A Miracle in the Oregon Mountains: Don't Ever Give up Hope

"My prayers are always answered, always," Iris Anderson said, according to a FoxNews report.

When others had given up, one woman didn't. This miracle is a message to everyone: With God, all things are possible. Don't ever give up hope.

From the article:

"Ora Doris Anderson, 76, of Sandy had missing for almost two weeks in the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon. She was found alive, the Baker County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.

...

"Iris Anderson, 71, who is married to Harold's brother, Melvin, credited the miraculous survival to prayer and Anderson's healthy lifestyle.

...

"About 70 volunteers a day combed the mountains for several days looking for Doris Anderson until the search was scaled back in late August.

"Overnight temperatures have dipped into the 30s over the last two weeks, and she was lightly dressed. Authorities had largely given up hope.

"'I don't think there is very much chance of her being alive, not in that area,'" Sheriff Mitch Southwick said last week.

"Iris Anderson said Harold and the couple's two daughters were also starting to lose hope, especially when the search got scaled back."
