What Would You Do?

I pulled up this phone message last night, and I thought I would share it with you because this is the reality of my missionary families life.
After being there it is easy for me to understand, but without being there it sounds absolutely CRAZY....

Erik's voice: Question of the day.
Would you buy a 50lb. bag of flour made in China covered with rat poop and pee for $25?

He paused to give me time to think about it.
No I thought I wouldn't but you probably would.
Lord, please give him wisdom and protect my family I prayed.

He continued:
Well I did.....

The next message I pulled up: Erik again...

Don't worry, I fished to the bottom and found a sack that had no poop on it and didn't smell like pee.

Thank you Lord, for the bargain and the wisdom... I prayed with a chuckle :)

Yeah,
I would struggle as missionary. This story is one of the reasons.

Thanks for sharing.
