I hope you've all had a fun week in
Denver! Mom mailed me a bunch of pictures this week, and it was so good
to see all your cute faces! Did you know that you are the best family
ever? I also got a sweet package from kar dar this week, which made me
so happy! THANK YOU!
So this week we had zone conference, which was super
sweet! We learned a lot about family history and how we can use it in
our missionary work. It was crazy because the next day, we saw Lori shopping at a yard sale. We were walking down the road and she
said, "Oh my gosh! I was just thinking of you two! Can you please help
me with my genealogy??" So tonight we get to go to the family history
center and help her out with that.
Another highlight... WE GOT BIKES!!! :) Carolyn was
cleaning out her garage and asked if we wanted them. Of course, we said
"yes!" We're going to find out if we can use them once a week to save
miles, and if it doesn't rain we're going to ride them today :) I can't
wait!
But there's even better news about Carolyn! We
invited her to be baptized last night and she said yes! but she doesn't
know when. That's a pretty typical response for an "eternal
investigator," but it was still a big deal to me. She has changed so
much. We're reading the Book of Mormon with her, and I can't even
describe just how strong the spirit is each time we do. Commitments make
her really anxious, so she usually doesn't do them. But this week we
assigned her to read 3 nephi 17 on her own and SHE DID! :) She loved it,
and she felt the spirit. She knows it is true.
I love the gospel so much. It's so awesome 2 hours
every day just to study it! Being in the "bible belt," there are a lot
of people who just want to bash. But it's amazing, because each time
that has happened, it has given me an opportunity to study and find the
answers for myself. I don't argue with people, because I know that "love
is the essence of the gospel," and the spirit is the true teacher. But
each time I've had a question come up, I've been able to find an answer
as I've searched the scriptures and prayed. I love that!
I know that the Book of Mormon is true. Sometimes I
think it would be easier just to say it isn't and go home. But I can't. I
have read it, prayed about it, and seen it change lives. I can't deny
it! I know this book is true, and I know that it brings people closer to
Jesus Christ. I know that helping people is the best way to get happy
:)
I love you so much! Have the best week :)
Love,
Sister Miller
