While tracting one day, we received a phone call from a very distressed member of our ward asking us to come over immediately. As we arrived, we were confronted with an extremely upset family and a woman that we had never seen before, who was on the edge of hysteria. The family explained to us that this woman, whom was a close family friend of theirs, was in need of a priesthood blessing, for a problem that she was having with her eye. Roughly 5 years previously, this woman had a strange thing happen to her left eye in which, from what I understood, a blood vessel had ruptured and blood had started entering her eye. She went to a doctor to see what could be done and was informed that there were no current procedures that would be able to help. Within 3 days she had lost sight in her left eye completely, and remained blind in her left eye. Now the same thing had happened in her right eye, with blood descending out of nowhere to cloud this sister's vision. She, having learned from her previous mistake, went immediately to the doctor who gave her the same unfortunate news.. there was nothing to be done.. and she would most likely lose the vision in her remaining eye due to complications. And that is why we were called, she told us bluntly, she needed a miracle. We prayed as a companionship, and then explained to this sister what a blessing entails, explaining that if she had sufficient faith, and it was the will of God, she would be healed. We then laid our hands on her head and pronounced a blessing. While my companion was giving the blessing, she began to sob and tremble.. When the blessing was complete, she stood up from her chair and started to praise the Lord. She explained that the exact moment in which she had been commanded to be healed in the blessing, she felt the blood leave her eye. She was indeed made whole that day. The doctors had no explanation for how this happened, none that they could understand or scientifically prove, but we know that it was the Lord acting through His priesthood here on Earth that changed the life of this woman, the family, and the young missionaries that were able to witness this great miracle. Through faith and proper authority, all things may be accomplished. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to witness such a miracle in my life, and even more so to play a role in it.

Miracle 137: A Powerful Priesthood Blessing
This miracle is from a missionary in Texas! We love how powerful God's hand truly is.
