Hi everyone!!!
This week has been great, I sure am learning how to work very hard, and I’m seeing miracles all the time and it is so amazing!
One of the things that I have noticed is because of this holiday season everyone is really nice, and talkative! We were able to find a new investigator this week by street contact!!! I’m actually very scared of street contact, it’s not my thing! I’m getting used to it and actually it’s a lot more fun than getting doors shut in your face! Anyway we got lost and we were looking for a map to find the next place and we found Shirley! She is great, with red fire hair! It’s going to be amazing to start to teach her!
We had the chance to teach Ximena two times this week! Once for family home evening which turned into just preparing her for the first lesson which happened the next day at a member’s home. It was truly amazing! We talked about the restoration and at the end when we had brother Adams read the moronic promise about the book of Mormon her eyes started to tear up and said, this is what she needs to do to find out if it is true, and now she is reading everything we give her and is asking for more! She also is set for a baptismal date for Jan 25! She is a little bit skeptical but we testified about how we got our answers to the truth about this religion and she said she would try!!!! She is so golden! It’s so great!!! THIS IS WHY I AM HERE!!!!!!
We have started this new thing that we have to talk to 15 people before we can go home at night. It has made the work fun and we are talking to everyone we see. It’s just starting to get us more motivated. We are truly enjoying the work!!!
I have been feeling like I have become complacent, since I have been in the same place for so long. Not that I don’t love it here, I do, but I used to feel like I have tried everything I could and that no one was interested in learning more. That is so not true! As Sister Hiatt and I change how we do things and how we look at things the work is progressing and we are having fun and our attitudes are so much better!
We had dinner with Rose last Monday and it was wonderful. Rose is a very shy person, but she loves having us over! We had a short lesson afterwards and she told us that she is not sure if the book of Mormon is true. She has been trying to find fault with our religion and cant! She is now at full force progressing to be baptized on January 25th which is great!
One of the things I truly love about being in this area so long is I am able to see how the lord softens people’s hearts! I love to see the changes in Ximena, Rose and even Norma who was a former investigator, and now we are teaching her again, it’s so great!
Sister Hiatt and I are getting along so well! We are working very hard and we just are loving this work, it’s so nice to be with a companion that works with you and will help you change into the person you want to be!
I have been studying the Saviors birth this week in my studies. From the prophesying to the actual thing, both in the bible and in the Book of Mormon it’s been amazing!!!
We had the Christmas devotional this week! It was truly amazing; I loved all the wonderful musical numbers! It truly brought the Christmas spirit into my heart!
One more thing, it does not feel like it is Christmas in two days!!! Its sooooooo sunny and warm here, what is with that!!! This weather is not what I am used to for Christmas!
Well I love you all! I hope you ALL have a wonderful Christmas!! Thank you all for your prayers and love, I feel it every day!
Love Sister Proctor
