Monday will be a big day for the Baha'i religion (pronounced Bah-HIGH). It will be the birthday of the Bab.

And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, stay with me for a moment.

Forty years ago while visiting a post office in rural Bolivia, I met my first Baha'i. Or I should say my first Baha'is. There were two of them.

My missionary companion and I were going in as they were leaving. We ended up face to face. We felt like we'd met ourselves. They were young, like us. And like us, they were pleasant and earnest. I liked them right away. And that first impression has made me a fan of the Baha'is for four decades now.
