A 'neat, crazy ride': How a chance meeting forever changed the lives of this Selma family

SELMA, Ind. — Jason Buck and his wife Staci still remember the phone call they had after Jason's mission trip in Ethiopia in December 2011.

How could they ever forget?

After communicating through email for a week, Staci asked how his trip went. But there was only one thing on Jason's mind.

"I met this boy in Mekelle," he said.

It wasn't at all what she had expected to hear. And little did she know then, but that phone call was about to spiral into a series of events that would change their lives forever.
