But the transfer call came in this morning that i was getting a new companion. But Elder Behrmann is going to be my new companion. He is from South Africa but has lived in Salt Lake for 16 years before he moved back to South Africa (because Oringally he is from south Africa) but anyways we actually lived in the same apartment for about 3 months when i was in willard and him and i have actually become pretty good friends on the mission. we are actually serving together! but he has been out for about 21 months so he is just about to go home, which means he might be a little trunky, but hey i will work him hard just like i did Elder Sullivan.
But anyways this week has been pretty good. We actually have 7 people that are being prepared to be baptized. We have been teaching this girl named Clara for the past couple of weeks and she is going to be baptized on the 5th of November. But this week we helped her and her husband do some repairs on the outside of their house, so i did some sanding on some trim on the outside. But anyways they said that they would make it to church the next day, so on sunday we went to church and they weren't there and i was kind of puzzled. So after sacrament meeting we went over to their house and what had happened was that her husband couldn't find any clean pants, and also a couple of his button's on his shirts came off so he was sewing them, but anyways she was totally ready but they didn't plan on coming because they were so late, but anyways we then told her that she needed to attend church at least 3 times before she had to be baptized and that if she missed it would post-pone her baptism a week. and since she really wants to be baptized she decided to go to sacrament meeting, to another ward, which was awesome. but they are way awesome!
also this week we have been teaching these 2 kids who are brother and sister and they are ages 11 and 9 and we have been teaching them for a while and they want to be baptized except their dad has been in jail for the past few months because he forged a judge's signature. but anyways he has kind of been on like minimum security, because on sunday's he was allowed to get out of jail to visit with his family and his kids so that made it so they weren't coming to church. but anyways we were teaching them yesterday and their grandma mentioned about how their dad was going to get out of jail on thursday night so that would make it possible for them to be baptized! so we are really excited about that.
Love
Elder Miller
