♦ Elder Miller week 36 (4-24-23)

Bon tardi! Kon ta?


Hope this last week was way good for all of you! I had a great week and it ended with some transfer news! I will be staying in Bonaire but my comp is headed back to Aruba. I am bummed cause he is a stud, but the comp I am about to get is so sweet. His name is Elder Olsen and we spent some time together in the same district in Aruba. So it will be a blast this transfer for sure!

We met some new friends this week! Some of them were the parents of a sweet Dominican family we are teaching. It was so fun to have them sit in too! Now we are teaching the whole family, and that is the most fun (and best for sure) way to teach as a missionary. There is a special spirit when we are at those lessons.

Got to go to a youth Home-run Derby at a community field this past weekend. There was a member who was playing but his family couldn't come so we got to be his cheer squad and it was so hype! I was super glad we could go support him. I love the members here!

I got a fun phone call this week too from the Elders in my old area back in Aruba. They said Rubenita who was a friend found back in my first transfer had a lesson with the Elders and told them she needed to be baptized after reading from the Book of Mormon. It was a miracle and I am so excited to zoom into that baptism this weekend. It'll be a highlight of the week for sure!

I was studying in the Book of Mormon this past week and came to a verse that I love. I might have shared it before but it is a keeper!
3 Nephi 22
10 For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

I have a testimony of this scripture! There have been so many times on my mission so far where I have felt the Lord guiding my steps and Him right on the bike next to me. I know He is there for you, and that the second you ask for His help He'll come running.

Have a great week! I hope the weather is nice! It's pretty hot here.

 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...
