Blessings Come Through Service

As I told you we served a mission in Brazil.We met with a member of the Area Presidency every month, so we became close to President Soares. As we did our Church Hosting we would see our friends from Brazil, but President Soares usually came in and sat on the stand and did not come out into the audience.  The April Conference after our girls were diagnosed with cancer, President Soares came out into the audience and came on my aisle. We spoke for a moment about his family, and then he asked about mine. I told him my sad news with a heavy heart. He immediately asked the girls names, wrote them down, and said he would place them on the First Presidencies Prayer Roll. As he left, her said, ""I will make sure they are on the roll for two weeks." I felt that again my Heavenly Father had blessed us for our service in Brazil and our service as Church Hosts. He doth require that ye should do as He hath commanded you; for which if ye do He doth immediately bless you; and therefore He hath paid you.
