‘Christian Science had a better answer’

Xuxa Nunez

While volunteering at a local food bank, I moved a really heavy box of cucumbers for my coworkers. At home that night, it hurt to breathe.

I thought the pain would probably go away by morning, but I tossed and turned all night and couldn’t sleep because of the pain.

When after a few days I still didn’t feel any better, my mom scheduled a doctor’s appointment for two days later, since my family is used to going to doctors. It still hadn’t hit me that I could use what I’d been learning about Christian Science to pray about and heal this issue.
