This week was GREAT! So many things happened
so I will just give you guys the Highlights. Our district is getting a lot
better at the language. My companion is awesome as ever and in 11 days we leave
for the mission field! Time for some experiences.
On Wednesday night we got two new Brazilian
roommates, at around 11:00 after we all went to bed. One of our roommates had a
seizure. At first I heard him say something in Portuguese then he started
hitting his bed post. I had no idea what was happening. I thought I was
dreaming. Eventually we figured it out and turned on the lights. He fell out of
bed and onto the floor. My companion jumped off the bunk bed like superman and
helped our roommate out. I sent Elder B and Elder M to get help. Luckily my
companion's dad used to have seizures so he knew what to do. It only lasted
about 5 minutes. Afterward we got him cleaned up and gave him a blessing. This
was a pretty amazing experience. The spirit was very strong. Elder B gave the
blessing and it was great. Even though he gave it in English our roommate
understood. So that was the first experience I wanted to share. Second, I gave
my first blessing yesterday. A sister in my District asked me to give her a
blessing because she was feeling a lot of stomach pain. So before we started
class we gave her a blessing. I was pretty nervous since I had no idea what I
was doing, luckily our teacher was there, and the other elders helped me out.
It was pretty amazing. I don't think I have ever felt like that before. As I
gave the blessing I felt such peace and calmness. I felt the spirit really
strong. It just reminded me that we were here to serve others by being tools in
Heavenly Father’s hands. After the blessing I couldn't remember what I said but
I knew they weren't my words. I am so grateful for this opportunity to be here.
These past few weeks have been really hard but also really rewarding. I can't
wait to go into the field. I know it will be even harder out there but I also
know it will be rewarding.
Feliz Natal everyone! Have a great Holiday!
