So we're walking through this neighborhood that we felt we
needed to be at. The sun is going down, the people are going inside, and we're
running out of time. We look at the time and are like, "ok, let's walk
down this street and back around to our bikes and call it good". So we
start walking and see a man working on some garage lights or something. We
offer some help, he rejects it. We offer some messages about Jesus, he accepts
it. His name is Eric, he is so awesome. We were able to teach him about his
true identity and potential as a cherished child of a Loving Father. He looks
at our tags and asks, "so y'all are Elders. Will y'all bless my home?"
We are able to explain more about the priesthood and power
of God and we dedicate this stranger-now-friend's home. The Spirit was strong
and you could tell that Eric was touched. In a way that we couldn't tell him,
the Lord told him that we were His servants.
Later in the week us 4 Elders are driving up with our Relief
Society President to Folsom, literally the boonies.(Sister Ziegler, the RSP,
straight up met her husband on a greyhound bus on the way to Venezuela and
taught him the first 3 discussions, later he was baptized and they were sealed.
So awesome). So anyway, there's a family up in Folsom that we've been trying to
visit but communication is just hard cause they live so far away. Turns out the
sister that we are trying to visit hasn't been able to get the medication she
needs since the hurricane hit and she is having a rough time. But then turns
out that Sister Ziegler works at a pharmacy that holds the medication that she
needs. Miracle.
On top of that, this amazing sister was complaining of
disturbing nightmares and experiences in their home and we again had a chance
to dedicate and sanctify their home. There we were, 4 guys in white shirts and
ties from all over the country kneeling and surrounded by dogs, a baby chicken
and a bunch of random kids who didn't even live there, using the authority and
power of God to bless a small trailer in the middle of Louisiana country. Crazy
how God works. You could feel the difference as we talked with them afterwards.
Everyone seemed more at ease, more hopeful and more friendly. Such an amazing
experience.
Have a blessed week y'all!
