So I'm sadly missed the last session of conference this Sunday. We had an awesome experience with our investigator Brandon throughout all other previous 4 sessions (including priesthood), I could see in his eyes that this was feeding the spiritual hunger he didn't know that he had! We had all met as a group here at the church to watch the Sunday sessions of conference, and had a potluck in between sessions. after the potluck, I laid down joking that I'd need a nap so i didn't sleep through the next session. Brandon our investigator followed suit, and the next thing I knew he had fallen asleep, though intriguingly his head slowly curled up and to the right. I walked into the next room with my comp, and a member named cathy ran to us "Elders! he's having a seizure." We ran in to find his fellowshipper Dennis holding him in recovery position, and he grabbed our keys and were off to the hospital.
Well, after getting a tylenol and a pat on the back we were sent back out with brandon. Worried about him staying alone in his tent that night (He's currently homeless, and a recovering addict so we didn't want him do any more harm to him in the tent) we sought out our options to help him that night. We didn't have much to work with, with such few members here, but after approval from our mission president, Brandon stayed in the apartment we use for the church, along with His Fellowhsipper Dennis.
In Helping Brandon this time, among many smaller incidences, I've leaned that Love and charity truly effect the hearts of those who we apply them too. Our actions are truly the strongest testimony out there, as the saying goes "Action's speak louder than words" and I'm grateful for awesome parents who taught me this with their examples simply enough from my birth 😁
I love you guys! have an awesome week!
