Jesus encourages Martha to join them and partake of what is more important fellowship and a lesson about God's glory through victory over death. Mary kneels at Jesus' feet to listen to His words while Martha serves. On one trip to Lazarus's house, Jesus visits with Mary and Martha as Lazarus is in Jerusalem with Simon. When Jesus leaves, he asks if He may return and visit some day. In thanksgiving and appreciation, Mary invites Jesus back to their home for dinner and rest. Christ heals the afflicted Simon of his leprosy. He finds Simon and then takes him to town to see Jesus. He gathers his belongings and goes to his friend, Simon, at the Leper colony. Moved by the experience, Lazarus rushes home to tell his two sisters. While in town, Lazarus witnesses Jesus healing a sick woman. Lazarus then goes to town and delivers letters from the Lepers to their families and friends who are not afflicted. Stricken with grief, Lazarus and Mary return to their home. When they arrive, they receive the news that Sarah has died from her leprosy. They go to visit the Leper colony to deliver the care packages, including the doll. Meanwhile, Lazarus and his sister, Mary, prepare care packages for Simon and the others at the Leper colony. Simon is a friend of Lazarus and was his previous business partner before he took ill. One of its members, Simon, has a daughter, Sarah, who is also afflicted and gravely ill. The story opens in a cave - a Leper colony.
