Good morning Family!!!

What an absolutely amazing week! This week was one of the best. We had
the opportunity to exercise the priesthood authority of God a lot this
week. There was a Less Active sister who was allegedly cursed by her
roommate, so we blessed her, her home, and her car. She really
appreciated it. We also had a lesson with one of our investigators
getting baptized in a couple of weeks, and during the lesson, he
started having all the symptoms of a heart attack. Chest pain, The
left side of his body started going numb, he started to sweat, his
mouth got dry, he just started freaking out emotionally, he started to
cry, he was anxious, and he was convinced that he was going to die.
And all of this took place in a matter of minutes, from this
completely normal person. It was an incredibly stressful situation. He
started to talk about dead people and spirits... dark things. The dogs
even started to get anxious and almost started just randomly barking
and growling and pacing outside and in their cages. He was freaking
out. He refused to call for help or go to the hospital, because he was
from Mexico... He had never heard of a blessing and we were trying to
explain it, but he was having a rough time. We eventually where
compelled by him and the spirit to give him a blessing. As we laid
hands upon his head and said his name a contrasting sweet and peaceful
feeling just poured into and permeated the room. We felt him relax and
calm down. Oh, the peace was so sweet! How I wish you all could have
felt it. It was thick. He was completely fine from that point forward.
He kept saying: "look I have no idea what you did, but that was real."
He was convinced that we literally saved his life. And I can't
honestly say that that is not true. God alone knows what could have
happened. After that, we finished our discussion on the Book of Mormon
with the Love of God and gratitude to Him in our hearts. He then
committed to be baptized, and he is in for sure. God is real.
Priesthood authority and power is His, and it really works.

We had a good hike last week. We had a lot of fun!
