We taught our first lesson to an investigator. It went ok. I remember though trying to work out if some of these ‘investigators’ were real or not. They seemed real; but who would volunteer to come into an MTC? Turned out they were all members, of course.
As the district leader, missionaries would come to me if they had questions or other things. Sister Jensen, one of the sisters in the district, approached me and asked if I could give her a blessing as she was feeling ill. I was taken back! I had only anointed with oil, and that was once! I asked my companion Elder Pula to assist and after we had reviewed the wording, anointed, and as I sealed the anointing, I felt the powers of heaven. We both felt a rich, warm spirit enter into the room as if angels were around us. I wrote in my journal, “When I blessed, if felt incredible! I could feel the power channeling through me to her. It was amazing! ... Afterwards I felt so warm and humbled that the Lord had allowed me to do the ordinance.”
