But things have been pretty good this week. we have a baptism this saturday of this guy named Ed. Ed was a member of the church when he was younger and his dad got offended by somebody/something at the church so his dad pulled all of their church records a.k.a. self excommunicated his whole family. which was kind of lame and selfish. but anyways ed lived the rest of his life not a member and he married an lds girl and then started to take the lessons and now he is being re-baptized this saturday!
But this week we were visting people in this one ward and there was this one culdesac out in plain city that happend to have all less actives and nonmembers living in it. so we decided to go see this less active family and some non members and both of them didn't happen to be home and there was this house that had the lights on and i just felt that i should go knock on the door, to find out about their neighbors. so anyways i went over there and some girl named sophie answered the door and she happend to not be a member and she works out at the airforce base in clearfield and she is from san deigo and she is a catholic and we were just talking to her about the church and she said that she didn't know alot about mormons but likes to have an open mind so she said that she would like to meet with us again. but anwyays it just shows that the lord has things planned for us as long as we are willing to listen to the spirit.
but another story this week was that we were tracting in this trailer park in our area and we found this one trailer and i ran into this lady named april and she is a pentecostal and she is from texas. but we started talking to her about the bible and we started to bible bash with her a little bit and we were like this is kind of pointless so we just kind of beared out testimony about the book of mormon and we were going to leave but then she suddenly was like, "i'll make you a deal." and we said, "what is that?" and she said, "if you come to church with us this sunday, we'll read and learn more about your church." and we were like, OK! that is an easy trade. so this sunday we went to a pentecostal chuch out in clearfield and lets just say. have you watched the movie borat where he goes to church. im sure james has. but that is what it was like. just alot of music and priaising jesus at random times and saying halelujia and amen alot. but afterward when we were getting a ride back the husband was like, since you guys came to our church, we'll come to yours next week. so we said that would be awesome! so today we are probably going to go visit them and talk to them about the restoration of the gospel, a.k.a. the truth!! haha.
but other than that my week has been pretty good other than the rain. but things are going really well here and we hope to see alot more baptisms to come up.
Love
Elder Miller
