3.19.18 Sing!

3.19.18

First, a little S/O to Kaycar and Gracie for their calls this week!! INDEPENDENCE and MEXICO CITY NORTH are super blessed to get them.

         This week was a pretty tough week but also a pretty good one too! One of the members we visit who has had a problem with alcohol told us that he was super sick because he has some kind of disease, and now he has about 3 years to live. so that was super rough. Then I guess he left to some alcoholic rehab for 4 months without saying bye so that was even harder.  Hes a good guy though and I hope he gets the help he needs.

         This week I had a super sweet experience with the same Miguel Angel. We had a lesson close to his house and I felt we should swing by. We went to his house and he was shaking and crying he was in so much pain. They couldn't take him to a medical center for pain because if they touched him he would start screaming. So I turned to my comp and said. "You ready to sing?? I'm not a singer so I was as surprised as my companion but we sang! During our  5 or so hymns his pain went from 10/10, to 7 to 5 down to a 2.  His wife said she was "mad with God", so we thought it might be a good time to  share scriptures/experience of when Joseph Smith was in Liberty Jail and how all of these trails and problems will be for our good. After all that was over he then told us that he was amazed that a pain had been SO intense, and so intolerable could go away within a few minutes of us singing. I'm praying they are learning to recognize the spirit as we have these experiences with them.  I honestly love this family so much Every time we visit them I feel at home. 

          The other cool experience we had was with a less active family we found. We scheduled a fhe lesson with them and when we showed up they brought 2 married couples with them. As we talked about families and how we can be together forever as families, and how the death isn't the end. after talking about temples and how its only through the sealing ordinance by a priesthood holder that we can receive that blessing, she was literally speechless.  The spirit was so strong as we testified of families and how they can be forever!
