10 Dice

STORY  The New Family (a Dad. Mom and a Son age 7)  We Met them at the Mall   (May 16, 2016) This is a wonderful story. We went to the mall to find some DICE so we could play Yatzee with some of our investigators families and we needed to buy five dice. We asked and asked and were set to several different stores. At last we were to finally ready to give up. Then I told George as we were walking  to ask the lady clerk at the shop we were passing by, but instead he talked to a man who was walking close by. This man, his wife and child were very accommodating, and determined to help us find the dice. We walked, and walked and walked with no success, and finally even ended up at TOTUS another big grocery and miscellaneous store. Again no luck. We finally gave up, but the man said, No, I know where we can find you some dice and we will  drive to another place in Antofagasta  and buy them for you and bring them to your apartment. We told him to buy 10.  We parted. We went on home, and our friend Jose came for supper.  The phone ran and it was the man, his wife, and son. They had finally found the dice and wanted to bring them to our home. It was now 7 PM.  We had left them at 3:45 PM. We were shocked at the help the had given to us, total strangers. They drove to our building and took the elevator to our floor and rang the buzzer. We welcomed them in and Jose who was at our home at the time they arrived, translated for us as we still do not speak really fluent Spanish. They are now coming to dinner in 2 weeks on Monday evening. The 10 dice were beautiful! We were utterly shocked and to TOP it off they would NOT let us pay for the dice!

Love Mom and Dad
