Good morning from ya boy Elder Milius! It has been a couple weeks since I've emailed, and that's because last week, we switched our pday to Wednesday cause we got to go through the temple!!!! Which was a blast, I love being inside the temple, especially as a missionary because then I get to continue to do missionary work but without the world yelling at me for it lol.
Basically these past couple weeks we had a blast! Lots and lots of miracles and spirit filled experiences just engulfed us! One thing that was super cool was we had a lesson with one of our friends and we had a member join us on the lesson, unfortunately that lesson fell through so we decided to go knock some doors around her with the member. Eventually we knocked on this one door and a young married couple answered and for some reason they had the most relatable life with the member ever!! Both our member and the guy were both in the military and both of them had experiences that related so well to eachother! It was incredible, we ended up sharing how powerful the gospel is and families and our member just testified so strongly! The spirit was so strong and we know that the lesson we had planned was not the lesson we had to be at. This couple was the reason we were there with that specific member!
Another cool thing was we went to go visit some people who had been taught in the past and for some reason when I knocked the first door, I had a feeling to just continue knocking the row of doors and to our surprise, we found a super cool guy who accepted a Book of Mormon and was really interested! It was all because of the Spirit! And it's so cool to see spiritual promptings actually create something right there!
Something else that I just loved this past couple weeks was, recently I've been struggling with some things and I just felt completely broken down, lost, scared and had no way to feel peace. I found myself in our bedroom one day just down on the ground in tears, of course I decided to pray and plead for forgiveness and mercy and for peace and comfort. After this prayer I got up and felt a prompting to open up Gospel Library. When I did, I found a talk just randomly opened. It was titled "My ming caught hold upon this thought of Jesus Christ" from Elder Andersen from this previous general conference. Basically this is one of my favorite talks now as I genuinely felt so loved thinking about christ! The wonderful quote from this talk is
"As you continue to attentively catch hold of the thought of Jesus Christ, I promise you not only heavenly guidance but heavenly power."
Right then and there I felt the overwhelming power from Heaven just fill my soul. Then when I clicked out of the talk, it just disappeared and there was no evidence that showed I ever opened that talk, it was just there! I've seen miracles and blessings before in my life with heavenly protection to guidance but this was something I've never seen before, something that should not have happened, happen to me personally. God is real and he has the power to do anything, I know that as we remember christ and never forget him in our daily lives, we are promised heavenly power and guidance!
That's pretty much the highlight of my past couple weeks, I did go on exchanges with our zone leaders which was mega fun of course, but other than that, we've just been grinding the finding, and teaching a lot more people now!! So things are going great for me!
Hope yall have had an awesome past couple weeks and I hope yall have an amazing week ahead of yall!! Talk to you in the next one!!
