♦ Elder Miller week 2 (8-30-2022)

-

 

This week was so great! I finished up my English portion of the MTC and my Home MTC experience. Starting this week my teachers will only speak to my district in Spanish so that will be crazy. I think my Spanish is getting better, and I am understanding more every day. I have some survival phrases locked in so I'll be able to get by along with the essentials, Food (comida), I have no idea what you just said (no entiendo), and (si, soy un gringo). :p

 

It has been so cool to be a missionary at home, It was a much needed adjustment time for me, and I have learned so much. It has really gotten me excited to just get out there! So tomorrow is the big day. My flight leaves at 5:30 in the morning and then I am off to Provo for four weeks. Man, these two weeks have flown by. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep myself together tomorrow morning, but I am definitely not banking on it. I am excited to get going but leaving my family tomorrow is going to be super hard.

 

Already had a few bittersweet goodbyes with my older sisters heading off to school down in Utah, and said goodbye to my extended fam. I love them! 

For p-day this week I got to play a little more pickleball and go golfing with my dad and little brother. I needed that…one of the highlights of the week for sure! Got all packed up (only supposed to take 2 small suitcases - so that’s what I’ve got) and am ready to go, well I don't know if ready is the right word…. 

 

So excited to meet up with everyone in my district tomorrow and get to work. My MTC p-day will on Wednesdays I'm pretty sure. Thank you for all the emails and love.

 

One thing that we really hit home this week is that this gospel is the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is our focus, so favorite scripture of the week in D&C 68:6...

 

“ Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come.”

 

  LETS GOO!!

 

Have a great week!

 continuing  1/1/23 Response page 103   Jan 1 st Glad you got a fireworks show.  I had brought a bunch of glow in the dark stuff to McCall for the big ring in the new year and totally spaced getting it out- maybe I’ll save it for fourth of July Fasting anytime is hard but on a mission I bet it is especially hard because you can’ t nap away part of it- but where there’s an increase of faith there’s an increase of blessings and I hope you felt good after your day of fasting to consecrate this new year…. I’m glad you could see more of your island working on the area book.  The Lord won’t forget the people you don’t get to see because of your bike situation.  Still might be good to mention to a ZL or someone- just an awareness you have of those people—you never know when a mission gets more cars- and the need proceeds that (maybe you won’t get a car, but you might eventually get more areas- more missionaries to cover them) Jan 2 You aren’t d...

  Elder Miller, MTC graduate, top honors You are on your way! You did it! Home MTC ☒    Provo MTC ☒    Complete first transfer with companion ☒   Board plane for mission ☒       You’ve been so ready for today, preparing for these 6 mtc weeks, preparing since primary, preparing since before the world was… the Lord needs you now exactly where he’s sending you.   It is amazing to think of the light you’ll share and how it will change people forever—what a ripple effect—it’s so awesome. I am sure you are feeling a little nervous too- but you are very good at hard things—and you can do this.   You have already set the tone for your missionary service and we are so proud of your effort, your diligence, your ability to lead and love and be Christlike.   You will have a lot to learn from your trainer- and he doesn’t have to be a dream comp to teach you what the Lord wants you to know. I hope he is- but just know- you set y...
