The Book of Mormon

Since this week has been kind of hard, and I had a couple of homesick moments (am I allowed to say that? haha) (and don't worry I'm fine!!)...I was feeling kinda "bleh".  But I had an experience that just made me so thankful for what I have, and just feel so dang lucky.  We were on our way to an appointment and we stopped a woman who was walking her dog.  After a couple of seconds we could see she was really drunk.  We talked to her about God's plan for us.  She just burst into tears.  Man.  I hate it when we make people cry. haha.  People look at us like, "what did you do to her??" :) Anyway, she told us that her son had died five years ago.  We just testified to her that she could see her son again.  She just said, "really?"  with so much hope.  We read a scripture and said a prayer with her.  She just kept hugging us and kissing us on the cheek.  It was just so sad.  She was so low and had nothing and didn't even think she could ever see her son again.  That experience just hit me.  Even though things can be hard, I have so much.  We know so much!  And I'm just grateful.

 Also, I finished the Book of Mormon again this week!  I love that book!  Are you still reading it as a family and trying to finish it?  Remember to pray about it....I ask God if it's true all the time.  It's not just a one time answer that we get.  We need to continue to read and pray about the Book of Mormon to gain and strengthen our testimony of it. 

Hmmm.....oh!  Something I thought you'd be interested to know....we talked to this guy on the street last night.  Normally, people ask us where in America we're both from, but this time he only thought Sister Millward was American.  I was so excited! (not that I don't love being an American, I do...and it's totally the promised land ha) but that means my accent is getting somewhere! wahoo! 

well, I gotta go!  I love you all!  Have a good week!
