Today we had PDAY with the assistants. It was fun. We went to Huehuetenango again (yep waking up at 4am) and we drove to the Lagoon Madeline and had fun. I got my shoes all wet. This past week we also saw tons of miracles. Many many many. I wrote them in my electronic journal but I'll tell you my favorite out of the many just for an idea.
I had a strong impression on Tuesday to fill up my oil bottle with consecrated oil. I went to the temple and bought an oil container. In the district meeting I asked a missionary next to me for a drop of oil to fulfill the prompting I had that I should get some consecrated oil. I went through the day wondering when I would use it and wondering why I had that prompting. We went to the hospital with two missionaries that were on their way home but didn't use it there. Then I had to go to the office to help president with a bunch of stuff and finished up at 10:30pm. I thought, "Oh well, I guess I won't use it after all." We got home at 10:50pm and Elder Linares was still up which is very unusual. He was coughing like crazy and couldn't sleep at all. I went in my bed and said my prayers and prayed for a very long time and felt the spirit to a very strong degree. I felt I should ask him if he wanted a blessing.
As we blessed him, a flood of words and thoughts and ideas washed through my mind. I made myself a conduit for the Lord and told Elder Linares about his own prayers, his own desires and the strivings of his heart. It was a long blessing and I finished and closed in the name of Jesus Christ. I felt so happy to do that. He said "Gracias, gracias,gracias, gracias" while sobbing. We said a prayer of thanks for what had happened and all had a good night's sleep. Elder Linares has slept well every since. The last drop of recently blessed oil was used up.
I know that God lives, and based on the the experiences (countless might I add) that I've had.
I know that the priesthood has been restored.
In the mission office with Elder Price. A great man.
