As
Paco was walking through the village, he heard a woman call out to a neighbor
in the street desperately asking for medicine.
Concerned, Paco appeared at the door to inquire about the need and ask
if he could pray for the patient. He was
rushed inside to find Don Francisco- hunched over, clutching his chest, and
spitting profusely. He had been stung by
a scorpion that morning (about 7 hours earlier), and, unable to find the
appropriate antidote medicine in the village, had progressed to this
life-threatening state.
Paco
immediately offered the scorpion-sting medication he carries with him when he
visits the Mixteca, knowing that it is a scorpion-filled region (pushing away
fears that he himself would be without medication the remainder of his
trip!). He recognized, undoubtedly, that
the Lord had put him outside Don Francisco’s door at that exact moment to be
the Lord’s instrument to save his life!
The
injection was administered directly into a vein in his arm. Though patients in this serious state usually
require 3 shots, within the hour of this single injection, Don Francisco was
notably improving! Paco prayed for him.
When
he visited him the following day, he was obviously recovering. Without doubt, Paco witnessed a healing
miracle!
