To My Bestest Family and Frineds!
So as I knew it would happen, the flowers have started to bloom here in Connecticut! This place is gorgeous and it reminds me so much of Minnesota and Idaho! My e-mail was totally all over the place last week but here is how the my April showers have brought some flowers!!:) (There is always more to come!) So I moved to Stamford last Wednesday and totally felt like I was at home:) Our apartment was so big and had a washer and dryer inside of it! I could not believe it! We did not have to pay money for laundry and wait for our clothes to be done anymore! Well after I had settled in the apartment with Sister Sturm (who is from Rexburg IDAHO!) and we were DRIVING to an appointment, we got a call that we were moving since it was only the 2 of us and the Elders needed the apartment we were in since there lease was up! So yesterday we spent the entire day with the Elders moving everything out into our cute new little apartment! It is only Sister Sturm and I and I am totally used to being with 4-6 other Sisters but we love our "closeness!" We have no other choice:) We no longer have a washer and dryer but our apartment is adorable and we love the spirit that abides there! (Not like it didn't in Stamford!) So now we live in our area and are even closer to a Walmart, Costco, Target, etc! I truly feel like I am in a whole new world! We get to teach in homes where people have a yard, don't have to lock their doors, and are very receptive to the gospel! (I like to think so anyway:)) We continue to search for people but not by comtacting on the street...we get to walk house to house or find people who are walking to there car! My first day here I was in shock! I told Sister Strum to pull over at one point because I got SO excited when I saw someone walking down the street! She thinks I am crazy and I just laugh it off! When we pull up to a stop light and I see the person in the car next to us, all I can think about is "they need this gospel and joy....how can I get it to them in a quite dignity fashionable way?!?" Sister Sturm always will tell me with out me even saying a word..."Don't worry they will get it one day." I sometimes just want to be like WHATEVER and then basically I get to tell her that by just rolling down the window and talking to them about the church! What an adjustment from Manhattan! My oh my! Sister Sturm and I are alike in some ways but so different in others! Each day I learn something new and try my best to be like Jesus! I'll keep you:) Currently we are teaching a couple who is getting married May 2nd and Shanee will be getting baptized May 3rd! Miracles sure do happen no matter where we are!:)
Well I love you all so much and until next week...XOXO!
Love always,
Sister Miller
