Priesthood Blessings

My pink eye or whatever you want to call it has vanished! I wore sun glasses for a good 3 days to cover it up. no big deal. Last Sunday was missionary Sunday and Yes, I taught Elder quorum again.  I love teaching that class now.  But its so different here than it is back home.  They actually participate here and they answer all the questions that are asked, so all I have to do is guide the discussion and ask inspired questions (look in the manuel for questions) to get them thinking.  Its GREAT!

So this week was good.  We were finally able to start my companion's training and get him into mission life.  He is doing really well. He is learning the lessons and the teaching material really fast so its good! Im glad to finally be senior companion now.  Its nice not having to be the young one taking all the advice from your senior comp.  Now I can run things how I want to.  Its sweet!  Me and my companion have a really good time together.  We get along great! And did you guys send a package to Elder Osayi?  I read in a letter that you sent something but I dont know if it was that letter or if it was a package?

Cool thing happened this week.  Me and Elder Avornu were walking down Train Track, which is one of the main areas that we proselyte in, when a lady came running over to us saying that one of our members were sick.  We went over and saw that it was Samuel Johnson.  He was baptized about 2 months ago.  He was laying down on one of his benches and didn't look good at all.  They had put a cold rag on him because he said he was hot and that his stomach was hurting.  I told him about the verse in the bible that tells people if they are sick that they should call upon the Elders of the Church to bless them.  So we told him that it was his choice and that by his faith he could be made whole.  He told us that he wanted one, so we went inside his house and we gave him a blessing.  We told him that he would be alright and he needed to get some rest.  The next day we were walking down the same way and the lady who called us over told us that he was doing a lot better today.  We asked where he was and she said he had gone out.  As we walked farther down the road, we saw this kid with a big smile running up to us.  This was not the same kid we saw yesterday. He looked like crap yesterday. It made me and my companion excited because we know that it was because of his faith and the priesthood.  When they say you can be called upon at anytime to use your priesthood, its a real thing.  We were heading to a lesson and then out of no where we were asked to give a blessing.  The power of the priesthood is incredible.  WE SHOULD NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ITS POWER.

Bishop Norman getting changed was some shocking news last week!  But Brian will be a way good bishop! His name actually popped in my head this last week when I was thinking about who would be the next bishop.  That will be way cool.

I love you all!! Keep me updated on life! and Send pictures!!

Love Elder Zaugg
