It really was a miracle for this American missionary
A critically injured American missionary survived a night in icy conditions wearing nothing but a T-shirt and socks after falling 70 metres from a cliff south of Sydney.

A trail of clothing led rescuers to 20-year-old Matthew Weirich at 9.45am yesterday after he fell from the Grand Canyon Lookout in the Morton National Park in the NSW Southern Highlands on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Weirich, a visiting missionary with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, was out walking with fellow missionaries when he fell from the cliff while trying to retrieve a lost shoe.

The church's media spokesman, John Millar, said Mr Weirich's fitness - he is a champion pole vaulter - and God led to his survival. "It really is a miracle that he survived," Mr Miller said.

2. That wacky God
what a joker. If he wanted the guy to survive so badly, why'd he push him off the cliff?
