We were at Sister Eirhart's house (less-active) and she was in a lot of pain because she had fallen the day before when she was taking her dog out to the bathroom. She also had a knee replacement a couple weeks prior which added to the pain. Her fall caused her to pull a lot of things in her knee (i.e., LCL, MCL, and ACL). Ouch! She is basically stuck on the couch because she can't do much walking with her knees like that. We asked her if she would like a blessing from the Elders – and she agreed – so we asked the Elders to come over. The Elders came promptly and Elder Liechty gave her a beautiful blessing. After the blessing, she stood up with ease and had a huge smile on her face. She said that most of the pain had gone away and that she has not been able to stand up that swiftly since before her surgery. What a blessing! The priesthood is real and it does perform miracles.
Sister Simons – another less-active in our ward – gave this hilarious prayer...
Bless this food, and bless this meat.
Thank you Lord, now can we eat?
She has quite the sense of humor and we all couldn't help but laugh. She has a strong testimony – but being seriously ill – has kept her from attending Sacrament meeting. We were able to go over to her house and watch General Conference with her husband and the Elders. Brother Simons is so sweet – he had snacks for us and made us lunch after both of the morning sessions. I love that family! They were both baptized about 5 years ago and have been sealed in the temple for time and eternity.
Some favorite quotes from Conference:
- "The guilty take the truth to be hard." – Lynn G. Robbins
- "The Gospel of Jesus Christ opens the path to who we can become." – D. Todd Christofferson
Conference was amazing! There were so many amazing talks and the Spirit was so strong. Love it!
We had Zone training this week and were able to watch the new film "Meet the Mormons." Love it! It was so good and it is coming to theaters pretty soon. I am pretty sure that all of the missionaries cried during the last part of the movie because it was so good.
Misionera Amor!
