Edwin Q. Cannon Jr. (known as Ted), who served as a missionary in Germany in 1938, returned home and kept a collection of missionary photographs for forty years. Among these were several photos he could not identify. Despite multiple attempts to discard them, he felt a persistent, recurring spiritual impression to keep them. Years later, these specific photographs proved to be the only existing records of certain individuals or events from his mission, serving as a significant, albeit quiet, manifestation of divine guidance.
