My healing on a hiking trip

Mathias

I would like to share a healing I had on a three-day hiking trip while at a Christian Science summer camp in Colorado last year.

I was having a great time hiking up a mountain. But I got really tired. When I reached the peak, I lay down to rest. A counselor suggested that I eat some food. I did, but I started to feel worse. 

On the way down, I started to have a bad stomachache and headache. I told my counselors, and one of them prayed with me and sang hymns to me as we continued to hike down. Throughout the descent, the counselor stopped with me whenever I needed to rest.
