notes from the letters of Sister Miller

We had read Moroni 10:3-5 and we told him he needs to ask HF with a sincere heart and real intent to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet and if the BofM is true! So he is praying and he was like "HF I have a sincere heart so will you tell me these things are true?" bah it was so funny! He said other things I can't remember but it is so neat cause we are kneeling and then we ask so how do you feel and he seriously sits there astonished like holy moly this is true! BAH it was epic!! He just sat on his knees for 5 min and I think just trying to take it all in!

I tell you what that is the power of the Book of Mormon. I have always known that it was true but I love experiences like that where you know with all your heart it is true! It was the most epic experience! The spirit was SO strong, Then of course we invited her to pray and man I almost lost it in hers to! She is so funny! And her prayers are so amazing!

4 months out

Well Sister Miller is no longer in Battle Ground, she is in Yakima. She describes it as a redneck area very similar to home, where the sun never stops shining! Her new companion is Sister Hart. It sounds to me like the name fits her well. Caitlin says she has a heart of gold and truly loves the people in her area. They get along great! They have a few investigators and are working hard to find more.
Sacrament meetings have been different on her mission than at home, she has spoken several times, witnessed the older man blessing the sacrament have a heart attack, and watched a 14 year old recite witch spells in testimony meeting. She's not in Utah anymore.
She hates tracting, loves teaching and is starting to preach the gospel wherever she is, most recently to the boy fixing her Subway sandwich. She loves her mission even tho she says at times it is the hardest thing she has ever done. To me, her mother, the things in my life that have been the hardest have without a doubt been the most worthwhile. I am so proud of her! You go girl!!!
