Family,
Man Bradford is just great right now! I really love it here I had a pretty cool experience happen to me this week that was a real testimony builder! A while backwhile I was serving in Grimsby, I got a call from one of the young women in the ward saying she needed a blessing. I'm like okay... we'll be over in an hour! We started over on the way there, and I got a call from bishop telling me the situation Sarah was in! He told me that her mission call had just been appealed because of a health issue and that she was trying to get it reinstated! Bishop said the chances of this happening and getting her papers reinstated weren't the best and was very unlikely, he told me not do or say anything crazy during the blessing, having been told this I got there confused and kind of scared! I talked to Sarah a little more about the situation and her hopes weren't the best! She told me she basically just wanted a comfort blessing to comfort her! I asked her to see if she thought there was any chance and she didn't really seem too hopeful! She said she had been going through this whole long process of interviews and it wasn't looking too good! So I basically went into the blessing with the mindset that this blessing was just a comfort blessing for her to find peace from this hard time! I placed my hands on her head and started giving her the blessing! Half way through, I got the strongest impression to tell her that she was going on a mission! I'm like there's no way? I pushed the feeling away and continued on. Sure enough the longer I went on with the blessing the stronger the impression came! Finally it came to the end of the blessing and I was about to close and the impression came again stronger than ever! So I paused for a second and then it just came out! I can't remember exactly what was said but I remember saying that soon she would be walking amongst people in a foreign land serving the Lord as a missionary for his church! That there were people that the Lord was preparing right now that are waiting for her! When the words came out I remember the spirit just being so strong! She was sobbing I remember my companion looking up and staring at me like what did I just do? But I remember in that moment the spirit whispering to me that that was what needed to be said and that is what the Lord wanted to tell her! I closed the blessing and right after the blessing was shocked! She asked me if I was sure? I told her that I didn't say it the Lord said I was just his vessel! Even Elder Mcctavish thought I was nuts! Anyway about a day ago I got an email from her and this is what it said:
