There is a young father in our ward who has been on dialysis for several years now as he has been waiting for a kidney and pancreas transplant. They have never been able to find a match for him. Our bishop has met with the family many times and asked about doing a ward fast for him, but he wanted to wait until he was going through surgery.
He kept getting sicker and sicker, and a few weeks ago his wife's visiting teacher asked about a fast, and they agreed. This visiting teacher called the Relief Society president, it was brought up in ward council, and they decided that today would be a fast for him. Last week the fast was started with a prayer.
Saturday morning a match was found. During fast and testimony meeting the ward was fasting while he was going through surgery. God is in charge, and testimonies were strengthened today.
