Well, I hope everyone had a nice Easter.
Today we are going to the wax museum with the district and with Elder Ott and Elder Monson.
So first off, there is Angel over here who wasn’t ready for his baptismal interview, so we had to wait on his baptism. We need him to get an answer to his prayers as to the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, and the church as the only with the priesthood authority on the earth. It makes sense to him mas o menos, but he hasn’t had the spiritual confirmation yet. Lessons with him go really, really well though and he always does his prayers and reading and is really going to be ready when the time comes for him to be baptized. He should be closing down his shop this week and is trying to rid himself of all the food on the shelves, counters and fridges so that he can sell the spot to someone else, and then he is going to get a piso in the ward and make clothes and tailor clothes for a living instead of his terrible situation at a store that doesn’t make any money.
Also, an update on Alcides and his wife that he went and picked up in Paraguay; they have returned to Spain and have a baptismal date in Barrio 8, so that is way sweet. Eva and Juan Carlos liked conference and are still receiving the missionaries and noches de hogar from them. Also, I forgot to mention about Thomas’ confirmation. I confirmed him in Sacrament Meeting in English. It was kind of hard to do it in English. It went way well though, and then this last Sunday he received the Aaronic Priesthood from the High Priest group leader who is from Missouri, and it was in English for Thomas as well. It was way sweet, and all of the 4 of the Barrio 5 elders the bishop and Hermano Wilson were in the circle. It was great, and an amazing blessing. So thanks for everything. I love you all a ton. I will let you know what happens with transfers.
Much love from Spain.
Love, Elder Miller
