Well this week with New Year’s missionary work was a little bit difficult. It was hard to make appointments with anybody!
We prevailed! We were able to meet with our new investigator on Thursday. He is super depressed. He asked us if there was a way that he could change his life, and of course we said the gospel will change his life! We have learned we have to be very straight forward with him or he won’t keep his commitments.
So A little funny for you, on Thursday night we were driving around looking for people to teach and we drove past one of our potential houses. All the lights were of so we thought that he was not home. So sister Hiatt goes “just go knock real fast just so we can say we did it…”
So I did…and guess what he opened the door!!! Crazy, and I was all by myself! I declared by myself while sister Hiatt was in the car Giggling and struggling to get to me in time!!! So this was the end of my day...we laughed and laughed all evening. We both will remember this forever! You never know what will happen on a mission.
We visited a cute less active who turns 99 this month, her testimony of the church is so strong, we now take one of our less active recent converts to visits with us, and it has slowly strengthening his testimony and has caused him to have a greater desire to hold the priesthood. Yippy!!
We were able to do service for a lot of people. Service softens the hearts of people that would not otherwise let us in. We folded laundry for this one lady, who was really sick and we took food to one of our investigators who had no food in her fridge, (she is great now) she also came to church with us, so service does soften the heart! It is so great!
We tracked a lot and found a lot of good new people to teach!
We found that a lot of people were home on New Year’s; it was great we had the opportunity to teach the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to a lot of people!
It was a very good week!
Love Sister Mady Proctor
