photoooooosssss!

i know mom and dad are going to be happy. :)

i have a quick story to share with you and then some photos!
hereeeee weeeee goooooo!

A Muslim woman clad in her black gown, exposing her lovely face stumbled into the ward complaining of back pain so severe that she could hardly lift her leg to take a step. I grabbed a student nurse to come and translate and was pleasantly surprised when she responded clearly in English. Between her winces she shared that she usually goes to a Muslim women’s hospital and was not feeling comfortable with men being around. The pain became so severe that she was endlessly crying out “Allah”. She begged for us to pr*y for her. I shared that we would pr*y in the name of J*sus and after resisting slightly she agreed. Shortly after her groans for “Allah” became groans for “J*sus”. We remained by her side since she was feeling insecure; she continued to whimper until it was time for her to consult the doctor. At that point she claimed that she couldn’t move because her vision was so blurry and the dizziness was so intense. She again quickly asked if I could pr*y, this time, specifically in the name of J*sus. I pr*yed a simple pr*yer for the “dizziness to be gone in the name of J*sus”. I asked her if she felt better. She looked me in the eyes and said, “Yes, Doctor, I am better”. She proceeded to get treatment for her back pain and left, having felt the touch of J*sus.

Yipee!!!!
