Our Chevette was a cute silver.
On Mothers Day the older girl's and I were talking about
"The Crash" we had in our brand new
1977 Chevette Hatchback.
It was so cute and it got such good gas mileage,
29 mpg in the city and 39 mpg
on the highway.
We left early in the morning on Friday the 13th of February,
the day after Becky's birthday.
I obviously fell asleep
because when I opened my eyes
I saw a road marker in front of me.
I over-corrected and by doing that
the car flipped
end over end,
over end.
After the car rolled and was flying through the air
with myself and all six of my children in it,
I prayed to Heavenly Father
and asked Him to help me because
there was absolutely
and asked Him to help me because
there was absolutely
nothing I could do by
myself.

A voice answered and said
"You all have your missions yet to fulfill".

When we landed in a ditch across the road,
it was so peaceful and I heard
the birds singing.
Timmy had flown out of the broken and
smashed window and
had slid down hi-way 80
smashed window and
had slid down hi-way 80
on his back and arm.
A car stopped to help us and I told them to go away
that we didn't need their help.
Obviously I was in shock.
I then told Timmy to,
"get back in the car because
we were going to go
to Grandma's".
He said,
"Mom we don't have any wheels and all of the
windows are smashed out".
I finally realized the situation we were in.
An ambulance stopped on it's way to
the hospital in Elko and we got a
ride into town with it.
They said that a trucker had radioed that there was a
fatal accident up ahead.
We were that accident but we were all alive
and had very minor injuries.
That is physically.
Emotionally I was a mess and
I kept having flashbacks of the wreck
over and over and over for a
very long time.
There is so much more to this story but it is
all very sad so I think that I will just say
all very sad so I think that I will just say
that I am so thankful for the angels
that were there to help us that
morning on the I-80 between
Wells and Elko, Nevada.

Wells and Elko, Nevada.
I really don't know how we all would have survived
without divine intervention.

And as my family grew and got older and we had
TEENAGERS
it was very comforting to remember those words;
"You all have your missions yet to fulfill."
