Obedience brings blessings! Exact obedience brings miracles!

Hey my wonderful family! So I am having some very good experiences this week and I dont know if I mentioned it but my companion sister Moreira is awesome!! Im very grateful for her and her desire to be obedient. Because Ive been trying my whole mission to be exactly obedient and really basically all missionaries are obedient but there were always tiny little things in which I wanted to be EVEN more obedient but not everyone felt the same urgency and so now with sister Moreira I really AM able to be exactly obedient because SHE is, its very great because I know that miracles will start pouring out because of it. Something that Im really excited about is that the ward mission leader of the other ward talked to us missionaries and said that they are doing an open house every thurday mixed with a type of family night in the church for people to have the opportunity to make friends that will help them stay strong in the church. So Im really excited about this idea and really in our ward there are a Lot of wonderful activities because of the effort that all the leaders are putting into their callings. Its really amazing.
An experience that was a tender mercy the other day is that we planned with a member to visit a family with us and while we were waiting to meet up with Tai we saw the family leaving the house to go to the hospital (the daughter was sick but now she is better) and so we after wards waiting a bit more for tais and then felt that we could go visit someone because we thought maybe Tais forgot. And so we visited the most of a recent convert (thabata) and it was really Really good because we taught about the plan of salvation (and then in church her mom asked if thabata already can enter the temple to do baptisms for the dead, and I said yes she sure can and then she responded saying that it would be a wonderful thing for her to do!! Wowwwwwwwww how amazing is that?! She wants her daughter to do baptisms for her ancestors, I definitely hope this means that she is feeling the truthfulness of the Gospel).
So anyways during the lesson we got a call from Tais and realized that we had gotten confused and were waiting at different places to come in contact with each other (it was our fault because we forgot that we had decided on a different place to meet up ) but anyways afterwards we realized that it would be AMAZING to bring Tais to visit Caroline (basically we know that caroline is prepared to hear the gospel and so we will do everything to visit and teach her) and so we went with tais to the house of Caroline and no one was answering the door for quite some time. And I just prayed in my heart because I KNEW that it was SO important for carol to have a friend in the church and really tais is Beyond amazing and fun and so I was just hoping and praying that carol would arrive. But I knew that whatever happened that things would work out. And then she answered the door!!Wahoo! And so they talked and they were basically instantly friends it was so great (because they both are recently married legally with their first child and it was just so great) and so anyways that is something that will be wonderful because Tais said that she would invite Carol and her husband for a family night :)! So we are really hoping with that.
Also I am loving visiting the family of Arthur (10yrs old) who is the oldest of the 4 kids in his family and so the first to be baptized, and his mom is a less active member but he knows Everything about the church and wants to be a missionary, I think we just need to help get them a ride for church on sunday. But Im really loving the opportunity to visit them and teach them and this tuesday we will do a family night in their home and Im preparing a lesson about the plan of salvation and how families can be together forever. So it should be fun. 
But Im loving the experiences Ive been having and Im excited to continue working hard and try to help as many people as possible.
I love you all!! And I loved talking with you guys,
love Sister Kimball
