THE POWER OF A BLESSING

I know that women are trying to start a movement about the priesthood and how "We the Women" need to withhold it. Now, I don't think its necessary to possess that calling. I'm not going to talk about that. I am going to talk about the blessing of having the priesthood in my house.

Growing up, my father has been in and out of evangelical churches. For a long time we didn't attend any church. The sister missionaries started talking to my brother, then they started talking to my dad. Ever since the sister missionaries started talking to our family everything changed. Although our family sees it as a blessing, others disagreed. They started thinking that we were joining something terrible, some of those people understand now that the church is the same as any other church, with one purpose to share the gospel. Others in the other hand still ridicule us because of what they hear others say, until they see what we see, until they get to experience what we do, they will understand that being part of the church isn't wrong. 

Just about 3 weeks ago my grandmother was sick, she had an ear infection. My father and I went over to see what we could do in order to help. I had to give her medicine in order to ease the pain and stop the itching. I tried my very best but when I thought I couldn't help anymore. I saw my father stand before his mom, and he told her "mom, I have the best remedy to cure that ear infection", she said " do whatever you have to do in order to take this away." With great faith he gave my grandmother a blessing, we said our goodbyes and we took off. Later on that day, they called my father and told him that my grandma didn't have that ear infection anymore.

Yesterday, she called my dad and asked him, if he could go to my uncles house and give him a blessing. He followed instructions and he went over. All I know is that, the people who were so against us becoming "Mormon" are now in need of receiving a blessing, and that man they once ridiculed is the one giving them the blessing. I'm so grateful for the priesthood, I'm blessed to have not one but two men that sustain the priesthood. I could see that Our Heavenly Father has used my father to testify that this church is true by setting an example and following the prompts of the holy ghost.

I testify that I know that the church is true, that the gospel was sent here to guide us, and that if we follow the promptings of the holy ghost we will end up in a righteous path. I know that if we follow the commandments we will receive many blessings. I know that if we patiently endure we will blessed.
