3.) As a child, Colleen Stohlton had nightmares, and even occasionally daymares, about death. The dreams were so terrifying, she couldn’t let them go. Needing some comfort and answers, she asked her mother if she knew what happened after death. Her mother didn’t know, but promised she’d find out. She went to the minister of their Protestant church, and asked him. He told her he didn’t know either.
Colleen’s devoted mother went to every minister in her town, and was given the same response by every one of them. One day, she saw two young men in suits walking up her street, and heard a voice tell her “Whatever these men tell you will be true.”
They knocked on her door and she immediately asked them if they knew what happened after death. They said yes, and she invited them in, had her daughter, Colleen come down, and listen to the missionaries preach of the Plan of Salvation.
After they left, Colleen and her family never saw those missionaries again, and wondered how they’d come to their house, seeing as there wasn’t a LDS chapel within a hundred miles, but Colleen later said, “It brought me such peace I was never troubled over it again.”
