November 9, 2009 Hope in a voice mail - Woman discovers gospel through chance call
By Craig Howard, News EditorShare:  
November 9, 2009 — "I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away and will bind up that which was broken and will strengthen that which was sick."
Ezekiel 34:16
The call involved a simple reminder about a church lesson - but for Holli Medema, it turned into the message of a lifetime.
Holli Medema (second from left) was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this May. Chris and Cheri Peck (far right and left) and their daughter, Emily, of Spokane Valley attended the baptism in Ferndale, WA. Medema first learned of the restored gospel after Chris left a phone message intended for an elder in the Belle Terre Ward on her voice mail. Contributed Photo.
In April of this year, some 300 miles away from Medema's home in Ferndale, WA., Chris Peck of the Belle Terre Ward in the Spokane East Stake dialed the cell phone of a teacher in the Elders Quorum who had just moved from the West side of the state. When the call rolled over to voice mail, Chris left word about a teaching assignment the following Sunday that included several scripture references.
The only problem was that Chris had misdialed the number.
When she retrieved the message on her phone, Medema had never read a verse in the Bible, let alone set foot into a church. She texted the Spokane number back, explaining the miscommunication, but thanked Chris for "the message of God."
