They say he first approached the missionary school around midnight asking for a place to stay for the night - according to about 30 witnesses from the Mission. There was snow on the ground, so I'm assuming it was because he was cold.
I find it strange that missionaries in training either weren't allowed or couldn't find it in their hearts to provide this young man with shelter from the cold. Isn't that what they are supposed to be doing - showing God's love and helping people in need?
It would be interesting to hear the explanation they gave to him for turning him away, as well as the level of respect they showed this stranger. Were they kind to him in their refusal, or were they fearful and angry at having their Christmas party interrupted?
I'd also like to know how many times this young man had been turned away in his life by people who are supposed to care - or claimed to care?
Yes, I'll pray for him - along with the young man from Nebraska.
