Mission Miracle from Elder Alex Jepsen

It does feel like there is a plan in all this struggling, and that there will be miracles brought forth. On Sunday, Lidia bore her testimony about Priesthood blessings because we had give Adi, her nephew, a blessing about a week and 1/2 earlier. As you know they are a huge family and only Lidia, Roxi, and her inactive father are members. The nephew had been having an unceasing string of seizures and finally had worn out his body and was asleep. We went over and his mom, who isn't a member, who was so emotionally worn out asked us to give him a blessing while he slept. She listened to the blessing along with Lidia and Alinuta, her 7 year old niece as we blessed him that his current sickness was for both his and his family's good, and would not last "but a moment". The next day it got worse, and he got put in the hospital for about a week. The doctors were scared that they would have nothing to do, but last Friday and Saturday he simply returned to his normal state. He returned just as he was before. The doctors were amazed and let him return home. Lidia and his mom were watching at home as he played just like before saying "how did he get back the same, this is amazing?" It was then the little girl Alinuta who said (not remembering our names) "Remember those missionaries? They said it would only be for a short time that he would be sick, that's why he's back to normal!" They had both forgotten that and were stunned at the wisdom of the little girl. Healing really does happen now, and is a sign of the complete healing that will happen when the Savior comes again. It was really special experience.
