Week Eleven - Caraz

Here is the latest e-mail from Elder Miller.  He sounds wonderful. 

 

From Elder Miller;

Wow this was an awesome week! President Rios came and visited our whole zone and we got to study and plan with the assitents. It was a great experience. The work is moving forward here in Caraz which is such a delight to see!

The members here are so amazing. We have a new Ward misión leader who is amazing. He gave us 20 references to his friends this week! He is very Young and he is a return missionary. He actually knows some people from Helena from his misión which is very cool.

President Rios came and checked out our room this week to make sure we are keeping the place in good condition and dont worry…he approved! We then went and visited a member with him here that is having a Little bit of trouble with her teenagers. He gave such a great lesson! He said teenagers are like mercury in the palm of your hand. If you squeeze too hard it escapes, so you need to almost balance it in the palm of your hand. You cant let it totally run free, but you cant totally restrict it. It was such a great lesson that ill definitely remember. He is such an inspiration!

This week we had one of our less actives attend church that we have been working with. It made me so happy to see him in church. He was participating and everything! He is a very Smart kid the same age as me so it is fun to see him be a great example for his family.

We have been teaching some new investigators this week and its very interesting to see what people think they know about mormons. I love how the góspel is so simple. Every question or opposition can be answered with simple plain precious truths of the góspel.

We have really been focusing on helping everyone understand the sabath day because that is the big focus right now here. We have really been tying it to the Savior and as ive learned more about the Savior my love for him and understanding of his atonement has greatly increased! I love this góspel and the opportunity I have to share it. Heavenly Fathers loves us so much and I am so grateful for that.
