This week has been pretty good! We've had some miracles!
Mason, one of our investigators, had the time of his life at the Monta Vista(YSA) ward last Sunday and when he came home, he said, "I'm a Mormon!" I always knew that was a great ward. (:
When we met with him the next day, he said, "Guess what, sisters? I'm getting baptized!" We were so shocked and excited!! He just decided on his own that he was going to get baptized and he only needs our help to plan the service. So mark you calendars, everyone! 1/4/14 is the day! We're so excited!
Yvonne, one of our other investigators, has asked us to read to Book of Mormon with her every day. She said that she only understands it when the missionaries are there. So we've been reading with her and one night, she said, "You know, now is the time. What am I waiting for?" It was awesome. We haven't been able to get ahold of her recently, though. But we'll keep trying.
So things are going well. There have been some Christmas miracles and I'm really starting to feel the Christmas spirit! On Sunday, we went to two wards and got to see two incredible Christmas programs. I'm so blessed to be in this mission at this time! I also feel very blessed to have received so much love from all of you! Thank you all for being awesome!
I want everyone to listen to David Archuleta's Christmas cd. It's soo good!
On Saturday, I got to go back to Saratoga to see Alisha's baptism. It was a really sweet experience and another way that I felt the Christmas spirit this week. It was good to be back there and see all of my people and to see Alisha so happy! I am so blessed!
This week, we went to visit a less-active member and she wasn't home. It turned out that her daughter, who is also less-active, was there. She let us in and she told us that she had just been listening to the radio while cleaning the house. All of the sudden, the radio had turned off by itself, and that's when she saw us coming up the driveway. She basically spilled to us about everything she was going through and we taught her a Christmas message and sang 'Love at Home' with her. As we left, she had tears in her eyes as she said, "Thank you." It made us feel so good! It's awesome how the Lord will put you in situations where you're needed. Even when they're really unexpected.
I love you all and hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!!
Much Love,
Sister Julie Catherine Harris
