Hi fam!
Nikki and Bane got baptized yesterday! It was awesome! It went pretty smoothly, because her mother in law has been planning it out for years haha. They've been coming to church for a long time, and they were taught by the senior couple. We had no records of it, so we had to teach them all 5 lessons in just a couple visits! It was crazy, but fun. We had to do a musical number... eek! I don't really know how it sounded sounded, but I was scared out of my skirt.
Last Monday when we were emailing, I started chatting with this gentleman we see every week at the library. He opened up to us and told us that he had lost his son in a car accident a few years ago. We had a great conversation about the gospel, and I asked if he would like to learn how his family could be together forever. He agreed to meet with us, and we set up an appointment for later in the week at the library. We were pretty bummed, because he didn't show up. As we were getting ready to go, this super happy middle-eastern man just walked up to us and became our best friend! He said (in very broken English,) "The weather is beautiful. The world is beautiful! The people in America are beautiful! I love it here!" Come to find out, he's from Iraq, and he lost his wife in the war. He's had a really hard life, but he has an incredible, positive attitude, and he wants to learn more about the gospel! We walked him over to the computer and showed him how to pull up the book of Mormon in Arabic. It was a cool experience!
We got to teach the Walkers this week :) Love. Them!!! Seriously, they are just so prepared. Please pray for us this week. We are teaching them the law of chastity. Allison and Darien will either have to get married, or she has to move out in order for her to be baptized... It's hard, because she helps take care of Sister Walker. But I know that with the Lord's help, they'll be able to work it out. :)
We also taught the Bowyers! They are crazy prepared. He is a member, and she isn't. She wants to get baptized so bad, but she is having trouble quitting smoking. They've met with a lot of missionaries, but he's been working so much that this was my first time teaching them. She said, "We need the spirit in our home again!" and they are trying to come back to church. :) They have 2 little girls, Maddison and Olivia who are 3 and 4. Please pray for their sweet family!
Sister Munford is super great :) She's a wonderful missionary, and we get along well. She's really quiet around other people though, so we're working on balancing conversations and teaching better. She's from Sandy, UT, and she loves to dance. She cracks up at the slightest joke, which makes me feel like I'm way funnier than I am ;)
Well peeps, I sure love ya'll. Thank you for sending so many prayers my way. I really can feel them, and they make a difference. I love you!
Love,
Sister Miller
