A Blessing

Today I went to Salt Lake on a last minute trip. Why? Well... This morning after our volleyball class, V and I were walking to our next class and she was telling me that she had blurred vision out of one of her eyes. V was hoping that it would just go away so I set the info aside while I went to Institute. After Institute was over, I text V to see how her vision was. She had to go home! What?! She wasn't sick when I left her in front of the Social Science building! The blurred vision had led to a migraine and nausea. :( Oh no!!

I told her that I heard saltines or similar crackers usually help with nausea. Well, she didn't have any. (My bad... I ate them on Friday!) So my next thought was the doctors. They are no help. They just drug her with pain meds instead of trying to find the source of the pain! How annoying! Finally, I suggest a blessing and volunteered my dad. She agreed that it was a good idea. We got it all set up and I headed to practice. Then V decided that she would like a blessing from her grandpa in Salt Lake. That works. She was going to drive herself down because her brother had class. I DON'T THINK SO!!! There was no way I was going to let her drive that far alone. So after practice I headed over to V's place and pick her up. Thank heavens I was there! She was tired and obviously not up to driving!

When we got to her grandparents house, we only waited a few minutes before her grandpa and one of his friends were ready to give her a blessing. Wow!! There was such a strong presence of the Spirit there before they even laid their hands on her head. During the blessing, the Spirit only got stronger! I started tearing up and I wasn't the one getting blessed. I'm so glad that V had the chance to get a blessing and that there were people in her life that were able to help! I know everything will work out and she is going to be completely healthy again!

After her blessing, we just hung out at her grandparents house. Dinner was amazing! Then we looked at family photo albums. That was so fun. :) Thanks for everything V!!

GET BETTER FAST!!!!!!
