One afternoon several years ago during our Ambassadors In Mission outreach to Calcutta, India, missionary Huldah Buntain casually mentioned that we had an appointment to meet with Mother Teresa.
Talk about excitement! We were all pretty anxious when we arrived at her residence not knowing what to expect.
Mother Teresa immediately set us all at ease with her quiet and humble demeanor. She told us about her homes for the destitute and dying and her new out reaches in the USA for terminal AIDs patients. We all remember her saying,
“Calcutta is everywhere”
It is one of the most desperately poor places in the world.
I was so blessed to have the opportunity to talk and share with such a great servant. I remember all the sisters kept saying ‘no pictures’ but when we sat with Mother Teresa just outside her simple room, the Indian Youth Pastor asked if we could have a photo. She said , “Yes, just one.”
I prayed as I set my camera that the lighting, shutter speed and focus were correct. I was so relived to see this great moment captured days later when the film developed.
