Yay!!! We finally have people to teach! To say the least we are very excited. This week was an amazing week! We had zone conference on Tuesday and it was soo good. Can I just say that the Palmers are the best! He talked all about listening for the promptings of the spirit. The Lord is talking to us all the time, we just might not be listening. He also talked about transition :( That means he told us what is going to happen on July 1 when he spends 1 hour with our new Mission President, President Mullen. He explained the whole process and what happened to him and he talked about priesthood keys. We're going to miss him so much, but we know that President Mullen is supposed to be with us and that he is called of God. It will be good. I got to see Sister Haws! Ahh!!! That was so great! And she writes to me and gives me advice now.  Pretty nice. It's weird not having someone to fall back on who has more experience. Before if I didn't know the answer to something she always knew the answer because she's been here forever and has a ton of experience. Now I do have a better source to rely on, the Lord :) but she's still amazing.

This last week we were finally able to see some progress happen. We have visited almost every member of the ward that would allow us in and have received referrals from many. We ask for referrals from everyone we meet and it's really fun actually. We were able to find 3 new investigators. We found two while tracting. Chenae is really open and loves to learn she is very free-thinking, but loves the idea of a prophet. She has a lot of potential. Lisa we found while trying to contact Celeste Clyde. Trying to find Celeste has turned into a multi-ward miracle. So Lisa is Celeste's mother-in-law and is amazing. She is budhist ( I don't know how to spell that) but very kind and open. She has a lot of potential and she really wants to meet with us. We found out that one of her good friends that she works with is LDS and is in the ward right next to ours named Sister Smart. She actually called us the day after we met with Lisa and told us how she had been praying for this to happen. She said that she has been praying for Celeste for a long time and for her husband and that whole family. We told her that we would do what we could to get missionaries to Celeste's and that we were teaching Lisa. It was such a miracle to see all these ends start coming together. So if anyone talks to Willis and Leanette let them know that Celeste is definitely being watched out for by many people and especially the Lord.

Our last one is Jennifer. She is a hoot. She has gone through just about everything difficult a person can go through in this life and she loves to talk about it. She said her one glimmer of hope for anything good in her life is her 6 year old son. She said he made her start believing in God because she wants a better life for him than she ever had and than she gave her older children. At first she wouldn't read or say anything positive about God or religion or anything. Now she wants to meet almost every day, she promised us she'll read, she loves the idea of repentance, but is not sure she can really be forgiven. She has a lot of anger and hate, but she has so much promise. She loves how she feels when we teach and it's such an opposite feeling than the rest of her life. The Atonement is already starting to bless her life and she doesn't even realize it yet. We're super excited for her and for her to feel Christ change her life. We've been working a lot with the Bishop and the ward members to try and really help the ward. We've had a lot of service opportunities to really help out. It's fun to see our 3 weeks of hard work starting to show glimmers of fruit. The Bishop wants us to be involved in the ward as much as possible and is really giving us opportunities to do so. We have met almost everyone in the ward and now we're trying to take all of them on church tours and get them set up with mormon.org. This ward has so much potential and the members are so willing they just need a direction and they're off. It's really exciting to work with.

Even the couple we live with is making progress. They actually said they might come to church. She even cut us some lilacs. He loves having company, but she was a tough cookie to crack. I think she's finally warmed up to us now. I feel like I could write comic strip every day with all the funny experiences we have with them. Most of them center around their crazy cat Charlie. He is our stalker. We invaded his favorite room that had a hole in the wall where he could sneak into all the other rooms. Now everytime we turn around he's watching us even through the window. Last night he brought a mouse into the master bedroom and they spent the night chasing it around. We just tried to imagine them doing it and it was so funny.

 This week truly was a week of miracles. When we were teaching Jennifer she was sharing some very intense details about her life. When we finally had an opportunity to share with her a little bit all I could feel was the Savior's undying love for her. This woman has done a lot of wrong things her life, but I know that the Atonement can heal everything. All those pains that she feels can truly be swallowed up in the joy of the Lord. She doesn't have to be so afraid of the future because it is as bright as she allows it to be. I love the Atonement. I know that it breaks all bonds and heals all hearts. We had Stake Conference yesterday and in the middle we stood up and sang The Spirit of God. It felt like an army of angels. I felt like everyone had a tiny glimpse into heaven and we all wanted to grasp what we could and fight to do what is right. It was such an amazing experience standing and singing anthems to our King. I love this Gospel more than anything. I would give anything for it.

I love you all! Thank you so much for being so great! Please write!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love
Sister Probst
