BLAINE: I have been very very busy lately, so have not even been reading
most of the posts. Sorry if I have not answered some of your queries.
In answer to your question, Izzy, I have to say NO! I have never seen an
angel.
BUT--about a year or so after my wife and I were married civally, we
began
taking a church-sponsored class to help us prepare for being sealed
together
in the Salt Lake Temple. On the evening that we finished the class, the
teacher provided punch and cookies, and as we were sitting around drinking
the
punch and eating the cookies, in the teacher's basement, I suddenly became
aware that a woman was standing directly in front of me. I could only
sense her
presence, so don't ask me how I knew it was a woman--I just knew that it
was
a her, not a him. She stood there for a moment, and it came through to me
that she was one of my immediate ancestors, a woman born in Norway, who
had
been active in converting her husband and family to Mormonism, and that
she was
there to show her approval of what we were in process of doing. I said
nothing, just sat there taking it all in. Later that same night, my wife
asked
me, "Could you feel that there was an angel present in the room at the
teacher's house tonight?" I said "YES!" She was one of my relatives!"
I was
amazed she had experienced the same thing, yet neither of us had spoken of
it
at the time.
That is the closest I have ever come to seeing an angel, Izzy.
