month 7 TODAY!!

I thought I would do a little catching up since I am way behind on Caitlin's blog! She is now in Yakima, with Sister Hart. They have been together for 3 transfers, I think they are excited to move on to new companions! Grandma Ora always said a change is as good as a rest! So August 25th is the new transfer date we shall see. Caitlin has grown so much and learned amazing things about herself and the gospel. Her Love for the Savior is evident in her letters. Her mission is challenging, but it is certainly a blessing to her and to us. So a few excerpts from recent letters!!

During district mtg we watch on the Lord's errand the life of Pres Monson. Holy Moly what an amazing man we have for a prophet!! But he said something that was profound he said if the Lord ever needed an errand ran he knew who to ask. So I decided to pray and tell Heavenly Father the same thing. I love running errands for real! Well that day we were running out of our plans with all of them not working and so I said a pray and asked what errand needed to be ran. Well I felt like going to this potentials house that has canceled every appointment since we met her. She let us in!! We taught her a bit about the restortation, she loved it! Knew all of it was all true and was so greatful for us stopping by! It felt so good!

Wonderful news of the week! Britteny who I told you about last week is on date for baptism! Best lesson I have ever been apart of! I tell you what! She has no idea who we are and so we really focused on her being a daughter of God. I have also been working on asking more questions to have the investigator talking more than me! And wow miracles happen! I taught the lesson with all questions and she testified of the gospel in answering and I was astonished! Then the spirit said put her on date! I thought oh it has been so long since I have done this, she will say no. Then the thought came you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. So I said ok! Your right, when? Then the 21st popped into my head! So I prayed for the time to do it! I felt that if I didn't do it in that lesson it wasn't going to come up for a very long time! So I did it and she tearfully accepted! Then we got down on our knees and she prayed and I was bawling by the end! The spirit was SO SO strong!! This was another time in my life where I realized how much HF is aware of me! The last few weeks have been so rough with the work and I have been getting discouraged which I know that I shouldn't but I did nonetheless and I was really wondering what I was doing here in the mission and then that happened that night! I just cried and cried because I remember why I am really here! To help wonderful daughters of God like Britteny come closer to the Savior!

Happy SEVEN Months SISTER CAITLIN FRAN MILLER!!! I love my missionary!!!
