Parker Strong found his old Jr. Jazz jersey while serving an LDS mission in Ghana. "It was really just there to tell me that I was loved and cared for and that my heavenly father was watching over me," Strong said.
Parker Strong, a 19-year-old from Centerville, Utah, sat on a tro-tro in West Africa. The Ghanaian public transportation was overcrowded and passengers began to pass their goods back for others to help hold. Strong was handed a goat to keep on his lap. It breathed on his face and he looked out the window at the rain forest he was driving through.
