Barren to Bountious

This week was a great week for us here in Okeechobee. A lot went on, and we were able to see some miracles. At the beginning of the week, we felt that we had basically baptized or dropped all but 1 investigator, and we were getting close to dropping her too, so we felt a little apprehensive to start the week, but we some great miracles happened as we put our shoulder to the wheel. At the beginning of the week I went on an exchange to Fort Pierce to see what was going on there, and while I was there Elder D did a great job taking over once again. He and Elder Bu were able to find some who would say yes to baptism, which helped set the week up well, and they were also able to go and teach the one investigator we were thinking of dropping soon. There they were able to firm her up and help her feel closer to baptism. Then throughout the week we were able to return to those yes's and we were able to find a lot of people. A decent number of whom accepted dates, but then fell through by not coming to church, for a different reasons, and we were able to get the work going well again this week. We had a lot of success that is really going to start setting up for the next week and the next month, we are very excited for what is going on here. We had a lot of fun teaching all the new people, and we were able to really find some good prospects, that we did not have at the beginning of the week. Christmas is going to be crazy for us, because we have to have district training that day, which got thrown onto us kind of last minute, but it is also exciting, and pretty good because we will have it on one of the, well, less productive days. I know it says that holidays should be good times to proselyte, but I am still trying to find that part in those days, but we will be looking for miracles tomorrow, the Lord will bless us for the work we do. I love this work, and I am so grateful for the blessings we receive. I know that God is helping us and he loves each and everyone of us, and this is why he sent his son. I love this work, and I love all you
