The lawnmower miracle

Today, we had several meetings scheduled for tonight, but our main goal was to check out the church's lawnmower and figure out where to take it to get repaired.  We also needed to get the trash at the church divided up properly to get it recycled and cleaned out of the kitchen at the church.  At the beginning of our walk, we let the repair guys into the church.  They have a punch list of about 70 items, and so they came all last week and will be there all this week too doing little repairs and getting the church in better shape.We have to open up the church and let them in each morning.  The lawn mower looked in bad shape and so we left it and continued on our walk.  We stopped at the gas station, to ask the guy who owns it, if he knew where to get lawnmowers fixed.  He showed us a possible place on google maps and we were happy to have an address.  As we were looking on his computer at the google map, a customer comes in the station and says, "I understand you are Americans.  I speak English and I know where you can get your lawn mower fixed. " His son also came in with him.  They both spoke very good English.  We talked for a while about who would take the lawnmower where.  Then he asked why we were in Battipalgia.  I said that we were missionaries, and he quickly said, "not for the Mormon church are you"?  I said yes we were and his son said they knew all about the Mormon church.  They had been there many times.  Then the father said, "haven't you heard of me? ".  We said no we hadn't.  And we asked him his name.  He told us and we laughed and said that we had heard about him, just last night.  The missionaries said that he use to always help them get the lawnmower fixed, but they hadn't seen him come to church lately.
What are the chances that when we are looking for a place to take the lawnmower that the very man who knows, comes into the gas station, at the very minute we are there asking for help.  We all knew it was a tender mercy from God, even though it was just about a lawnmower.
We got directions to his house and we took th lawnmower over there this afternoon.  We had a pleasant visit with his wife and son.  His wife is from Wales and that's why they all speak English so well.  The man would like to get baptized but does not want to give up smoking and drinking.  He knows the church is true and so does his son.  They really  like the church.  They have entertained missionaries at their house for years and years.
Paul is at the church now, meeting with the past branch president about his new calling.  I will head over there by 7 for English class tonight.  The day has gone fast today.  I did get one large bag of trash all separated from th church and I guess I will put it up with my trash tomorrow.  We have to put it a different kind of recycle trash each night.  It's really a pain, but not too bad.
Our hot water heater keeps needing to be reset.  It is one that is a on demand type.  It's fuse keeps switching off so we have to go outside and hit the switch by sticking a matchstick in the hole and it finally hits the switch that needs to be pressed in.  I am thinking that we need a new switch.  We will see.
I am happy that it has been sunny and a little warmer.  My living room is bright and light now that I moved out all the huge plants that filled up the glass doorways out to the porch.  Here is a picture of our living room now.
