A Miracle In One of The World's Busiest Airports

with Elder Gautavai's companion and fellow Assistant Elder Perez

MTC companion Elder Pryor

The Gautavai's received a divinely sent care package delivered in one of the worlds busiest airports. Elder Rylee Gautavai spent Tuesday, February 18th traveling to Montreal, Canada leaving Salt Lake City, Utah very early and connecting through Atlanta's Jackson Hartsfield International airport. Elder Gautavai was scheduled to have a 1 hour and 8 min connection to Montreal, Quebec not leaving him much time to navigate through the large airport to catch his next flight. Much to his surprise waiting at his arriving gate was none other than his older brother, Elder Camree Gautavai of the Georgia Atlanta mission who he has not seen for close to 21 months. Through Heavenly help, and the efforts of the GAM mission leaders, President John and Sister Deborah Harding, and Bishop Kennedy of the White Water ward the missionary brothers were able to enjoy a brief but much needed reunion at the airport concourse. Alma counseled his people in the Book of Mormon to always remember the goodness of God in their lives to help them retain the mighty change of Heart. Yesterday's meeting of the Gautavai brothers while both under-active call from a prophet of God helps us/them to remember God's tender mercies and goodness in our lives.

Just a few of the mighty army of the Lord.

Big thanks goes to President and Sister Harding for putting this reunion together. Another big thanks must go to Bishop Kennedy in helping us reunite at the airport and escort Elder Rylee Gautavai and the Montreal missionaries to their flight headed to Montreal! The Lord's hand could not have been more evident than it was with this meeting. We surprised Elder Rylee Gautavai at his gate after his flight landed in the ATL. After surprising him there we walked with him to his connecting flight to Montreal, had a brief conversation and watched him through the gate.

Hurrah for Israel!

Love, Elder Camree Gautavai

It isn't very cold but there is a ton of snow. French everywhere haha. Its for sure different but I am so excited and happy to be here! It was amazing to see Cam today what a nice surprise literally just dropped my bags and ran haha so cool to see him!

I hope you all are doing good. Know that I am doing good and happy here in Montreal!

Avec tout mon amour!

Love Elder Gautavai!

We were first notified by a complete stranger as we received a text message from a passenger on the Salt Lake-ATL flight witnessed the emotional reunion and thought to take a picture and send the picture of the elders on to us at home. Here is his take on the meeting:
