CWK: Strange Encounters in Mormonland

[Kishkumen]

Enjoyed this episode, Kish.

It is indeed a small world. I’m not sure I want to disclose the details of what led to this, but I was once called and the caller asked for Winston Blackmore. My heart sunk as I snapped close my little silver flip phone. I was thinking, oh crap, what have I done. I learned later that it was a result of mistaken transposition of numbers in an area code. How many non-Mormons do you know who have been called asking for a polygamous group leader? I’m still waiting to learn why the Lord has brought a direct descendant of an early church leader into my life, coupled with people I’ve met here. I believe He certainly orchestrates our lives to accomplish His purpose. Maybe one day we will know the purpose of these strange encounters of the Mormon kind.

That is amazing, msnobody! There was a Sister Blackmore in my mission. I wonder whether she is Winston's relative. It is very unusual how you have been drawn into the Mormon orbit. Odd coincidences that may be divinely ordained!

I ponder and marvel at that quite often myself. I sure hope so. I’ve been blown away a few times with regard to the people He has brought into my life, and how various things have come together. Not something I would have chosen for myself, but I wouldn’t trade the experiences I’ve had thus far, and look forward to what is ahead.
