I think heavenly father was protecting you. Given what those two missionaries did to escape, you most likely wouldn't have survived.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostKSL mentioned that the kidnappers were posing as investigators and that the missionaries were there under the pretext of teaching them a discussion. In the current day interviews, one of the elders claimed that he "wouldn't change a thing" and that the kidnapping has made him who he is today.

Originally posted by SoonerCoug View PostYes I have. I went last year. The first chapel in the city was built in my area--immediately next to my old apartment. I returned to that place and took some really great photos of some kids smoking on the chapel steps.
