I talked with Brad Wilcox!
On
June 8th, I opened the mailbox and once again walked away
disappointed. That evening I got to perform as a soloist at “An
Evangelical-Mormon Conversation” event where Brother Brad Wilcox was speaking. I
sang "Consider the Lilies," and afterward I got to meet Brother
Wilcox who had been a mission president over Santiago East! I told him that I
was expecting a mission call any day. He lovingly put his arm around me and
said, "Oh Maddie, I hope you go to Chile!" AND THEN TWO DAYS LATER
THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE I'M GOING. So I emailed him and told him that. Enclosed is
the email he sent back to me not ten minutes later.
"How
crazy is that? I served in Chile as a young man (Vina) and then in
Santiago East as a mission president. Our mission is just a little
smaller than yours. Yours includes some of the coast (lucky) while ours
was all big city. Funny that I said I wanted you to go to Chile.
Ha. I guess I was more in tune than I thought I was! You will love
it there. You will love the members there and the language and the
food. They love music so I hope you get to share your music with them
too. Thanks for remembering to let me know. That just made my
day. Love, Brad Wilcox"
