I remember coming around out of that coma on the bed. And the professor of the hospital with a doctor and some of the staff came to my hospital bed, and they were quite amazed that I pulled through this, because I actually call it Legionnaires' disease. And I was on two life-support machines and I wasn't expected to come through with that. Because in between that time I was actually in the coma, they'd sent for my family and everything to come to see me, maybe for the last time. I was surprised when I came around to find out that they had actually come to my hospital bed and seen me. And I wasn't available to speak to them obviously. So anyway, he told me about the mortality rate. He said, it's 90-10 survival. And especially at my age, I had caught this Legionnaires' quite severely. And for me, that was a turning point in my life. I prayed every day in my home and for Heavenly Father to show me a sign, because I wanted to give something back. I knew there and then that my life had been saved, and I wanted to do something with my life. And I prayed for weeks upon weeks upon weeks, and nothing happened. And one day, I got up and I decided to walk down to a square where I live, a shopping mall. And I had no particular reason to be there. I just got up and walked there, and I stood outside. I think it was a post office. And a lady approach me and she asked me if I wanted to know a little bit more about Jesus. And I said yes, I'd be quite up for that. And then she started to talk to me. And then as she was doing that, another lady came to us, and then there was two. And she asked me if she could make an appointment to come and see me. What I did feel there as they sat in my front room was this amazing power, something like the power that I felt when I was in the coma. And I recognize that the two had the same power, and I thought-- I wasn't even listening to them anymore. I was just overwhelmed by the surge of power as I sat in my front room, and I knew this is what I was waiting for. I knew that my prayer had been answered. And they came again and they made it further. And each time they came, this power was there. This is a lovely feeling. My relationship with God is much closer, much more understanding. And through my prayers, I know that He hears me and I know that He gives me guidance. I know that, and Jesus Christ and what He'd done for me, and I have a great relationship with Heavenly Father.
