I have had a really spiritual week, we have worked harder than i have worked in a long time and we are starting to see the benefits that true dedicated service brings I love my companion and am so lucky to be with the district that im in, i had a crazy thing happen today and i told mom about it so ill just copy and paste what i told her so i dont have to retype it.
Hey mom prepare yourself for a sad story, so someone threw one of those popper things that you throw on the ground behind them and out of the ridiculous chances it had to hit me it did right in the ear and popped in my ear and I couldnt hear in my left ear, basically i was deaf and it was so scary i was crying and balling and instead of playing basketball i just went into a room in the church and prayed like ive never prayed before, I felt the love of heavenly father more than i have ever felt before, he was there to comfort me in my little pity party, i prayed and prayed and covenanted with heavenly father that i would do whatever he wanted of me to gain my hearing back, I had the strongest feeling to ask elder jensen to give me a blessing and van horn to annoint. I went in a room with them and elder adams, he didnt stand in on it and they laid their hands upon my head and i could feel the spirit testify that the words that were coming out of jensens mouth would come to pass. He told me that because of my tremendous faith i would be healed and i know i will be, i hesitated to share this with you because i know your probably freaking out and maybe even crying haha but i know it will heal, its better already it just rings all the time and feels like i have cotton balls in my ear but i know ill be better. It made me know that I will never take what the Lord has blessed me with for granted again. I will never say a vaque or repitious prayer again because i have truly witnessed a miracle in my life and felt the comfort of my heavenly father surround me and let me know ill be alright. I have a true testamony of prayer, of the fact that i really am talking to my heavenly father and that through the power of the priesthood i can be healed of anything. I am fine mom, But I could use some prayers, Besides that it was a pretty good week. I've never worked this hard in my life. Its awesome and the ward is sweet, everyone from my old ward misses me like crazy Pese said they always ask how to get a hold of me, its like a whole family buit im excited to serve in the ward im in. Such a powerful bishop and such strong people we're teaching. I love you mom and hope you have a good week.
I just realized some of those things might be repetitive buit you must realize they are important than. I have been so impresses with the power of prayer and the power of support from my friends and family. I love ya'll! i had some cool pics but i guess they were on a different memory card! ill send them next week.
