Can I just say that I love the temple! It was the most amazing experience ever! It has been so long since I last got to go and it was a super early morning with tons of driving, but it was so worth it. That is the reason why we're even here on missions. To help people learn what eternal life is and that our whole purpose is to have joy and the only way to have complete joy is through Jesus Christ. I'm on such a spiritual high right now it's awesome! It filled my tank and now I'm ready to go :)

Okay so not much time to write, tons of things to write about. So last week we had to "temporarily discontinue teaching" most of our investigators. It was really hard, but they weren't really progressing and so we felt it would help them the best. After every single one we found an awesome potential that is so ready to learn. We haven't been able to teach any of them yet, but we know the Lord is blessing us for our faith. We're also "temporarily discontinuing teaching" Chris. That was such a hard decision to make, but he really knows everything he just has to choose to live it or not. We still see him everywhere and he's still coming to church and we'll probably try again in a week or so, but he needs some time to decide some things.

We had an amazing referral text from mormon.org. There's a family that has lived here in Peshastin for many years. Dad lost his job and went to North Dakota to work in January. His family joined him at the beginning of the summer and he said he wanted to be baptized. They all took the lessons and were baptized last weekend. Then mom and the kids moved back to Leavenworth for school. They're awesome! We're so excited for them and they were so prepared! they're going to the temple this weekend to do baptisms. Miracles!

Less active work has been going awesome! Larry Stoltz the cowboy guy that I had an amazing experience with called us up and wanted to feed us dinner. So we brought another less-active sister and had an awesome lesson with him. He even said he thinks he'll come to church soon. That's huge progress from where he was at before. Another Less Active named Brian actually called us asking for help finding a new home and after he gets it he will invite us up and we can teach about God all we want. We're so excited, we've been working hard with these two and they're finally making progress!

Crazy stories: I HATE MICE!!! I'm sure there is some purpose to having them here on the earth, but I really don't understand what their purpose is in our living quarters. We chased one around the kitchen the other day and found a rotting one in our basement (we followed our noses eww). Our apartment inspection missionaries actually came by 2 days later and gave us some suggestions to get rid of them. Hopefully they'll work. Then we'll just have to conquer the massive spiders. They're winning the battles lately, but we'll win the war (if I can get Sis. Donaldson to stop screaming every time she sees one ;). Story 2: I recently got a rubber chicken in a package. Yes, I love it. I have since started hiding it around the basement for Sis. Donaldson. I hid it in her bag Saturday night thinking she would find it in the morning. Well she definitely found it in the morning, but a little later than I had hoped. We had just finished ward council and she opened her bag. Oops. Luckily the Bishopric has a good sense of humor so when she chucked it at me they just laughed. Then I had little kids coming up to me all day asking to see the chicken in my bag. Good times :)

Sorry not super spiritual, but now time to write. I love you all! The Church is so true!

Love
Sister Probst
