She began to tell us that she had severe pain in her back and hips. The pain was so bad she couldn't walk or stand. My partner prayed for her and she said she felt better. We asked her to tell us exactly how she was feeling. She responded saying that her area of injury was hot and tingling, this was a sure sign that the spirit was moving.
Then I began to pray for my dear Rose. I placed my hands directly on her hips. As I prayed she prayed right along with me in Acholi. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. When we finished praying she could stand. We prayed again. Rose said she didn't feel better but she felt like there were angels in the room and that more were on their way. We prayed again. When the final Amen rang, she popped her head up and never in my whole life had one word been so powerful. All she said was "watch." She proceeded to walk across the room with no imperfections. She could walk. Rose was healed.
The funny thing is that right before this my partner had been feeling sick. She asked me to pray for her and I jokingly told her that God had not given me the gift of healing. He proved me wrong within the course of an hour!
After Rose had been healed she decided to give us all Acholi names. She saved me for last. She named me Auwma. I asked her what it meant and she responded saying that it was a family name. It was also her name. She told me that she wanted to gave me a name of honor. She told me that now I am one with her and her family. There is no greater honor. I belong to an Acholi family. Auwma will always remind me of this trip and the freedom that I found.
Lots of Love,
Katy Auwma
