8 new investigators!

RACHEL - Hello Family!

How is everyone?? I hope very well!! Mom, I have been receiving your packages and I LOVE them every time!! What are your plans for Thanksgiving? In our mission, we are having a Sports Day for all the Sisters from the mission, which I have been looking forward to since September!! haha This Friday 3 Zones will get together and from 10am to 4pm we will be playing sports!! Sounds like my kind of day! On Thursday the rest of the mission (4 other zones) will get together to play. But I am excited and it should be a blast!

This past week has been filled with miracles!! When all of them were happening, I couldn't seem to process all of them at once! I was mostly walking around in shock this past week. This past week alone we have found 8 new investigators and 7 of them have accepted Baptismal dates!

We have found a family from tracting! They are the Smiths and it is a family of five. The mother and her 3 children who are accountable want to be baptized and are being wonderfully fellowshipped! They are progressing beautifully! We also have a single mother, Sarah, who we also found tracting! We set an appointment with her that night and when we taught her she said that she loves the Book of Mormon and that it fills in holes that the Bible are unable to fill. We are excited to see her progress as well! We have an YSA, Tanya, who was introduced to us by a member and she is taking the discussions and embracing the teachings of the restored Gospel! There is a man, Robert who is 33 years old who we found street contacting and he has that desire to learn more and know for himself. He also greatly desires to come to church and experience the Sacrament. We also found another man named Lister who while street contacting, he was taught a little while ago but now has made the decision to change his life and to be a member of the Church.

Throughout this entire week Sister Suaybaguio and I could hardly contain our excitement! We fasted this Thursday in gratitude of Heavenly Father for simply placing those who are prepared in our paths. We recognize that we must do all we can to remain exactly obedient and to be pure in heart. I am privileged to be teaching these special individuals and having Heavenly Father trust me enough to be able to teach them more about the Gospel. I know miracles happen and that when times seem rough, that means something amazing is going to happen around the corner, we must not loose faith! We must always rely on the Spirit when given responsibilities!

I am so grateful to be here in Chorley for Christmas, right next to the Temple, I am blessed and truly honored to have it so close to me! They are having this big Festival of Nativities (exactly like our Crèche Exhibit at home) and that should be amazing! Also this Sunday will be a tri-ward Christmas Devotional and they asked me and my comp and the two other Zone leaders in the Chorley Ward to sing for it! Ahhh!! This will be in front of hundreds of people!! Exciting! We are singing O Come All Ye Faithful and I'm singing tenor! haha this should be fun!

Love you all and hope to hear from you soon!

Love always, Sister Rachel Kullick
