Terrible amd Miraculous Event

This week we had a terrible and miraculous event take place in the mission.  Two sister missionaries were running to the bus stop trying to catch the next bus, which was coming down the street.  As the bus got along side the sisters, Sister Nelson slipped and fell and her left leg and her right foot went under the bus.  The bus went right up and over her leg and foot.  The pain was terrible.  When she arrived at the hospital by ambulance they found out she had no broken bones, no broken blood vessels.  These buses are huge.  They carry 50 to 100 people packed in like sardines. After removing her shoe and leggings they could see a 10" tire track on the shin side of her leg right above her foot.  She is doing great, she has some slight bruising on her left leg and right foot. With the size and weight of the bus her leg and foot should have been smashed flat.  Since the tire ran over the shin side of her left leg, that means her left foot had to of been upright between the dual wheels. Sister Nelson is from Sally's town, Colorado Springs. Everyone here is humbled and grateful that Sister Nelson has been so blessed.

Over my life time I have seen several times when God has intervened and blessed someone.  Sister Pritchard in Ireland when a bomb blew out all the windows in a large department store, where hundreds of people were seriously hurt from flying glass, and she was unharmed because the window she was standing in front of was unbroken.  The only unbroken window in the whole store.  Alan, when he flew through a window when a mission van of nine people crashed traveling 60 miles an hour.  Brady, when he was choking and turning blue with a piece of candy stuck in his throat.  Brady, when given a priesthood blessing and he immediately began to get better when he was in serious trouble with his kidney's malfunctioning.  Karamine, on at least two occasions while carrying babies during pregnancy. Claire and her sweet spirit and healed body still with us here on earth.  Sylvia, on several occasions when her life was being threatened with serious heart issues. She actually would have died several times without God intervening to help and bless her. These are just a few of the numerous times we have seen God come to someone's aid and the impossible happened.  There are many other times when God did not intervene.  It is hard to sort out why God blesses on one occasion and does not heal on another; nevertheless, we are grateful when he has heard our prayers and provided a blessing.
