Elder Anthony Robert Zonts had quite the adventure yesterday, He left the MTC at 3:30 am, flew out of SLC with a group of 26 Elders and Sisters, landed in Detroit, the plane had trouble, so they were all separated, he ended up going to NY by himself, They then told him his next flight was delayed due to weather, Because of the whole mess with his wallet being stolen, and his driver’s license not coming from OK in time, He didn't want to go through security again, and take the chances of getting stuck in NY, he had to "sleep" in the airport.

 He's had several tender mercies so far, First he has very little cash, and his calling card only has enough to use for a couple of calls, so his first tender mercy was a gentleman offered him his phone to use, He is not a member but recognized him as an Elder because he works with a member that has sent his sons on missions. So he was able to call us to tell us what was happening. Second tender mercy, after hours of not being able to sleep, a gentlemen gave him a blanket, he was then able to sleep for about an hour and a half, third tender mercy, around 3am the spirit told him he was in the wrong terminal, he jumped up, barely caught the shuttle over to the other building and climbed right on the plane (earlier than he thought he was flying)

Fourth tender mercy they upgraded him to first class, they fed him a really nice breakfast and he was able to sleep for a half hour, but this time sound sleep. He is now in Atlanta, and is supposed to fly out to his final destination at 10;30.

I am so grateful that the Lord is with him! He had the chance to read 100 pages of Preach my Gospel, and gave two people pass along cards while he waited. I'm SURE the Lord has a plan and I know Tony is in the right place, doing the right thing and the Lord is protecting him, putting people in his path and will for the duration of his mission, and his life for his sacrifice and service!
