This is my 1st post in this VERY special blog!

My husband was baptized in August! We have been married for 10 yrs at that time. I had been going to church with our kids for 9 yrs by myself! Not an easy task! I'll start with how I came back to The Lord's church.

      I came back to church when my oldest was only 9 months old! I heard the Lord's voice and I saw the many signs that it was time to come back to Him! I had wonderful help with my Visiting Teachers, the great Lisa Allure, and the wonderfully sweet Mary Fell.  I let them in and became friends with them. They were a huge comfort when I came back. One Morning I was about to go to the mailbox, at my front door there was a HUGE green gorgeous fern! I thought it was my visiting teachers! I loved it! I even went to church to thank them! Thinking it had to be from them! It was such a Mormon thing to do! Michael and I went the following Sunday! I went up to these fabulous women said "Thank you so much for the fern! I love it!" They responded with " what fern?"  It wasn't them! I have no idea who left that fern! But it got me to go to church, to feel His spirit!   

 Another sign was, Greg Buhler!
 Michael was just a newborn, in need of a doctor! I look threw the insurance policy book ( yes a paper book!, not a web site! that long ago!) found him! He was in the same town as we were! I thought "perfect"! Made an appointment for the next week!    The day of the doc appt, I got Michael up and went, as I was driving I could not find the road to turn! The street sign was down! I was so upset, about to turn around when I figured I will try this street and if it's not it then I'll go home. It was the correct street! I pulled in the long drive way and saw a man walking to his shed, I thought he was a great friend of mine in Utah, a wonderful priesthood holder that helped me when I was in my 20s,( before marriage and babies.)It was not my friend John Beck, it was Greg Buhler!(Patti Buhler's husband) I went down to his office to wait our turn. I saw the photos on his walls of the general authorities, didn't really recognized them, but by the composition I thought " yup that is a Mormon photo!"  Saw the pass along cards on a table then new, he is LDS! Michael was called in to his office!( I must admit I was surprised that he still saw him with how late I was.He was/ is so nice) As I was going back to the exam room I asked " your Mormon!?" With what I think, great surprise to my question, he answered "yes I am! This must be the baby that was blessed recently! I was wondering who that was."
From then on when I took Michael to his  check-ups,  I received spiritual help!

  The 3rd sign! We lived in these apartment in Kearney, MO when Michael was born. I like to call them the ghettos of Kearney! After a few months of living there a couple moved in downstairs to the left of us. They were a very nice couple! We became friends fast! Yes, they are LDS! Bill and Patsy Gerle!  We started having Family Home Evening with each other and dinner with the sister missionaries! They were building their beautiful home down the road from the ghettos of Kearney. I'm so glad that they were lead to live there! I know it wasn't easy living in those apts and they could of found someplace better, but nope The Lord needed them and they followed! 

So grateful for the sweet angels The Lord sent to help me and my family!
