♦ Elder Miller week 22 (1-16-22)

 Bon Siman! 


Hello everyone! Hope it's been a great week for you all! I had a sweet one full of little miracles!

This last week I was able to go on two different exchanges! Exchanges are the best! First I went down to the south end of Aruba with Elder Tafisi. He is a stud and we had a lot of success down there. Even ran into a golfer who was more than happy to show me his clubs and his awards. The people here are the best! The next exchange was with Elder Adams who is one of the zone leaders here. We had the car, and we were driving down the street and we waved at a lady about to cross the road. She waved back and came up to the car. She said she recognized us missionaries and we pulled the car over to talk more. She had just moved to Aruba from Colombia and got emotional when she told us she had no friends. We were able to give her a message of hope, and arrange a car to pick her up in the morning for church so she could meet more people. It was a miracle that we didn't go looking for, she came to us. It was so legit.

Our friend Benjamin is getting closer and closer to his baptism! This is a big week for him to get ready for it here at the end of the month. I am so stoked for him! I'll keep you updated on how it goes!

Other than that, I am having a blast! Zone conference is this week which will be so fun to have everyone fly in for the day. Only a few more weeks in this transfer so I am trying to soak it all in because who knows where I might be next!

I was reading the book of Alma this week in The Book of Mormon, and really loved this verse in chapter 26...
15 Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction; but behold, he has brought them into his everlasting light, yea, into everlasting salvation; and they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love; yea, and we have been instruments in his hands of doing this great and marvelous work.
We are all "instruments in his hands". Every week by partaking of the sacrament we are renewing our covenant to bear his name. I may have a tag, but we all wear His name on our hearts! I invite each of you to let the Lord work miracles in your life! Be receptive to his promptings and he will work wonders! Only in and through Him can we find JOY.

Have the best week! Thank you for all your support! Means so much to me!

-Elder Miller

 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...
