♦Elder Miller week 24 (1-30-23)

 Bon Tardi! 

 

Hope everyone is great! This week was a lot of ups and downs for me, but I am doing great and getting excited for some changes around here!

 

New transfer this week! I will be staying in Noord, Aruba for another transfer but am getting a new companion. His name is Elder Turley, and he just finished his training in Curaçao. So we are both young trying to figure this out. I’m so stoked though and pumped to make some crazy goals with him! He flies in tomorrow and can't wait to get rolling!

 

The beginning of this week was tough. I caught a brutal cold and it knocked me down a little but I am pretty much over it now which is a blessing. Made me miss my mom for sure.

 

I tried some crazy foods this week. We went to a member’s  home for a Sunday lunch and she came out with this seafood fried rice. It was good- but interesting because you could tell it was super fresh seafood because every other bite you'd bite down on some sand. But it was interesting, an assortment of clam, shrimp, octopus and a bunch of other muscle things I have no idea what they were.

 

Also got to be a part of another beach baptism for our zone which was way special. A little 9 year old girl who was just smiling the whole time. So sweet and fun to get to be there.

 

Other than that, not much besides playing some dominoes with a few different members and a service project full of paint!

 

One quick thought from the scriptures this week! Loved this verse in chapter 24 of Mosiah in the Book of Mormon...

14 And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions.

Never feel like you are going through something alone. His son Jesus Christ has descended below it all to walk with us back to our Father. Trust that He only gives you what He knows you can overcome. 

 

Well, I hope this next week rocks for you all! February! That’s crazy l! Thanks for all you do for me! Make it a good 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...
