Bre Lasley Story


Bre Lasley, the Survivor of an Attempted Murder, Testifies That Heavenly Father “Dispatched Earthly Angels” to Save Her
byLDS Living Staff | Jan. 19, 2019
On September 23, 2015, Bre Lasley was in her bedroom when a complete stranger climbed through her window and attempted to murder her. For six minutes, Lasley and her younger sister, Kayli, fought their attacker before a police officer arrived and shot her attacker, killing him.

BL: “That’s when I saw him. And from eight feet away, in the dark, Ben Hone gave my attacker three chances to drop the knife, and he didn’t. Instead, my attacker extended his arm. He was kind of playing peek-a-boo with his head from behind my head telling Ben to step back because he’s going to stick me. And he extended his arm to come back and stab me in the throat and when he extended his arm, his head came back from behind my head. Our cheeks were touching and Officer Hone took one shot and that one shot struck my attacker directly in the nose, which shut down his central nervous system, which ultimately made him drop the knife. If he (Ben Hone) would’ve hit him anywhere else, he (her attacker) would’ve been able to finish his last reflex and I wouldn’t be here.
“And I think that that’s a long way of answering your question. There was a lot of times that heaven was there. I said Heavenly Father and I mean that. I think that He sends help. He did send help. Elder Holland, I can’t remember what talk it was, but he said something about how angels are dispatched to save us, and that’s what happened to me that night. I believe that there were heavenly angels, but I also believe that heaven dispatched earthly angels—Kayli being one of them. Ben being one of them. Our neighbors across the street, who were EMT students, came over with their EMT bags and had gloves and were able to stick their fists in my wounds and keep the blood from flowing until an ambulance got there. There were so many angels that night and there’s no way to deny that there was heavenly help the entire time.”

President Nelson Speaks at His Daughters Funeral

President Nelson said his daughter has been welcomed home by her mother, Sister Dantzel W. Nelson, who died unexpectedly on February 12, 2005, and her sister Emily Nelson Wittwer, who died on January 29, 1995. She will continue to grow, learn, and progress, he said. “Just think of what lies ahead for her.”
To her children and grandchildren, President Nelson said: “She can minister to you in what I call ‘parenting through the veil.’ She can see us more clearly through the veil than we see her. We cannot forget her. We do not cease to love her. We are sealed to her by eternal ties. She loves us now more than ever. Her desire for our well-being will be even greater than that which we feel for ourselves. So, dear family, stay tuned.”  22 January 2019
