Dear Shanell,

I had a great experience. The Spirit told me one night at about 12:30 am to go give a blessing to one of the sister missionaries who suffers extremely from hay fever. I woke up my companion and I got dressed in my suit and he threw on some jeans and a t-shirt to give a blessing. Anyway, we woke her up and my companion anointed and I acted as the instrument of God in giving a blessing. I was scared! I didn't know what I was going to say, but after I started, the Spirit put words in my mouth! She was promised in the blessing that God would not let her suffer as long as she was in His service according to her faith. The next day, she did not suffer at all! The priesthood heals! I know it! It was humbling to be able to act in God's name. I love my mission! I hate to say that I felt pushed to go on a mission--from you, my family and your family. But, I'm so thankful I was pushed. Transfers are coming up in about 6 days. I'm hoping to be made a trainer.

Thank you again for your support!
