Yep. That’s my week.
LOL, just kidding!!
Hi, friends! How’s life? Mine’s great.
So, I have a really cool miracle story from this week, and I'm
really excited to share it, so I'm just going to skip to that part of the week,
okay? Good. Because that's what I'm going to do XD
So, last week I told you about the random text we got from Ange
last week, right? Well, Sunday, he told us that he had just gotten back
from Paris and gave us his new number. Then on Thursday, he texted us again,
from a different number. So we saved the second one. Then, on
Friday, we get this random call from Ange, and he's says that he's in the
hospital, and that we should come visit him. We were confused. But,
nonetheless, we set out to visit him after he sent us the information for the
station he's in. So, we get to the hospital, and find a map, and can't find the
station. We headed to the information desk. The nurse at the desk pulled out a
smaller map and showed us where to go with a marker. We finally made it to his
room, and found out that he's been hospitalized simply because of a severe
alcohol addiction. While he was telling us this, he also told us several times
that he just wants to be done with it. He wants to set a good example for his 5
kids, and not be controlled by alcohol, or other addiction. Sister Bates and I
got very excited when we heard that and ended up writing him a little
"spiritual prescription" that includes daily prayer twice a day, 5
minutes of daily scripture study, and weekly church attendance. He said that
he's going to follow it like he does his medical prescription. Saturday,
we went to our next appointment with Ange, and he said that he'd prayed that
morning but not the night before (they'd drugged him with sleeping pills and he
forgot). But he's been doing really well. He asked us to write down specific
chapters for him to read from the Book of Mormon, and Sister Bates, little smarty-pants
she is, thought it would be a good idea to give him stories to read instead. So
we wrote down several stores, like Nephi and company leaving Jerusalem, and
Alma the youngers’ conversion story, and the Sons of Mosiah, and a few others.
It was a really powerful couple days.
The rest of the week was relatively uneventful. it was really
cool to see Ange have that desire to change. Please pray for him, as well. He's
been brought really low, and needs all the help he can get. Prayer rolls would
be great, too, if possible. Thank you!
I love you all, and hope you're having a great time with life. I
pray for you often, and love to hear your stories. :D
