Elder M. Rich Porter's Divinely Provided Meals and Lodging

“On our way to the Conference, Brother Jos. Folkman and myself walked from Strasburg to Karlsruhe in the Vogesen mountains. From the fact that we had a long way to go in a short time, we started early, having with us about 25 cents, enough to keep us the first night. On the first day we gave tracts out in three villages. We entered the first at noon, and in the second house I was given a good dinner, and enough besides to satisfy Brother Folkman. At night we were well received, and had our supper given us, but sleptin aninn. Next day we began our march with about 10 cents in our pockets, and walked steadily all day spending our remaining money for some biscuits for dinner, then reached a village in which we had an address, tired, weak and hungry. Were led toa family who informed us that no such address was in the place. They at once became interested and gave us a good supper, one of the most thankfully received meals I ever had. They directed us to a family in the next village who made us welcome, and gave us all the attention possible. Spent the next forenoon tracting in the village, being received by nearly every one. Sold one family two books, were given a fine dinner and enough in our grip for supper and breakfast. In the afternoon we meta preacher who treated us to apples, and a good sister gave us three marks. We reached Karlsruhe with over four marks, having had a good bed each night, and plenty of good food to eat. I feel thankful for my experience.— Millennial Star 63:12”
