Miracle of the day

To celebrate my birthday/help Becky move, Sang and her family came out to D.C. in June. It was a perfect trip...besides one minor tragedy:

Sang lost her wedding ring.

We searched...and searched....and searched. I rented a metal detector. Sang and her husband Devin went through every inch of the house (even took apart pipes in my bathroom); I took every item out of my bedroom and tore up part of the carpet.

The ring was gone.

On Sunday I am sitting in church and hear an announcement about a "significant ring" being found. I was thinking about the phrasing of that when my roommate walks in, sits next to me and says "it's Sang's." It took me a second to realize YES! Sadly, I missed the rest of the announcement. After the meeting, I ran up to my bishop to get more information. An hour later, he introduced me to a man who had found a ring in the parking lot in early June. He had thought it was a fake ring, and was about to throw it away but then had the thought to instead take it to his jeweler friend who told him that it was indeed real and ought to be in a safe! For two months he has worried about this (maybe they made an announcement before, but if so, I hadn't heard it) and they decided to try it again. After a vague description of it being a "platinum or white gold ring with a solitare diamond" and trying to find a picture of the ring on my roommate's iPhone, it was deemed the ring had found its owner (almost). He went home and got the ring to bring back to me at church!!!

Yesterday I overnighted the ring to Sang, and it is currently back on her finger.
