Hellooooooo,
It
was a great week here in New Rochelle, NY! This week was actually pretty calm
compared to the previous week. Life is seriously great.
This
week I want to share my testimony about two things. I know that the Priesthood
(the authority to act in the name of God) has been restored to the earth. I
also know that the Book of Mormon is he word of God and it truly brings peace
to our souls.
A
week and a half ago we were called over to give a woman a blessing. She has
been very sick for most of her life and was especially going through a rough
patch at the time. We were able to give her a blessing of health and as well we
were able to give it in Spanish,
her native language. Nothing miraculous seemed to happen then but the next day
she was able to come to church for the first time in a VERY long time! Then the
following week she felt pretty good and actually had a good week, and then Sunday
morning she woke up not feeling very well and passed away. She was an
amazing woman and I'm positive that she is more comfortable now. The Priesthood
blessing allowed her to partake of the sacrament one last time and then to have
a pretty good last week here on earth. She was grateful for the blessing and
I'm grateful for the reality of priesthood power. I'm humbled to be a holder of
the priesthood.
About
the Book of Mormon being the word of God; it is! When I have questions or I am
in need, I pray. When I don't feel an answer while praying, I turn to the Book
of Mormon and 100% of the time I learn something and my prayers are answered.
The peace that is felt while reading the Book of Mormon is miraculous. The
Spirit testifies of truth and I promise you that I feel the Spirit when I read
the Book of Mormon. It is true. I love it! I testify of it all of the time and
I do so out of sincere love and hope that people will read it and find the joy
and peace that I find.
Love
you all!
