This week's personal history writing comes from Ashley Millett of the Discovery Park Ward.  The prompt invited you to write about a time when you have heard the voice of the Lord, as the Nephites did in 3 Nephi 11.  Ashley heard the Lord's voice through reading the scriptures.  Thank you for sharing your experience Ashley!

This weekend all my kids were sick. My little 7 month old was miserable with an ear infection. It was the weekend and all after hours were closed at the time. I was reading the scriptures and the distinct thought came to me "The Lord can heal him."  I stood up asked my husband to give him a blessing and call a neighbor to assist with the blessing. Through the screaming of my little guy, my husband was more direct than I'd ever heard him in a blessing promising healing through Priesthood power. I  again felt the reassurance that the Lord would heal him. The next day he was still grumpy but not constantly screaming and by the evening he was back to his happy self. It was small incredible mercy the Lord gave to us on late weekend night with a little baby in pain.
