Happy march to you all.... life is great in the town of Stockton... I love being here. We are seeing some progress in the hearts of these people we are working with. Rachel committed to come to church but then she woke up late and didn't come... so lame but we are going to get her there. No worries. Life goes on and it just gets us one step closer to when she actually will go to church. I'm pretty sure she knows what is going to happen if she goes to church, she knows that she wants to be baptized but she is just not ready for it yet. It will be good its getting there. She said the closing prayer and it was so great. I was so happy.
John we went to see him, his process is a little slower than I was hoping but his wife is slowing it down. I think she is having a hard time getting to church and wanting to go so it prevents him from going. We will get him there I don't fear that at all.
In church I bore my testimony and told everyone thank you and that I love them and it was the last time I would have the opportunity to bear my testimony because I was leaving. Our dinner calendar is completely full, we seriously had members fighting for days so they could feed us before I leave. It was so funny and sister cook said well what about after the 22 who wants to feed us then and well its blank and I felt bad but I will be coming home full and happy hahahaaha.
We met a really great women her name is Debbie, I pray with all my heart that everything goes as planned with her. She is so amazing we knocked on the door and started talking to her, she told us how she loves our commercials they are the best ones she has ever seen. So we set up an appt to go back and she thought for a minute and said, "well my husband is sleeping but if we talk quiet I think you can come in." so we gave her a Book of Mormon and talked to her for a bit. She said she believes things because of how she feels so I said, "How do you feel right now?" Her reply was, "well your inside right? that's a great sign that I feel good" We have our appt tomorrow so I pray that she doesn't fall off the face of the earth like our other "golden" investigators. I have been praying really hard for her since I met her. She really is something special.
Then we met Robin and Robert they have some potential for sure. They have a long way to go but if the get there they will be strong. They really just want to learn what is true and find how they can follow truth. It is great to teach people that want to learn and are willing to pray and ask God if it is true. Thats the only way to know anything. I just think that is so cool, if we do our part and study it out and ponder it... then ask God and that He actually cares enough to answer...? Ahh it is so wonderful I love this beautiful Plan. The Church is so true and I love this gospel with all of my heart.
It has been a rough couple of weeks but I am happy and I am learning to go through with a joyful spirit. I know I need more patience and that might be what the Lord is testing me on right now is patience to endure hard things. I feel I am doing pretty good...always room for improvement but I am getting there. I don't mind messing up and trying over and over to be better, just as long as the next time I really do get better. Thats the hard part.
Well time is gone and I love you all!! until next week chao!!
Love Sister Holt
Be happy and keep smiling
