Ciao Tutti!!
To be honest this last week wasn’t to eventful, but it was still
a good week and I am still having a lot of fun on this Mission. The first cool
thing I learned this week, and i call it a miracle, is that i can now do a
Rubiks Cube! its pretty great! some missionaries use it to give an object
lesson about the loss of the church and authority on the earth after Christ
died, and how through Joseph smith everything was restored and we now have the
Authority and Church on the earth again today. Its actually a pretty cool
object lesson, but I didn’t want to learn it for that reason i just wanted to
learn it cause it seemed like a cool thing to learn on the mission. So Italian
and Rubiks Cube, those are the two things I’m content with learning on the
mission. To prove i can do it ill try to attach a video of me doing it, i hope
it works!
(The Video did not come through yet...I'm excited to see him prove it) |
The other cool part is that we will have another baptism
this coming Saturday! Her name is rose and she has a really strong testimony of
this gospel and the Book of Mormon. It was weird how she even came to this
point of baptism. It started with the last baptism we had of the young men,
Augustus and Dennis (both are still awesome by the way). But when we gave both
of them the Holy Ghost Rose, the person getting baptized was there. And i had
never met or seen her so i thought she was family of the boys, but she
wasnt!... so we got her number but I didn’t think much of it, then I tried to
call another person in our phone that week named Ruth. But I called rose by
accident and didn’t know it till she picked up and I didn’t recognize the
voice. So we met with her that day and she told us how and why she came to
church. She said that she just woke up that morning and said I’m going here,
(our church) and I don’t think she had ever been to our church before, but
anyways she just decided to show up that day! so that was a cool miracle, but
the next really cool part was when we gave her a Book of Mormon, we told her to
start from the beginning, so she did but she said she didn’t understand it. so
she closed it and decided to pray, and after she prayed she just opened the
book to a random page and started reading. She opened to Alma 7, which if you
don’t know is all about the atonement of Jesus Christ. It pretty much is the
most important thing! But she told us that she instantly started crying and
instantly understood the purpose of this book and knew of its importance! And
then the next Sunday was fast Sunday and as an investigator she decided to
stand up and give her testimony on the Book of Mormon! so hat the short version
of her conversion story. I feel like I haven’t done much during this whole
process except watch the spirit and the power of this gospel work in her life!
She is a great lady with an amazing testimony. So this Saturday I will baptize
her, it will be exciting for her! I’m excited.
But anyways thats my mission life for now! write me so i can
know what all of you are doing, i love you all and always pray for you! the
gospel is true! the Book of Mormon is true!!
Ciao! Anziano Miller
