Didn't spent much time chatting with Jeannie this week but I am so glad that she is getting along really well with her companion. Her area is huge and so she has the car and the Elders has to ride on bikes. On preparation day, she let the Elders use their car while Jeannie and her companion took their bikes and ride uphill for six miles. They were tired afterwards and Jeannie had a huge pain on her leg... thank goodness that it's only one night and her pain was gone the next day. Thanks to the Lord for answering her prayer and strengthening her testimony. Watching her video reminds me of her riding on the bike for the first time when she was five. We were in Lubbock and Evan was just born. She asked for a bike and we took her to the park but then she was sacred about falling and whined and didn't want to learn anymore. Her look and her fear on the face still vividly living in my mind. And surprisingly, it didn't change much as I watched this video! :)
"That night, we get to dinner and my legs start tingling. It started in my knees and went up into my thighs. And when we got home that night I literally thought I was going to die. At that point, I felt like if I cut off my legs, I'd probably be in better shape, because it hurt like. I can't even compare, but either way, it was more than anything I've ever known. And there I was, dying. And I got down and started kneeling to pray, and I said, "Heavenly Father. I know you know how much this hurts, so I hope you know how much I need help right now too." And so I prayed. And we got some painkillers too. But the next morning, I woke up and holy cow. It was as if nothing's happened. Ever. No pain. At all. And I haven't felt any since. Which really shows the power of prayer. It's never worked so quick for me, but when I needed it, there it was. How blessed we are."
