I feel my Savior's Love

Well I survived the actual first week of med school and I am on my 2nd week. I know Heavenly Father blessed me with a great week first week, so I could go onto this week, ha! The past couple of days, Clayton has been whinny and not sleeping at all. On Tuesday night Clay went to bed around 8pm and by 10:30 he was crying and not happy. Finally by 2am on Wednesday morning Clay went back to sleep. Wednesday morning I knew Clay was suffering from an ear infection, so I TRIED calling every doctor in Yakima! Every doctor office told me the same thing," Sorry, but you need to fill our a new patient forms and wait for a 24 hour process and for the doctor to okay the papers." WHAT?! The place I called I was crying, no one would help my son or me and he was in so much pain. I felt so discouraged and frustrated. FINALLY after what seemed forever, I was able to get Clay a doctor appointment in Mattaw, which is an hour away. As I was about to head out the door so we could make the appointment, my neighbor, Lauren knocked on my door saying she heard Clay had a rough night and asked if she could watch Leah for me. I told her we were leaving to the doctor, she said,"Let me take Leah." I told Lauren that its a pretty far drive and I wouldn't be back for few hours, but she insisted. Lauren saved me! Another tender mercy happened today. My friend Jayli(whose husband is a first year med student) asked if she could bring me dinner tonight. She has 4 very young kids and here she is serving me. The past couple of days I have felt our Saviors love for me as well as feeling humble. The Lord is aware of our needs and when we need a hand. This experience has strengthen my testimony and how I can feel my Savior's love for me. He does care about all of us and our needs. He knows when we need an extra hand. Thank you Lauren and Jayli for being Christ-like and serving me. Both of you have taught how to serve and be a true friend. Thank you!
