[Original in Spanish]
The desire to know more of God led me to take the first steps to have Christian Science class, at a time when human circumstances were telling me it was an impossible project to accomplish. I didn't have a fixed income to enable me to finance the journey and other expenses. Also, there was a problem taking exams, in another field of study, that coincided with the dates of the class. Various negative details were mounting, but I knew that Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health (p. 1), "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds." Nothing could impede my desire to know more about the good of God.
The idea developed, passing right over the obstacles. But, less than two months before class, a longstanding illness of my grandmother's resulted in hospitalization for an operation. This situation threatened my journey. This new circumstance demanded specific prayer for myself. I felt that the good this activity of class represented was included in God's plan and could not be suppressed or postponed. Without any human reason to explain how, my grandmother's illness was cured without surgery. And when it came time for me to make my journey, she was at home with us, almost totally recuperated.
