I'm grateful for Priesthood experiences

[pam]

I just had to share this because I seriously am so grateful for you men that are willing and able to use your Priesthood in giving blessings when they are needed.

Long story short, a couple of weeks ago I had a mini stroke which caused me to fall completely back down a flight of stairs and hit my head on the concrete slab at the bottom.  That happened on a Saturday in New Hampshire while visiting my daughter.

Once I returned home I attempted to contact people in my ward and ask for a Priesthood blessing.  No one returned my phone call.

On Thursday I was attending my weekly BYU-I Pathway program gathering and I asked a couple of the men in my class if they would be willing to give me a blessing.  They jumped at the chance.  The one that did the annointing does not speak English that well. So he did it in his native tongue of Portuguese.  It was the most beautiful thing ever.  I was in tears as the Spirit was so strong even though I couldn't understand anything he said.  The other man that did the blessing gave the most wonderful blessing.  Let's just say it was probably the most beautiful blessing experience I've ever had.  

I realized once again that night that it doesn't matter what language you speak, the Priesthood works in the same way.

So thank you to you men who remain worthy and are so willing to use your Priesthood in cases like this.

Fun fact I learned 2 1/2 years ago: If you don't want a long wait in the ER, just walk in with stroke symptoms (bonus: the urgent care facility doesn't even want to mess with that - so go straight to the ER to start with).

I say this and it's my opinion .......perhaps those other brethren did not return your calls because the two who gave the blessing were the ones who needed to ....Lord works in mysterious ways.   Again .....my opinion.
