Summary

In February 2019, Lori Walker walked into her family’s vacation home but never walked out, as the house exploded while she was trapped inside. She did, however, make it out alive thanks to countless miracles and three heroes. In the days, weeks, and months that have followed the explosion, Lori has become more convinced of the goodness of humanity, the omniscience of a loving Heavenly Father and the resilience that is found inside each one of us.

"I don't remember the pain at all. I remember how amazing it felt to feel carried through that experience.”

On February 15th, 2019, Lori Walker's life changed forever as she opened the garage door of her family's vacation home and immediately smelled gas.

0:13.0

Moments later, the home exploded with Lori trapped inside.

0:18.0

In Maroni, chapter 7, a series of questions are posed as Mormon asks, has the day of miracle ceased or have angel ceased to appear unto the children of men?

0:31.0

Or has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will he so long as timeshow last or the earth shall stand?

0:40.0

Or there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved?

0:45.0

Lori Walker's story is proof that the answer remains clear. Behold, I say unto you, nay.

0:54.0

Rather than the traditional biography that we normally share at this point in the podcast, and despite the fact that there are many things that we could say about Lori Walker,

1:04.0

I would like to instead share the words of author Anthony Sweat, who also happens to be Lori's neighbor.

1:12.0

Lori is one of the most Christ-like people I know. She is the embodiment of service, kindness, generosity, faith, intelligence, and the 13th article of faith.

1:24.0

Each year, she has all of her family members select someone from the community that is blessed their lives and puts on a light award program to honor the recipient's trophy and all.

Who does that, Lori? All who know her have been blessed by the light she brings into life.

This is All-In, an LDS Living Podcast where we ask the question, what does it really mean to be All-In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

1:56.0

I am Morgan Jones, and I am so honored to have Lori Walker with me today. Lori, welcome.

2:04.0

2:19.0

And so, could you walk us through your experience and what happened on the day that your home exploded?

2:29.0

Sure. Before I get started, I should let you know that, like before you'd feel too bad for me, I don't remember most of this.

2:38.0

So don't feel too too bad for me. It doesn't all go on from my memory.

2:44.0

In February of 2019, so about a year and a half ago, we were expecting to go up to a favorite vacation spot up in Heber,

2:54.0

the cabin that would go too often with a couple of families and have a weekend of ice fishing and fun.

3:00.0

And as is usual for me, I'd packed up several coolers of junk food and was ready for a party, went off for the drive, and the last thing I remember is being about halfway through the drive in Provo Canyon, talking to my dad on the phone.

3:19.0
