LDSWitness--Angel in a Red Jeep, Post #1
A few years ago my husband and I were driving through the Blue Mountains of Eastern, Oregon headed toward our home in the Portland , OR area. As we came off the steep hill where the sun was shining, we entered dense fog. We could barely see the hood ornament on the front of our car, let alone the highway. I was frightened and said a quick prayer as my husband gripped tightly to the steering wheel. A mile or two later this red jeep with fog lights passed us. It stayed ahead of us at our speed, just enough that we could see its tail lights ahead of us. We traveled through the Pendleton valley for about 75 miles. As we got closer to the Columbia River the fog became a little thinner and the red jeep turned off at the next exit. As we got to that point we could see much better and were soon out of the fog. I do not believe this just happened conveniently, and to this day I believe we were sent an "angel" in a red jeep. It was one of the Lord’s tender mercies
LDS Witness Postings-Miraculous Healing #2
I signed up to put my testimony on LDS Witness. I'm supposed to write a blog every week. This was number two:
In 1964 my then 3-year old son, Mark, had an illness that developed into Nephritis, a serious kidney disease. He was hospitalized and put on what I think was antibiotics. Still the white blood cell count wouldn’t come down. He couldn’t understand why he had to stay at the hospital. The doctors were talking about transferring him to Doernbecher‘s Children’s Hospital in Portland, saying he would be there at least six months. I had two other young children at home and it would have been a tremendous hardship on our family to have to travel to Portland every day or two.
His father and another man holding the Melchezidek Priesthood, by laying their hands on his head, and anointing his head with a drop of consecrated oil, gave him a Priesthood Blessing. Within a day his white blood cell count started coming down toward normal. He was discharged from the hospital a week later. He had to take penicillin tablets every day for a long time, perhaps a year, and we were told to keep him in bed for another one to three weeks. Have you ever tried to keep a lively three-year old down in bed if he didn’t want to be? He was up bouncing on the couch the first day!
This young man never had any after effects from this illness. He grew up, served a Church mission in Guatemala, married and fathered five children. At age 51, he now is a grandfather of one little boy. He has two Master’s degrees, is a C.P.A., and has traveled to Holland, the Ukraine, Okinawa, Costa Rica and other parts of the world. He referees kids soccer, sometimes two or three games, one right after the other on a normal Saturday.
I know that he was completely healed because of that Priesthood Blessing. The Priesthood leaders in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have the power and authority to bless the lives of others.
