Privileged to Be a Witness

A key part of volunteer training is shadowing experienced volunteers. Here, you get a peek into the experience from the perspective of one volunteer in training...
 
I had a most exciting experience during one of the days I was training to become a volunteer.
 
Cara, a young woman in college, came in for an ultrasound appointment. During the intake process, she revealed that last year she had experienced a miscarriage.
 
Considering the pain she suffered, Cara and her fiancé weren’t sure how this was all going to work out, but she wanted to keep the baby.

       Your prayers and financial support make this happen. 
​                            Please send a gift to help today.
 While Cara “met” her baby she is carrying for the first time, she was lovingly cared for by two nurturing women and me, a novice to this most vital work.
 
I smiled with awe and joy as I saw Cara’s second-trimester baby appear on screen. What a privilege to see this active, preborn child through the amazing technology of ultrasound!
 
I said a prayer of thanks to our Lord for allowing me to witness the miracle of new life and to see first-hand the wonderful work of being a volunteer at LFL.
  
Your financial support provides a safe place for women to make an informed decision.  Can I count on your support? 
​
      Your gift today will help immediately. Thank you!

Miriam Kremer
​Memorial

Picture
​Miriam Victoria Kremer was carried home to her Lord and Savior in the glow of a beautiful fall sunrise on Thursday, November 3, at 6:57 AM. Miriam fought bravely and without complaint during a three-year struggle with leukemia and subsequent complications throughout her high school years. Miriam was 17 (July 21, 2005 - November 3, 2022).
 
To honor Miriam’s deepest desire to save lives and change lives with the Gospel, Miriam’s family ask that memorials be made to WELS Lutherans for Life, 8501 W. Lincoln Ave, West Allis, WI, 53227.

Miriam was a warrior for Life. She cared deeply and was strongly committed to life issues. Her passion compelled her to speak up for pre-born babies and their mothers at any opportunity. She loved the work of WELS Lutherans For Life (LFL). She was even able to attend the LFL banquet with her family this year on October 14th.
 
Miriam was a blessing and true inspiration of strength and grit — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — to all who came in contact with her. She leaves a massive void for those who loved her - sisters Keturah (18) and Michaiah (13), parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, many pets, caregivers and a long list of friends.

Miriam was known for her generosity and caring for those around her. She loved to purchase gifts for friends and family and was always jotting down notes throughout the year so she would have ideas at hand.

Miriam loved pets, traveling, hiking, camping, kayaking, fishing, playing trumpet and piano, and learning guitar with Grandpa. Her final trips included zip-lining at the Creation Museum this spring, camping and kayaking this summer, and catching her biggest fish ever during a Lake Michigan charter this fall. Her final feats were the homecoming festivities this fall and climbing the stairs at Holy Hill two weeks before she entered heaven.
