I just have to post about this right quick.
We had Ward Home Evening tonight, rather than Family Home Evening. The activity was Capture the Flag. It started with little unity and participation. After about half an hour of organizing and starting to play, two guys on my opposing team were going for the jail in which their friend was in to rescue him. These two boys collided and, right in front of me, one of them somehow broke his toe. Like, bone-popping-out toe-point-at-a-180-degree-line-vertically broke. It was gruesome.
Damage control was taken immediately. About five people rushed to the nearest campus emergency call box and phoned the campus police. While being put on hold (??) and waiting for the police to get there, the ward united. The guys gave the injured guy a blessing and we all joined in support of worry and prayer for our brother. After he was taken away by the police and then the paramedics, we all knelt in the middle of campus and said a ward prayer together.
It was an incredible experience brought about by something as seemingly small as a broken toe. It was incredible. The Spirit was felt by such a small event that we all shared together. We all united as sons and daughters of God and brothers and sisters in Christ.
(I'll post a picture of this gore later.)
