Playing "Story Catch Up"

I (David) sent out an email to our team that travels to Jonesboro asking for stories that they could remember. Below is a reply from Dolly:

There are 2 healing I remember vividly. First, the man who regularly walked the neighborhood but after injuring his foot had not been able to for several weeks. One of the team and I prayed for his foot and it felt better instantly. We continued to knock on doors and a short time later, we saw him out walking in the neighborhood.
(This man was known in his neighborhood for being a "walker". He was continually walking through the neighborhood. When he went to the store, he walked. Over the past two weeks his friends had begun asking him why they didn't see him out and about like they normally do. He would answer that he had injured his foot pretty bad and he couldn't walk for more than a minute or two without pain, so he was staying at home. After our team prayed he was overjoyed when his foot got instantly healed. - David)

Second, I was showing a newly spirit-filled believer named Ashley how we knock on doors, the first door we knocked lets us in. We asked what he needed. He said that he was a boxer who had dislocated his shoulder 3 months ago and it still hurt and would make several pops when he moved it. We laid hands on his shoulder and prayed then asked him to do something to check the healing. He moved his shoulder, he's eyes brightened, he said what did you do, and wanted to look at our hands to see if there was something different about our hands.
(One week later, we went back to check on him and he was still praising God for his complete healing. Because of the miracle, his cousin gave her life to the Lord. We ministered to her through words of knowledge and prophecy and she was really touched. It was awesome. - David)

Later that same day,when we got back to the car. Ashley asked for prayer for herself. Her ankle that had been swollen for 2 years was no longer swollen after prayer. Her leg that would hurt when she ran felt better instantly. And we prayed for a cyst to be removed from her ovaries--we need to check back with her about that.
I also remember the infant with gas pains, you and I laid hands on, and the mom said that right after we left the baby was fine. (the mom said the baby had not slept good in days and she was really worried. she was just about to take the baby to the doctors but didn't need to after we prayed. - David)

I remember many times pain stopping instantly, but don't remember all the details at this time.

Note: This is only the tip of the iceberg....
