Ryan Millar Fireside-- 21 Jan 2011

Last Friday night, the Warsaw District YSAs sponsored a fireside with Ryan Millar, who plays volleyball professionally with a Polish team in Rzeszow . Ryan played at BYU and lead them to two national championships. He played on the US Olympic volleyball team in 2000, 2004 and 2008 when they won the Gold Medal. He has played professionally in Europe for the past 10 years. He has an amazing life story and shared his testimony with us. He is married and has two young sons. We hope we can have him speak again, perhaps next season.

Pictured L to R: Kasia, Dorota, Dominik, Ewa, Nasa, Camilla, and Marta.
Members and non-members were in attendance. Dominik conducted the meeting with President Nielson doing the introductions. Pictured: Dominik and his mother, Anna.
The Missionaries in Warsaw were excited about the 20+ investigators and inactives in attendance. It was a great night for everyone.
What would we do without a great translator like Robert Magnuski! Thank you, Robert!
And thank you, Ryan, for sharing your life challenges, experiences and strong testimony with all of us. For those that attended it was wonderful. We thank Brother Millar for taking time out of his busy schedule and in between tournaments to come and speak to us. We truly appreciated it! and Happy Birthday!

  2. We just had a family home afternoon with the Millars! They are great people and I'm so glad so many people got to hear Ryan's testimony. I hope we can attend the next fireside he does (and his wife and kids so people can meet them too. Great family!)
