Things are going pretty well out here in Willard but they could be better. I like my companion and it so far has been really fun serving with him. I think the funnest part of this area is that we live with another companionship in our apartment so that has been pretty fun. But we have been teaching quite a bit of people in Willard when the Willard area has been pretty slow. But this week I went over to teach this 8 year old kid who for some reason didn't want to get baptized and i was told he didn't want to get baptized because he was scared of water. so we go over there and it turns out the only reason he didn't want to get baptized was because he didn't want to wear the baptismal clothes and he also didn't want to have a million people at his baptism. and i was thinking the whole time, at that age i didn't even care what happened to me all i knew was that i was getting baptized. but i taught him a lesson about baptism and it was kind of frustrating because he was one of those kids who told me that i was wrong... so he was telling me that i didn't know what i was talking about and he was telling me that i was wrong, which was frustrating, but finally his mom backed up me and told him the things i said and he believed her. but finally at the end i said you will be a happier person if you get baptized and you'll be sad if you don't and you will only have to wear the baptismal clothes for about 10 minutes and you can invite however many people you want to the baptism and he finally said yes, so that was good.
but this week we have more lessons than we had set up last week and they are actually with investigators, which is awesome so i am really excited to get around and teach. But i am so far liking willard/farr west, even though willard has nothing and i think that willard has more cows than people... but i am still loving it out here, i love you all and wish you well.
Love
Elder Miller
