Howdy everybody! I hope things are going well back home for ya!! I know my email is getting sent out late because this week we had transfers so president Zanni changed our Pday.
The transfer news is............... I'm staying! Élder Johnson and I will be together for another transfer in San Jorge! I am looking forward to it!! We have some high expectations, so we need to complete them!
This past week and a half was really great!! We had a lot of miracles happen. First of all we went to visit a lady who was a reference from one of our few members that we have in San Jorge. We went over and her name is Giselda, and was in a very bad motorcycle accident about 6 months ago. Her leg got caught in the back wheel of the motorcycle and she thought the bike was going to explode, so she pulled her leg out as fast as she could, in the process tearing basically everything from her knee down. Her calf was moved down by her heel bone. Crazy! So for the past y months she's been going to all sorts of doctors, and they have been trying to help her but nothing really changed. She could walk about a block before the severe pain set into her leg.
Well we taught her a lot about the atonement of Jesus Christ and how He had suffered her pains. We then explained how the priesthood power to heal has been restored and exists today!! We then asked her, "Giselda do you have the faith sufficient to be healed?" She said, "Of course I do Elders!" So we then gave her a blessing. It was an experience that changed me.
As I was giving her the blessing she just felt her entire body just fill with warmth and joy. A feeling that she told us that she never had felt before!! We then left her house and get a message from her that same night saying how she was with her daughter drinking some mate, and as she was sitting there heard a popping noise in her leg, she then looked at it, and her calf and all the muscles went back to where they were before. Truly a miracle. It made me think of John Tanners story, when his leg was healed because he had the faith sufficient to be healed. The same thing happened to Giselda. Through the faith that she had in her Savior she was healed! She will be getting baptized on the 11 of November😊😊
Another miracle that happened was with our friend Leandro! Leandro is a pastor from another church that has been coming to our church every Sunday, and has been reading from the book of mormon a lot! He immediately found the connection that it has with the Bible! So we taught him how he needs to pray to find the answer. The next time we went over he said he read and prayed about it, and in the night had a dream. In his dream he saw a white dove flying around him, it wouldn't land, it was just flying around. He woke up the next morning and searched for answers to that dream in the book of mormon. He read a lot about baptism and the holy ghost descending upon Jesus in the form of a dove. We asked him why he thought he was dreaming that? He said, I think God is telling me to change. We invited him to be baptized so that he could receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and he said yes!
God blessed us so much this week! The amount of miracles that we have been a part of have just been incredible!! I also hit 18 months, kind of crazy! I don't have much more time😪 have a wonderful week!
Love, Elder Weese
