To: I am looking for a story that I think you will know of. It was either during the time of the Master or the Guardian, I think. One or two Persian believers (brothers?) were asked to go to Egypt. The immediately obeyed, and left, even though they did not have specific instructions and did not know why they were sent. When the boat arrived, they disembarked and stood in the shipyard totally bewildered, but trusted that they doing what was needed and that eventually they would discover their purpose. All they heard being spoken day in and day out was Arabic. They could not understand anything. Then one day they were astonished, because they hear Persian being spoken. They said Hello to the man speaking Persian and quickly learned that he was also a Baha'i.... (and they realized what they were supposed to do next, which I don't recall) Do you know about this? Is it easy to find on a web site? (have looked but key words like '2 Baha'is sent to Egypt and did not speak Arabic' yielded nothing) Thanks so much for trying...
