There is always something we can learn

We had a pretty good and productive week.  So the area of Brasil is doing a program where they have names of families that live in our area and they pray about it then assign several people to go out and visit the families.  We recieved three families to visit.  Turns out they lived super far away but we had nothing to do that day and these families needed to be visit before Sunday.  So we started walking and a good 45 minutes later we found the house, all excited we knocked on the door just to find out that she does not live there anymore but we got her new address and started walking some more.  After a good hour we finally got to her street which turned out to be a huge hill.  We had already walked a ton so we walked up the hill and knocked on her door.  Turns out she was home and has not gone to church for 13 years but she has been praying for help latley and what do you know we end up showing up at her door.  Now she has sons and daughters who are old enough to hear the gospel and it went really well.  It was honestly a miracle that we found her house and was a testimony builder for me.  We also had another experience where we recieved a call from the President of the mission telling us there was a member in the hospital in need of a blessing.  He was about to have surgery and we only had about 30 minutes until he went in.  We were on the other side of our area but we got on a bus and ran over there.  He is a member of another Ward but has been a member for over 30 years and it was a very humbling experience.  We were able to give him a blessing and some words of encouragement.  Everything happens for a reason I know that for a fact.  I am grateful for the good times and the bad, there is always something we can learn.  Thanks for the love and support.
