Priesthood Power is Real!‏

So this week has been pretty awesome! We have found a lot of awesome people. They were pretty much all referrals from the Spanish Sisters (since if they find anyone that speaks english they have to give it them to us) but usually they don't work out but this week all of them have been pretty awesome. One of them has been dead 13 times and was like wondering why God had kept him alive for something. I mean how perfect is that? 

So the main story that I would like to share with all of you actually happened last week. The sisters asked us to give a blessing to one of the people they were teaching. So we get there and turns out she is like the funniest person in the world. She's the best! She has been investigating the church off and on since 2007 and knows it's true but has a problem with commitment. She also had some some word of wisdom issues that she wasn't willing to give up. Then randomly like two weeks ago she just gave it up cold turkey. She realized that she needed to be a role model to her kids and just gave it all up! So anyways. We gave her a blessing of comfort and peace and when we were done she said "What was that?" And I was like uhhhhh what? maybe she thought it was weird or something. but then she went on to say, "That was crazy! I felt the power come from your hands and just spread throughout me and that was the coolest thing I have ever felt! That was powerful! I'm shaking" It was seriously the best thing ever! It's amazing how powerful the priesthood is and it was a humbling experience to be able to witness that. 
That experience mixed with hundreds of others strengthen my testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is his Church on the earth with the same power and authority that was on the earth in Christ's day! 

Love you all! have an awesome week!
