Canadian Thanksgiving day. We went to Thanksgiving dinner at a member's house, sister Head. She is in a motorized wheelchair. She feeds the missionaries every year. We picked up the Boehmers and found the apartment. Two of our AP's and 2 ladies from the building also came to dinner. Sister Head had cooked a macaroni dish, coleslaw, turkey breast, and I had brought 2 salads, so we had plenty to eat. It was humbling to watch these wonderful strong women as they live in wheelchairs. I found myself very grateful for the strength of my legs, for my beautiful home, for my family, for my life. I admire Sister Head so very much, she has survived unbelievable odds.
What an incredibly touching story. I love the connection you had with this special woman. I feel like a part of her heart must have been healed. We would love yo mail her pictures and things if you have her address.
