Zack Has Had a Miracle!

We have experienced a true miracle!  Elder Zack Stidham has been sick for 5 months with different ailments.   He was severely sick since March, which led to an emergency transfer for him to work in the mission home under the close supervision of his Mission President.  He was hospitalized many times and saw the doctor at least 3 times a week for months.  He was on bed rest for some of that time.  We greatly appreciate all the prayers and fasts that were made for our family and our Missionary!  We knew that Zack was getting worse and was going to be sent home.  He was devastated.  He pleaded, and begged not to be sent home.  On May 4th, his Mission President decided to take him and a group of missionaries to the temple.  While in the temple, Zack received a very clear revelation that it was time for him to stop fighting it and go home to get healthy.  He cried a lot and told the Lord that he would obey His will.  After the temple session he received a powerful blessing from his Mission President telling him he would be completely healed and be able to continue serving his mission.  He was so conflicted.  But starting the next day and the following few days, Zack’s health and strength returned.  He was healed, completely.  Without any symptoms.  He feels like as soon as he submitted his will to the Lord, he was healed.  We have all learned a powerful lesson about patience, and prayer, and the Lords timing verses our own.  Elder Stidham says: “After having an interview with my mission president he knew that I truly had no desire to return home and that I was close. Although I had received many priesthood blessings during this illness, he asked if it would be all right to give me another. I can honestly say that I have never witnessed anything like those moments. It was indescribably powerful and the Spirit filled the room. Ever since that blessing I have been 1,000 times better and I have little to no symptoms at all, that just 2 weeks ago had me in bed 24/7. I have learned so much about the Lords timing during this trial and want to thank each and every one of you for your support and Prayers!! Miracles exist and they take place every day, we just have to open our eyes and have Faith to see them!”
