It was actually a really good week, we taught some good lessons and we also gave a priesthood blessing to a little girl that is very sick. She has epilepsy or something, she has seizures and is always twitching and her body is so exhausted by the attacks that she can't walk by herself. It was hard, it is hard, to see little kids that have to suffer like this, I can only imagine how hard it is for their Heavenly Father to have to see them suffer in a life of trials and probation.
We taught a lesson to her mom (inactive member) and aunt (investigator) and she just sat there in the lesson, her face very sad, and tired, and serious. Shes is 6 and has had to mature fast to be able to deal with her problems. We had a very spiritual lesson about the plan of salvation and then gave the little girl a blessing. It was probably the most spiritual and special priesthood blessing I have given on my mission. The spirit was super strong afterward, the mom was crying and everybody else was very solemn and reverent.
Nothing compares with the Spirit. I love the Spirit. It doesn't matter where you are, or what trials you have in life, if you have the Spirit you will be at peace and will be happy. One of my heroes Elder Packer died this week and if there was one thing that he always spoke about it was the power, the importance, and the mercy of the Spirit.
We also met a really cool family this week. We taught them about the importance of the family and they both started to tell us how much they want and need God in their lives because they are going through a lot of problems as a family. The husband is a policeman, and policemen in Mexico have to deal with the worst of the worst, so it's hard for him to have a family life and the professional life that he has to deal with every day. It was a really good lesson and afterward they fed us, first lesson and BOOM food, golden investigators.
