We were not able to have our Preparation Day yesterday because the bank we use was not able to get all of the missionaries their money. Some missionaries got money, while most did not, so our P-Day got pushed to today! I had another good and solid working week. I will share a few things that happened!
This last week was Transfer News week. Fortunately I will be finishing Elder Uko's training, which I am excited about. But I hope I will be transferred after this one. 6 months in one area will be a long time! But nonetheless, I am grateful to still be here for one more transfer. We have been working hard and are preparing for a baptism this Saturday and hopefully having 4 more people baptized in May. I am pretty dang excited about that.
We had a few experiences this week worth writing down but I will just share one that stands out to me.
One of our investigators, Sister Sesay, has had a daughter, Fatmata, who has been unable to get up or really move for the last few weeks. She has been sick with headaches, stomach pains, and everything else. Every time we went over there she has been laying on the ground in the same spot. Sister Sesay does not have enough money to get her to a hospital or to buy any medicine for her. Like I said this went on for about 2 weeks. This week I felt prompted to ask if she would like a Priesthood Blessing for her daughter. They accepted, so I picked Fatmata up off the ground and brought her inside. They asked me to give the blessing. I felt very good about the blessing. We then had a small lesson with the mother and left. A few hours later we walked by the house again, and came to see Fatmata smiling, running and working in their garden. We went over and asked how she was feeling, she said much, much better. We then talked to the mother who told us that right after we left, Fatmata got up and ran around in the street. She thanked us and told us how much they need that.
It was a great experience that just shows how our Heavenly Father uses His power to heal people today just like He did in the old times. I am grateful I got to be apart of it.
This week has been a really good and hard working week, and I am excited to do all over again this transfer.
