Lauren Willardson is a disciple of Jesus Christ and 19-year old Utah native. She was serving a mission in Houston Texas when she and her companion were stabbed multiple times in their sleep by an intruder. Through the power of God, she lives today to tell her story. She is now at home recovering with her family and hoping to return to the mission field early 2021.
I know with all of my heart that I am only here today because of God’s power and I am sustained every day through your many prayers! I am touched to see all the good in the world that comes from a community of universal faith! I just want to express my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to every single one of you reading this story. I have read tons of posts from people who are praying for my companion, for me, and for our families. We are truly humbled and honored. I wish I could look every single one of you in the eyes and say how GRATEFUL I am for your love and support. Your prayers enabled me through every step of this journey and I hope you each know that they have quite literally caused modern day miracles in my healing process. THANK YOU!! I love you all! I would not be where I am today without you, and I am honored to be your sister in the family of God.
