Transfers are once again. I can't believe how fast the time flies by here.
Funny story of the week:
So Sister Garner, bless her soul. Isn't a very experienced driver haha. We were going out to Beaverton one afternoon, which is a suburb of Midland, about 45 minutes away in no mans land. We were driving a long and I was texting people and just staying productive well Sister Garner missed the turn. So she turned at the next turn, which is a dirt road with a bit of ice. Half way down the road she starts to sweat and says, "man it is getting hot in here." she was a bit nervous. Anyway, as she was driving she wasn't paying attention to how deep the snow was, so she drove us right into a stand still. We were stuck. I switched her spots and tried to wiggle us out but it wasn't going anywhere. So after a few minutes we call some people no one answers. I decide let's call AAA. We call them and as she is punching numbers in she rejects another call and I say , "who was that?" She tells me Brother Miller, and I say you've got to call him back! He is the one that will be able to pull us out. I know he has pulled elders out multiple times. So we call him and I tell him where we are and the worst part! It was his birthday!! Well Happy Birthday Brother Miller! He happily came and pulled us out with his truck and all was well.

We also had Zone Conference. It was awesome. We talked a lot about how we can better feel the spirit and invite the spirit more in lessons. The spirit was so strong! We also talked about all the mission changes that have occurred and how we will apply them to our schedules. I do love the freedom the new schedule brings. I feel more productive believe it or not.
Also, We put another investigator on date. He is the cutest. He is about 70 years old and loves that he can feel the spirit with us. We usually see him 2x's a week. He wants to keep learning and just says that he needs to be better and is ready to move forward. I was nervous to invite him to be baptized because generally older people are very stuck in their ways, but he is so much more willing to learn than most. His reply to baptism was well I guess I don't see why not. I just want to keep learning and reading the Book of Mormon.
I love being a missionary and I encourage all of you to try to find ways that you can be a missionary. A fantastic book that you all should look into reading and doing with your family is called, "The Power of Everyday Missionaries."
The gospel of Jesus Christ is true and I know it is true through the power of the Holy Ghost. God lives and loves each one of you and is there for you always. Keep being wonderful examples to those around you.
Oh before I forget, transfer week is this week so I will probably be emailing this week on Saturday. So don't be surprised to hear from me then!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
Love Sister Milar
