Dear Family & Friends,
My time is super short cuz its my last P-Day before i get into the mission field, so everything is super busy, and i dont have a lot of emailing time left. I wrote mom and told her about my experience giving a blessing but i wanted to share with the rest of the family.
So last tuesday i was teaching My teacher Brother Yamada as he was pretending to be an investigator named casey, and at the beggining of our 3rd lesson he was rubbing his shoulder alot. we asked him if everythign was okay, and he said that his shoulder was hurting super bad, and he wasnt faking it. and then We asked if he wanted a healing Blessing. We then explained what a Blessing was, and how we give them. We asked him again if he wanted one, and he said sure. So i asked him what His REAL name was, and He told us His legal name was, Spencer Humio Yamada. My companion was going to Annoint the Oil, and me seal the Oil, and give him a blessing. I made my faith overcome my fear, so i wasnt very nervous, even though i thought i would be since it was my first blessing. So i had a lot of faith that it would go well, and that the spirit would tell me what to say. We then proceded, He annointed the oil, and I sealed it and gave him a blessing.
The week before i was having a question about why when you feel the Holy Ghost super powerfully, it makes your body feel tired and weak and exhausted. Like examples are 1 nephi chapter 1 when lehi is tired after feeling the spirit and lays down, 1 nephi 17:47 when nephi feels the spirit and is week, and ammon in alma 27:17, and Moses in Moses 1:9-10. Giving the Blessing was an example and a learning lesson for me, of how true this is. My Legs and Arms were shaky, and trembling while i gave the blessing, and i felt like my legs were going to give out, and me fall over. This was The Holy Ghost leaving my body, into Spencer Yamada's So that the Holy Ghost could heal him, and make him better. Then A Guy named Brother Mclay told me the story of when Jesus was walking through the multitudes and asked who touched him. And it was the Old Lady with a bleeding problem, and she knew that if she touched Jesus's Garment or clothing she would be healed. and Mark 5:30 says "Jesus immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him." the footnote for virtue is strength and power. So jesus felt himself get a little tired and thats how he knew someone touched him. Some of the Holy Ghost left Jesus, and went into the woman to heal her, and make her become pure, and clean, and spotless. and this is how i felt during my blessing that i gave. The blessing was super powerful and amazing, words just came to me, and i knew what i needed to say. It was an amazing experience, and My companion Elder Copeland said it was a Powerful Blessing. I have 30 seconds left of writing time. So i gotta go. I love you All. And Im greatful for all the Influence you have been to me in my life. I love you family and friends
Love Elder Durocher
