Empty Planner

Most days we get up and have only a few things on our planning list to do.  These, for me include scripture study and portuguese study. But, a couple of hours into the day we are fully booked.  Friday it looked like we were free for most of the day then we got a call from a Sister in Olhão who was throwing up ˋgreenˋ The throwing up
didn´t bother me as much as the color.  So we rushed over to Olhão and took her to Faro to the emergency room.  Itś really more like an urgent care facility though it does handle emergencies also. We waited there for four hours while they had her in the back.  They gave her an iv to hydrate her and  did a blood test.  Then they sent her home.  She had been sick for a couple of days but we had to be sure it was more than the flu. Anyway we took her home, went and bought her some water, and drove home.  All in all a busy day sitting at the hospital.  The next day she was much better and was out working again.  Sometimes itś a call from the Elders for a ride somewhere far away and sometimes it is helping teach an investigator but we always end up filling the whole day.
We have one investigator who has taken the lessons before but
can´t quite commit.  We have asked her to pray but she canºt quite bring herself to do it.  How do you find answers to spiritual things without praying? Sometimes I think we resist praying because we  are afraid to find out because it will mean we have to take an action that we are also afraid of. 
I bore my testimony today in Sacrament meeting, yes, in Portuguese.  I can speak but I have a hard time carrying on a conversation because my understanding is at times so poor.  I know this is a struggle but without the help of the Lord I am afraid I would know nothing in Portuguese.There are miracles in our lives every day but often we fail to recognise them. 
Just the other day we went to help a member clean a house to be able to rent it. Our car had had a couple of hiccups starting but Dad thought nothing of it.  While waiting to follow the lady to her house our battery died.  We connected to the ladys car and got ours started.  When we got ready to leave the house after getting it all cleaned the car was again dead.  It was a Saturday, which meant that everything closed at lunchtime. One of the men there told us where to go in Loulé to get a new battery.  We were afraid that the shop would be closed and as we pulled up they were closing.  One of the men left but the other, an older gentleman, helped Dad get a new battery put in the car.  Our Apartment is several miles from the Chapel and would have been very difficult for me to walk to the church.  It was a great blessing that the first man was there and could tell us exactly where to go to get a battery, that the man in the shop was willing to stay late to help us, and it was also a blessing that the car didn´t die the night before when we had stopped on a dark road to admire the stars. I love the little everyday blessings because it reminds me that the Lord is mindful of me and my needs and he loves each one of us.
