Good morning everyone! Sorry it's been a fat minute, last week we went to the temple and I didn't have time to write an email. So here we are, hopefully I don't write such a long email.
So the highlights of these past couple weeks is, we have been seeing so much success in finding and in having amazing lessons with our friends! Between both weeks, we've found 26 new people! It's been insane how much we are seeing the fruits of our labors!
We also have amazing friends we are teaching right now. We have this one guy who was a referral and we ended up putting him on date a few weeks back and we've been having awesome lessons with him. He is so ready for this gospel and is truly accepting it all! He came to church yesterday and loved it! He said he looks forward to coming back, and his baptism is in a few weeks so pray for him!!!
Our other friend who was on date for a while didn't come to church so we had to take him off date again. He always has something come up that stops him from coming to church, like he just got covid so that put him out of commission for a minute! But he has a great testimony of the gospel, he believes this is the true church but he just isn't making the effort to come to church. He will eventually get baptized but it won't be till after he comes to church. So pray for him as well!
We also have been seeing lots of other friends progress as well, there is this lady who we called out of the blue and had an awesome lesson with. She literally came to church yesterday and loved it. The talks were also amazing cause they were all about the Book Of Mormon and that stirred some inspired questions about the Book that this lady wanted to ask us. She was super down to come back as well so things are looking up for us right now.
Other than all our friends, nothing else crazy has happened, we are just seeing tons and tons of success. Probably the most success I've seen my whole mission. And it's also crazy how quick these past 3 transfers have flown by. I've had so many people tell me the last year of your mission Flys by so fast and I am starting to believe them.
The temple was awesome too, we got to go up and do a session and it was super fulfilling. I had lots and lots of thoughts about my testimony and how I am where I am. And I won't share everything but because of an experience I had when I was younger, with my dad, I have the strongest witness of God's love for me, his existence and my divine heritage! We are all sons and Daughters of God. Even when we fail and fall short of the justice of God, we have a second chance provided to us by christ! We talk to so many people who don't have a relationship with christ and if you would describe your connection with God as not too great, I invite you to make it better, grow close to the teachings of christ, grow close to God's love, grow close to those around you who have the same godly desires. This is the way we can get through these strange times we live in. The world ain't sunshine and rainbows, it is a cruel cruel world and it will beat us to our knees if we let it. But with God we can overcome this world and have an army of angels by our side. And even when we don't feel it, or see it, God is with us.
God is with us all.
-Elder Milius
