any iota of information regarding you, and since your story is faith promoting, worthy of further speculation and mysterious, I feel a sense of duty to promulgate the good word. However, since this is my letter and not yours, I’m going to give them the Reader’s Digest version so that I don’t lose any more of my already precious page space than necessary.
Getting to the MTC in Brazil, Elder Schenewark flew from Boston to Detroit and had a 1.5 hour layover until his next flight to Dallas. In Detroit, he had to switch airlines. When he asked a help desk where to go for American Airlines, he was told to follow the “tram” signs. He did, but arriving at the trams realized he didn’t know which tram to take in which direction. Apparently taking his best guess, he was about to step on a tram when he was tapped on the shoulder by a pilot who asked him which airline he was searching. He responded, and the pilot instructed Elder Schenewark to follow him. The two took some “tricky turns,” walked through two unmarked doorways, through a hotel and finally exited the terminal. Detroit has two terminals and American flew out of the other one. The pilot directed Elder Schenewark to the shuttle stand where he took a 10 minute shuttle to the other terminal.
That’s the story. It’s faith promoting, because Elder Schenewark knows that the stranger in a pilot’s uniform was sent from God to help him.
