How do you feel?

Not good.

When will Papai give us a blessing?

Soon. Brother Ramos is on his way to help.

Why didn’t it work? I still feel sick!

Me too.

Be patient. Sometimes blessings from the Lord take time. But I know He heard our prayers.

Now it’s time to rest so you can heal.

A few days later …

I feel great today! I’m so glad Heavenly Father helped us get better.

Me too. I’m grateful for the priesthood!
