Miracles

On the way home from raleigh this weekend, (after visiting cita at her hotel pool!) when we were still about 30 minutes from home, and on the freeway, Our car suddenly lost power. Matt coasted to the side of the road and we were stranded. The closest exit sign was back the way we had come. (the sign said 1 1/2 miles) In the opposite direction we couldn't even see any exit signs. We had no cell phone. It was dark. We had all three kids in the backseat. The car wouldn't start.

Matt suggested that he would walk to the nearest exit and try to get some help. I was hesitant to split up, because then if help did come how would we get Matt back? but we didn't know what else to do. The girls have been learning about prayer in primary and one of them suggested we needed to pray. We climbed into the backseat and knelt where we could. We asked our Heavenly Father to help us stay together, and to get home safely. Then we told the kids to stay buckled in and Matt and I got outo of the car. We stood next to the van and matt said. "Lets try to flag somebody down." I felt silly standing there in the dark waving my arms over my head, but I didn't have a better suggestion. Within minutes a tow truck pulled over and asked what the problem was. Matt said we needed a tow and was he available? The man said, "Well, i'm on a call already, how far do you need to go?" Matt said "Well, we live in Rocky Mount" The man got a funny look on his face and said. "I'm going to Rocky Mount. I can take you there."

We felt so blessed and watched over. Heavenly Father hears our prayers.
