Well, our mission president promised us that if we are obedient and diligent, we will see miracles. He challenged us to always focus on the miracles. One miracle I saw this past week was the miracle of the Christmas devotional. It started Sunday morning with two phone calls. Both from investigators, both saying they would not be able to make it to church that Sunday. When sacrament meeting began, there were zero investigators in church. The last time I showed up to church with zero investigators was in September with a companion that could hardly walk. Miraculously, 1 investigator showed up late, so at least I didn't have to report 0, but it was still a pretty sad church meeting.
I decided that one thing I could do to help my investigators (and myself) atone for that, was bringing them to the Christmas devotional. I had not previously invited anyone to the Christmas devotional, and had almost forgotten it existed. I began to call every investigator, and pass by their houses to invite them to the Devo. 10 were able to make it, along with only 14 of the members. While I was still sad that they couldn't make it to church, it was just what I needed to see the sacrament room full of the people I had been teaching.
Sorry, no pictures this week :(
Love you all!
Elder Stephen Watts
