Hi everyone! Greetings from the Desert
I am doing well! This will be the first Christmas I have ever spent without my family. I have definitely felt the homesickness of being away during the holidays, but I have also been able to focus on Christ more than ever! One of the friends we recently helped be baptized is a sweet young mom who hasn't had a very easy life. But despite her circumstances, I am blown away at her ability to feel joy. That's what this gospel is all about! That's what happens when we focus on Jesus Christ! Although I miss my family (and the snow), I am able to feel joy every day because of Jesus Christ. God is so good! Miss you all:)

Hola! Honduras awaits! The mexico MTC has been full of miracles and joy! This Christmas season I've been thinking and studying a lot about faith in Jesus christ (read Hebrews 11). He is what enables us to continue to progress and to move on from our mistakes. I love the Christmas season! At this time of year faith in Christ is what we do when we cultivate feelings like joy, gratitude, giving, happiness. It all stems from knowing our Redeemer lived and that he died for us and loves us perfectly. We all struggle but we can give it to Jesus. Jesus served everyone all around him. I invite you to follow his example and share your testimony with your family or a loved one today. I promise you will feel Angels and the Spirit of the Lord around you. Jesus Christ lives and he is all around, we only need to look.
Hasta luego

Hey everyone I'm on my 4th transfer now(5 months). Its been an amazing start to my mission and I am enjoying it so much. It's so fun to teach something that I love. During this Christmas season is especially cool for a missionary. We may be away from our homes but we get the opportunity to make many amazing memories and learn so much. Focusing on our Savior during this Christmas season is something we can do that will help us feel closer to Jesus Christ. I hope everyone is doing amazing.

Little update
I'm currently in an area called Entumbane. I'm currently training a new missionary Elder Mwanawasauka from Harare, Zimbabwe and we have been having a great time together! Lately we have been super blessed to meet and teach some amazing people and help them get baptized the last few months. And are excited for the souls God has in store for us to meet going forward!!
Zimbabwe Christmas
This last year of serving in Zimbabwe I have grown to learn sooo many life long lessons, that I have been so forever grateful to see, experience and learn from. One hard truth I have came to witnessed firsthand though is the incredible challenges some of my favorite people that I love so much have to face daily here in Africa. So while I'm here, I have decided I want to try my best to help them.
These last few months, I have been working with local company's to get a few Boreholes (water wells) dug in some rural areas and townships that suffer from little to no clean water. This Christmas I want to bring more water to Zimbabwe communities and schools. If any of you have interest in learning more about these projects or new ways to help someone this Christmas. Check the link below :))
In closing I just want to end with sharing my testimony and love for my Savior. That I know He lives, and He loves all of His children. And because of his infinite Atonement that He sacrificed for all of us, and perfect guidance he showed us. We can celebrate him every year for his Birth and what an amazing event it was, because it was the start, to the ever lasting Gospel of Jesus Christ, that we still so passionately love, and I proudly devoted myself to everyday. And I know it to be a blessing and the truth in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Hello Homestead Ward,
It’s seems like such a long time since we’ve been in Midway but we can’t believe how fast our Mission is going.
Elder Probst says encourage all the Seniors to sign up because there is a shortage. It will be the most rewarding time in your life.
Especially here in Tucson where we get to serve the African people. They are making it but it has been a long journey, with more trials to come.
We wish all of you a very Christ Centered Christmas. For that is what it is all about.
Love to you all, Elder and Sister Probst
John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Love, Elder and Sister Probst
