Book of Mormon October 31,2011
Tuesday early morning I woke up with a very sharp pain in my low back. I first thought that I just slept wrong, but the pain intensified so after a half hour or so I woke up Sister Alberts by screaming her name. She rushed out of bed and to my side. I was laying on the floor...to make a long story short, she rushed me to the E.R, We called our mission presidents wife at 2:40a.m. after we got to the hospital. I was able to get a room in 20 minutes which was a blessing.The lady said that if I would have come much sooner I would probably have been waiting for hours, it was a really busy night. That was blessing # 1. The #2 blessing happened as I was laying in bed before they were able to give me any medication, the pain got worse and worse I was crying and praying and asking for my mom (ha,ha) and as I continued my plea to Heavenly Father for help, He answered my cry with a soft impression to read the Book of Mormon. With tears I turned to Sister Alberts and asked if she would read the Book of Mormon to me (we always carry a copy with us). She started to read and immediately and I mean immediately peace fell upon me. I stopped crying, the pain was not as severe and I calmed down.It was a miracle. Seriously the moment she started to read the spirit filled the room,and I felt immediate peace and that everything would be okay. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know that it will bring anyone who is seeking for truth closer to Christ and bring greater hope and peace into their lives. I've almost always had a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon, however, I am so grateful for this experience that strengthened my faith in the power of the Book of Mormon. On top of everything, Sister Alberts called our district leader at 4:30 a.m. because I requested a blessing. So three elders came at 5:00 a.m. and gave me a blessing. It was awesome! ( by this point I was on meds so I was a happy clam).So shortly after I got a cat scan and the doctors found out that I had a kidney stone 4mm which is medium size. It's a blessing that it wasn't any bigger. The stone passed! I was told that usually it takes a week for a kidney stone to pass. I know God was blessing me and watching over me.
