August 1 Count your many blessings

Hello everyone! It seems I survived another week out here in the

jungle. We had a great week and I felt like we were very blessed, we

had a really cool experience on thursday when a less active got ahold

of us and asked if we could come and give her baby son a blessing, she

said that she had taken him to the doctor and he had high fevers and

couldn't sleep through the night very well. We came by and blessed the

baby, the next morning she called us again asking us to give another

blessing, we weren't sure if she understood that it would probably be

a little soon to give her son another blessing if he was still sick

but when we got there we found out that she actually didn't want the

blessing for her son, but for her little brother! Her son had made a

full recovery and was running around and smiling. She was so impressed

she wanted us to come give her little brother a blessing too since he

had a cold. It was a great testimony builder for me and also the power

of the priesthood. I also went on exchanges with a mini missionary who

is serving temporarily named Jason, while on exchanges we helped

someone assemble an antenna! It was an old guyanese man named 'S.'

He was so happy for our help and said "Me been breakin me head all dey

tryin to do dis. me been prayin to god for en angel!" hahah it was so

great he was an awesome guy. I love this area and the people are

wonderful. 'A' came to church and is still on track for his date on

the 20th! I hope you all continue to do well, have a great week!

Lobi!
