To My Amazing Family!
No drought in finding the elect this week!:) We had such a wonderful week in finding and look forward to the next return appointments we get with these people! One is tonight! My heart has been filled with joy and my eyes filled with tears as we taught Chantel's (our investigator from Africa) brother in- law...who has been visiting from Africa! He came to church this week and we were able to teach him about the Restoration during Sunday School with a member who speaks French so he could translate into Thomas' native language for us! As we taught and testified the spirit was overwhelmingly strong and it all made sense to Thomas! All throughout the lesson he was thanking Sister Roberts and I. He would share with us how happy he is to bring this back to Africa and share it with all. I wish I could describe to you how I felt but it is hard to put into words. He told us he sees missionaries often but never knew what they taught. He truly has been prepared for this message and I am grateful for him and how he has strengthened my testimony! I will never forget the lesson with him. As we walked out of the classroom the last thing Thomas said to us was, "keep doing what you are doing, you will change the world." If anyone is going to change the world, it is him. He is the one who is going to go to Africa and invite others to hear the words of Christ from the missionaries there! We sure can't do that!:) Monday as a mission we sang the primary song "We'll Bring the World His Truth" to President and Sister Searle since today is there last day!:( ...and that is my mission.....to bring to world his truth, or at least the people here in Norwalk and Darien;) Well, I love you all and miss you bunches! Have a spectacular 4th of July and until next week....XOXO!
Love,
Sister Miller
This is our apartment building and on the other side of the river is New Jersey! We love our gorgeous view!
The church is so true and this is the wonderful result! ;o) It will only continue as the knocking, contacting on the street/subway/bus, etc continues! I LOVE the truth and I have the privilege to spread it to the people of Manhattan! It could not be better!
The city is gorgeous in the evening! I was taken away by the view the first time I saw it, talk about amazing! The sisters I live with love to tease me and sit on the ledge but I do not think it's funny at all! I PROMISE I will never really jump! ;o) This mission life is too good to be true!
Sister Buhler and I on the roof of our apartment building! I get so scared being so high and yes, I am extra safe!
These are the sisters that Sister Buhler and I live with! Sister Taylor, Sister Nau, Sister Buhler, and me. Sister Taylor is from Temple Square mission and serving in our mission for 4 months.
I guess we really like roofs! ;o) This is on my first p day and we did a couple things at the church but this is where we ended up! This is the roof of the church building! I was SO freaked out!
You know you are a missionary when you look like you got run over by a truck at the end of the day! ;o) Sometimes I wonder if that is why rejection is so common! ;o) Sister Buhler and I often call ourselves frumpy but that sure won't last forever! We are so blessed with members and singles ward activities feeding us! This is a singles activity that we got pizza from!
Vince thought I used to have ugly feet. They will never be prettier than they were before this wonderful mission! If you ask me, I still think they are pretty! ;o) Throw this away asap! ;o)
