Words can't convey the beauty of some things in this world. I knew this from the start. I have so many things I wish to express in this blog post; no words I use would justify what I have learned and seen.
I have seen my friend Ophelia in excruciating pain, paralyzed because of the cancer in her spine. And I have seen her one week later, moving on her own and free from pain ...without the help of modern medicine or chemotherapy. The change in Ophelia is indescribable. She went from looking like an old, forlorn dying woman to a content and capable mother in the course of one week. She is still weak and stays in bed to recover her strength, but last Wednesday she described what happened and told me she knows it is a miracle. Ophelia was in a lot of pain; the doctors gave her until Sept. 1st of this year to live, and stopped treating her with medicines. One afternoon she heard a voice say, "You will feel intense pain for a moment but then you will be healed." She felt pain so intense that she said everything went black for a minute - when she woke up she was calling out to her husband and sitting up in bed by her own strength. She hasn't sat up in bed since April! Seeing the change in her this summer was amazing - and to know that it is not because of medicine and to see that prayer works was intense.
That is all I have time to share now. My last 2 weeks are flying by and it has been action packed. I hope to update everyone once I return home August 4th! I can't wait to see everyone!
Much love!
