The Lord Protects His Missionaries

Several experience this week helped Hermana Wilbur to know that she is watched over by the Lord and his angels while she is serving in Owensboro, Kentucky.

First story:  Nicole was biking along in a neighborhood with her companion.  As she was crossing through an intersection, a truck hauling a huge trailer did not take the time to stop at the stop sign and started heading right towards her.  Both Nicole and the trucker slammed on brakes and barely missed each other.  It was a very close call!

Tornados in Kentucky!

Second, a few tornados touched down in Owensboro last Sunday and Nicole and her companion were told to shelter in the apartment, in the bathtub, with a mattress over their heads.  As you can imagine, the experience was a new one for Nicole (coming from New Mexico) so she and her companion said a prayer that all would be well, and that they wouldn't be scared.  During the prayer, Nicole's companion mentioned that the apartment had been dedicated before they moved in and that she was confident that angels would watch over them during the tornado.  Nicole felt great peace and comfort.  It turns out that over 70 tornados touched down in Kentucky last week. 

On the positive side, Nicole attended her first Zone Conference in Evansville, Indiana.  She reports it was a great experience and she received a lot a valuable instruction that she has used while tracting and talking to people in Owensboro.

Quote from Hermana Wilbur:  "I really don't know how I got so lucky to come to the Great Kentucky Louisville Mission (GKLM)...this mission is the best mission in the world and we have the best mission president and wife."
