Note my new address!!


Ya know every time I hear the name of Cadillac this country song comes to mind and it says, "Cadillac Blackjack" So I Often refer to it as that. This week has been a wonderful week.

Maybe the highlight of my week is that I got SUNBURNED!!!! I was so, so happy, Now I just look a little less pasty. It is glorious. Sorry about all you who have gotten snow... I guess you should move to MICHIGAN! Jokes on you :)

Here in Cadillac we teach so very many lessons. This past week we taught a total of 25 lessons. Sometimes we put ourselves in a terrible predicament because we schedule so closely together.

We have been trying to figure out what the investigators/ inactive members know or don't know. Many of them don't know much so we have been reteaching them all the lessons. I hope my companion isn't upset about this but I am not going to baptize anyone unless they are fully converted to the gospel. We had an interesting lesson. We are teaching cousins. Their names are Dana and Katie. Katie has been meeting on and off with missionaries for about 2 years now. Dana just started a few months back. We were having a lesson about the 10 commandments with Dana and discussing them when Katie jumps in. She starts sharing all of her concerns. What is holding her back. Since I got here though all of her concerns and questions have come out. It is great. She told us she loves to practice all religions as well as paranormal activity and the occult. So we are going to have good discussion about that.

On the bright side though, I got her to come to church for the first time ever! In two years, she says she loves the gospel and that she loves her main man Tom ( President Monson), she's read and believes in the Book of Mormon, but has never come to church. Miracle has it though she finally came!

She absolutely loved it. I think hopefully things will really begin to progress with her.
We also went door knocking this week and accidentally knocked into three inactive members. All of which let us in and want us to go back and have dinner or meet with them. That was kind of a fun surprise.

I am so grateful for my new companion, she is such an inspiration. We have found so much success working together and I know that we are going to bring as many of Heavenly Fathers children back into the fold. Over and over in the scriptures it talks about how Jesus Christ always is watching over all 100 sheep and not just 99. I know that he cares about each of us individually and that he does live! This time of year we remember his resurrection and that because of our Savior we are able to return to live with our Father in Heaven again one day! "The testimony last of all, which we give of him is that he LIVES!" I know this to be true. I have see first hand what his gospel can do, if we depend on him and if we do our part, by reading, praying and going to church. This gospel saves lives and it blesses each of us individually. Happy Easter to one and All and remember why we celebrate the resurrection of him who lives.

I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week and a Happy Easter!
Love Always and Forever,
Sister Milar
