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.
