Letters and E-mails from Elder Michael Miles while he is on his mission.

Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all healthy and happy. :)
I had my first walk in lesson the other night! Two actually... That
was a big deal! It has been a long time on the mission, and now I
finally got them! X)
We were in the student housing across the street looking to
re-establish contact with some contacts that were written down in the
area book. We knocked on a door and an Arabic guy answered, and
informed us that the person we were looking for had moved upstairs. We
quickly transitioned it into a door approach and briefly introduced
our message. He immediately let us in, and we talked to him all about
our church and the restoration and the Book of Mormon. He told us a
lot about what he believes as a Muslim, told us he is actually from
Nasareth(spelling?), which is cool, and overall we just had a
wonderful discussion. :) We went back to our appartment real quick and
grabbed him a Book of Mormon in Arabic, gave it to him, and headed
upstairs to talk to the other guy. We found him, but he had no
recollection of having met with us. But he let us right in as well! He
is a friend of the first guy, also an Arabic guy from Nasareth. Very
cool. The same thing happened. Talked to him about our message, he
talked a little about his and asked us some questions the same way we
were asking him questions, and we placed a Book of Mormon in Arabic
with him as well.
Wonderful how God set it up so those two could receive the Book at the
same time. Hopefully they can share their experiences and come to the
Gospel together. Wouldn't that be great. :)
In any case, it was a wonderful night of testifying about Joseph Smith
and the Book of Mormon and Jesus Christ. Hopefully we were able to
bring those two young men closer to Christ. :)
Well, I hope you all have a good week. Go make it good. Keep close to
Christ, for He is Mighty to Save. D&C 84:88 "- for I will go before
your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my
Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to
bear you up." Trust in your God. :)
