Hello Everyone,

So this week was a really amazing week!
We saw so many miracles in just a few days, it was crazy!

We saw our investigator, on Monday, the one that came to church unexpectedly last Sunday. We had dinner with a member and told her how amazing our new investigator is (she has a baptismal date by the way and her 1st lesson was amazing) It turns out she was out of our mission boundaries and we had no idea!

We decided to be obedient and tell the zone leaders even though our investigator said that she had typed in her address to find the nearest ward building to her, and it was our building.  Well the elders told us that we needed to contact the referral lady and send in the referral and make sure it is in our ward. So we contacted her and she was like, I’m pretty sure it is not in your area or even in your mission but if the referral happens to come to your phone its yours.

So we were already super stressed that we were not going to be able to teach her!  As we were waiting for the text we got a call from a sister in our ward that knows our new investigator!!!!
She told us that after the bishops meeting in church about hastening the work in our ward, she had prayed that she would be able to find someone for us to teach and baptize by February 5! When she saw Mindy she freaked out and new that the Lord had answered her prayer! We didn’t tell her she might not be in our area.

While we were waiting to see if we would actually get to teach her, we went tracting for 45min to get our minds of the subject!  Can I just say that was the longest 45min of my life!  We said a prayer to be okay with what we knew was going to happen (the elders in Calabases would teach her and she would still be baptized).  When we got to our car and started driving, we both pretty much accepted it... but when we looked at our phone, there was our referral!!! So crazy! The referral lady called us and said, “I put in that address in four times and it shows that she is in your ward each time, so she is yours!!!”

The church is true! It is so amazing to see how a member’s desire to do missionary work really comes to pass!!!

We also met with a less active, she is really cool and is now coming regularly to church! Can you believe she gave us two new investigators this week? So cool!!

Ximena is doing well we had the gospel of Jesus Christ lesson, she loved it! She loves church, she feels the spirit so strong and loves the way it is changing her family!  She is still hesitant on baptism but she is definitely getting closer!
The week went really good! It was so great to see that God truly does answer prayers and if you work hard and have faith you are able to see the fruits of your labors!

Sister Hiatt and I are getting along really good! It’s great to be together again for another 6 weeks, it’s the first time that sister Hiatt or I have had the same companion for more than 6 weeks!

The work is good, moving along more rapidly, and we are working together so great! This area has really turned around! It is so great!!!  I am having a lot of fun in Agoura hills and we are so busy its crazy.

We also had stake conference and it was a live feed from Salt Lake City and President  Eiring spoke it was so good. Elder Neil Anderson spoke as well! It was just a really fun day full of awesome things!

Today was fun we went shopping and the cashier saw my badge she said “It’s so cool your Sister Protector bringing the gospel to California”.  We giggled for a while over me being a super hero with super powers and saving people with the knowledge of eternal life!

Anyway hope you all have an awesome week love you all and  please continue to pray for missionary opportunities!!!

Love sis proctor
