Emmi's Miracles

Emmi has had quite a journey since joining the Navy.  She was taking her big fitness test and had pain in her legs that nearly stopped her from finishing her run.  But, Emmi was determined to finish that test and not only finish but pass it.  She has seen many people dropping out, passing out and throwing up.  She wasn't about to give in.  When she had finished she was in so much pain she could hardly walk.  But, she finished and she passed.  The next day she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance where she found out she had stress fractures in both her legs.  Her calves were swollen larger than her throat.  The enzymes reading in her muscles were off the charts.  They kept her in the hospital for three days and then released her.  She had to wait a week to have another blood test to determine if the enzymes had gone back to normal.  If they didn't, she would be sent home and her career with the Navy would come to an end.  Lots of prayers were sent to Heaven in her behalf along with having her name on the prayer rolls of the temple.  Do miracles happen?  Yes.  Are prayers answered?  Absolutely.  She not only got a reading that was normal but was also told that she would be able to move forward with her group.

Now this is where we can be thankful that we belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that with that membership come miracles and answers to prayers and added little tender mercies.  Annie, of course, has been anxious about Emmi.  Lynda Ann got a phone call today, Sunday, from either the relief society president or the branch president (can't remember which).  The call was to let Annie know that Emmi had been had church that day and was doing great!  I guarantee you that this would only happen in our church. You have to know that the branch leaders are well aware of concerns from parents and that call came to reassure Annie that Emmi was well and happy.

So grateful the we belong to a world wide church that has people all over who care about their flock!
I love this gospel.  I KNOW it is true.  I am so thankful for that knowledge and my testimony!

I will have to write a note of thank you to the person in the branch who recognized the need to make a call home to Emmi's parents.

We love you Emmi and we miss you!!!
