♦ Elder Miller week 30 (3-13-23)

Bon Siman!


Hey everyone! Hope you are all well! This week I got some pretty big news! I found out I am going to be transferred to Bonaire! Pretty crazy, I've been in the same area on the same island my entire mission, but tomorrow I am flying to Bonaire! I am excited to see a new island, and meet new people, but I am sad to leave so many people I have grown so close to. We have a couple different friends here in Aruba that will be baptized pretty soon. I'm sad I won't be here but I'll make sure to find a zoom link.

So about Bonaire...I don't know a whole lot. Of the three ABC islands it is the least populated, and my area there will be much smaller. There is one set of Elders and one set of sisters on the island with a senior couple, so it'll be an adjustment for sure. Lot less folks. The island is known for less beaches and more cliffs that make great diving. I have heard from other missionaries there are a lot of flamingoes and donkeys so hopefully I'll have some sweet pictures with them.

This last week we had a District Conference for the three islands. Elder Gavarret of the seventy came and it was so neat to hear him talk about a future temple here with the members. All the islands need is more active priesthood holders to make a stake and then a temple can be put here. The day a temple is announced for these people is going to be so special!

A quick thought I had as I was reading in the Doctrine and Covenants this week. In section 100 this verse really stuck out to me....
5 Therefore, verily I say unto you, lift up your voices unto this people; speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you shall not be confounded before men;

I love that verse! Go spread the light! Serve someone, or just smile at someone. So many people are in the dark and need the light you hold! Many of us have taken upon ourselves the name of Christ and have promised to always remember Him. What better way to do that, then going and sharing His love!

Have a great week! Hope your families are Well! Ayo!

 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...
