Just after I turned seven I got a skin disease on my head and body. It was bad. My parents took me to the doctors and they called it psoriasis. Then I went to three other specialists and they said nothing much could be done except to try to control it.
Sometimes I would go to spend the night with my grandparents, and Grandmother would take me to the Christian Science Sunday School. I learned a lot about God and how He made us in His own image and likeness. My grandmother always said to me that God made us all perfect. My parents did not go to any church.
After about a year my grandmother asked my parents if they would like to get help through Christian Science, since the medical treatments were not helping, and they said "Yes." We stopped the medical treatments, and my grandmother called a Christian Science practitioner, who prayed for me. I thought it would work and God would heal me. And He did!
