The Weekly:
Hey Family!!!
Well today was a huge rush!! Earlier I didn't have much time and now I really don't either before we have to run to english class!!!
So the transfer new...I went Zone leader and am now in the downtown Nagoya area!! Crazy city life here I come!!! I am way excited for the new change and look foreward to new experiences! Ok, so since I don't have much time I am just going to get to what I want to say this week.
Well first off, conference rocked!!! too many great talks to specify, but loved it!
Besides that this past week I had an amazing experience I have to share...my first blessing in english!
So Elder Mulder had been feeling sick and as I was saying my prayers asking that he get feeling better I had the impression to give him a blessing. However I then decided I would let him ask. Well right after I finished my prayer and we got into bed I told him to just let me know if there was anything I could do for him. Then he asked me to give him a blessing! So I got up and got my oil and off we went.
Well this is my first english blessing and it was amazing for the both of us. Right as I began the sealing and the actual blessing I felt an immense love of God. It seriously felt that God was standing next to me whispering into my ear the words to say. I was completely guided by this beautiful spirit and then led to my step of faith: I felt the impression to say "be healed." Right when I felt this I paused for 10 seconds wondering if I could actually do this. A first for me. Then I said it and continued to feel the love of God. Well long story short, Elder Mulder said the pressure in his face completely left as soon as those words were said. Also that all the things said before the healing were perfect answers to his prayers. I had no idea. God truly worked through me. It felt almost the same as when I got my partriarchal blessing. I was saying the words but really, it was God.
This is the true church of God, our loving Heavenly Father. How great of a blessing to be a part of it with all the keys and blessings that entails. It feels amazing to be a worthy servant of the Lord. I know that each of you as well can feel versions of this joy and spirit in your life and I challenge you to do so.
I love you!
