Snow in Alexandria |
Sorry - it has taken a
couple extra days to email this week! It was a holiday on Monday, so the
library was closed. Then yesterday there was a snow storm, so it was closed
again! We got about 4 inches of snow yesterday and we trudged around in it all
night! We had a baptismal interview I had to get to and nobody was allowed to
drive in th e snow, so we walked 4 miles to get there (8 round trip) in the
snow! It was a long cold walk (haha).

We got word on Saturday
that we will be having a full mission conference this Saturday and we will be
having a guest appearance by Elder S. Gifford Nielson! That will be really
awesome to meet him. I don't know this for sure, but it could be for our new ipads
and iphones we still haven't gotten yet. He gave a really good talk in
conference about missionary work that I will be rereading before he comes.
We have been having a
great week! We found a new investigator while tracting the other day and she is
great! She has been going through a really hard time with a divorce and we had
a really spiritual talk with her at her door. She started crying and we came
back to teach her the next day. She doesn't have a Christian background, so it
will be different teaching her. There have been lots of miracles go into her
story that I will have to tell you about later! She came to church and wants to
keep coming. She is golden!

This past week in District
meetings I taught the District about worrying about the things that we can
control. We can’t worry about the number of lessons we teach or if other people
don't choose to listen. Those things will happen if we just do what we can
control (attitude, faith, hard work, etc) Sometimes in life we worry about the
things that we have no control over. If we worry too much about those kinds of
things it will negatively affect other areas of our lives. On the flip side, if
we worry about what we can do and work hard at it, then the things we can’t
control are positively affected. If we have a great attitude, faith, and work
hard through difficulties, then it will help us with the problems we have no
control over.
Love you!
Elder Miles
