♡ Went on exchanges

MIRACLE/SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
This week during exchanges we had a lesson cancel last minute. I was trying to think of something that could fill the time and honestly I wanted it to be anything but finding because we had already been outside doing that for so long that day. (And its cold) I said a prayer and than told the sister I was on exchanges with that I felt like we needed to have a member lesson with a specific member. I texted the member and turned out she was at the institute building and told us we could go stop by. We went over to the institute building and I still had no clue why we needed to visit with her and what to share. (We see this member a lot and so I really didn't understand why it was this important to go visit her but I felt impressed so we went with it) We decided to share a christmas message. We shared a christmas message and the message went good and than I left her with a prayer. Usually I pray for the people we meet with and since I knew this member well I prayed for the things she's opened up to us about. In specific she was stressed about getting a blood test by the time she needed it because it didn't look like she was going to be able to. I prayed that everything would work out with that, and left not thinking much about the prayer. The next day this sister in our ward texted us saying after we left she felt prompted to check the appointments for her blood test again and there was one open an hour after we were there. She said she knew it was an answer to prayer. It also made me feel better about the situation because I had just dragged my STL along for a random member lesson haha. I just know god puts us in people's paths for a reason and that he uses other people to answer prayers! I Invite you all to be an answer to someone's prayer this week! Pray and put yourself in a position to help someone else!
I love and miss you all and hope you are all staying warm!
