Promptings

Last night one of Darryl's co-workers posted on his Facebook that they were needing volunteers to come and help look for his wife's Grandfather.  He had gone for a walk on Wednesday and never returned.  He is 80 and has dementia.  Darryl felt really strongly that he should go but he was suppose to teach the lesson in Sunday School so he just blew it off.  When he woke up this morning he just really felt like he needed to go.  So he geared up, made arrangements for someone else to teach, and off he went to Salt Lake to join the searching crews.  He was hoping to look in the canyon that they thought he may have hiked into but they only let the Search and Rescue Teams up there.  Darryl was put in a group of people that went door to door asking and looking for the guy.  They didn't find him today but Darryl really feels like there was a reason for him going.  Maybe it was for the family, or maybe it was because of the people he met, there was a reason and I'm glad he followed the prompting.
Side Note:  They did end up finding him a week after he'd gone missing.  He was in canyon adjacent to the one they had been searching.  Unfortunately he didn't survive the ordeal but they didn't say how they suspect he died.
