No Way, Jos\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Mexican gentile boy went missing. His parents, middle-income people who worked in a factory, tried to find their lost child, but met against a brick wall. The factory owner was a Jew who used to come to me for blessings and advice in the merit of my holy fathers. When I arrived in Mexico, four months after the boy had disappeared, the broken parents came to me, relating their sorry story. They said that in spite of all their efforts, they did not have the thread of a clue as to his whereabouts.<\/p>\n

I asked them, \u201cDid your son, by any chance, mention the city Acapulco before he disappeared? Did he ask to travel there?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d was their definite answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid he smoke drugs?\u201d I pressed onward.<\/p>\n

To the best of their knowledge, he did not.<\/p>\n

  1. The Mexican boy who was missing, together with his parents<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cDoes he by any chance, have a friend named Jos\u00e9?\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

    I instructed them to return home and pray to Hashem for their son\u2019s safety, as they had been doing until now. I added, \u201cG-d willing, you will return to me on Sunday, together with your son.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The parents were stunned by my words. They left my room with hope in their hearts. The very next day, their son called up from the bus stop. He had just arrived from Acapulco. He asked that they come to get him.<\/p>\n

    That Sunday, the three of them came to see me. Before he could open his mouth, I asked, \u201cWho is Jos\u00e9?\u201d<\/p>\n

    He answered that it was an older youth who had taught him how to smoke drugs.<\/p>\n

    I then turned to the father and warned him, \u201cMake sure not to strike your son, because the next time he runs away, he won\u2019t come back!\u201d<\/p>\n

    This incident caused ripples throughout the city, causing a great kiddush Hashem. The gentiles, too, were impressed by this miracle that happened to one of theirs<\/em>.<\/p>\n
