This week has been a fantastic week!
Starting off with the most happy news of the week. Sorry here is one of my long story shorts... So Nicki our Investigator. We have been meeting with her at least once a week since September. She is awesome, she truly has a desire to know if the gospel is true. Every week since September I've asked her to pray. So Monday was like any other day, we get there and I ask her to open with the prayer and she laughs and says not today. She is just so shy and embarrassed by it. We had a lesson about keeping the Sabbath day holy, and it was a very good discussion. She and her family treat Sunday like any other day and she never even thought about this concept. So she said she is going to try it. That was a surprise, but we were so excited. SO again I asked her to pray and she said no.
Then We met with her Thursday. I asked again and she said not today. We talked about the 10 commandments. SHE LOVED THE LESSON! By the end of the lesson the spirit was so very strong and she had opened up a lot to us. We asked her to say the closing prayer and she said..." well I'd have to think about what to say..." So we all folded our arms and bowed our heads and just waited. It took her a few minutes but she PRAYED! NICKI PRAYED!! Well She has prayed on her own but not with us there. I was so, so happy!
Another cool experience that happened this week. One night Sister Garner and I were walking home. As we were walking a guy was walking towards us a distance away and I said is that Joey? (another of our investigators) and she said i don't think so, but I said i think it might be joey! When he approached us we started talking and asked his name and he said JOE!! haha it was awesome. We had a good conversation with him, but he wasn't interested. I left him a card with our number and said call us if you change your mind or anything. Well two days later we get a phone call. Guess who! Joe!! He wants to meet. So we met with him on Sunday. WE had a wonderful conversation with him and are meeting with him again later this week.
I love serving the Lord and bringing souls closer to him. I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. It has blessed my life so much and I know that it can bless your lives too as long as you put your heavenly father first in all that you do.
I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful week. :)
Love Sister Milar
