♦ Elder Miller week 39 (5-15-23)

Bon tardi! Felis Dia di Mama!


Hope you all had a great week! Things here in Bonaire have been so sweet lately. We got to be a part of our little friend James' baptism at the beach this last Saturday, and it was so neat.

Oh man, I got the buzz-cut again. At the beginning of last week we pulled up to a friend's house who we were going to teach and he wasn't there but his buddy who lives there too was, and he said he knew how to cut hair. We took him up on it and he told me the highest guard he had was a 4. Definitely thought it would leave more hair. Not that big of a deal though. I wear a bike helmet all day anyway and it keeps me cool:).

We have kept seeing a great turnout at church! We have our fingers crossed that a new church building is in the works! For now though we are making it work and the branch here is just one big family anyways so it's so fun!

I was reading in the Book of 3 Nephi 16 this last week in The Book of Mormon and loved this part...
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

One thing that is so neat about the apostles and prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is how they go about doing good. That's all they do! As followers of Christ we need to go about doing as He would. I know that even our smallest efforts to lift others are accounted for. I invite you to show the people around you that you follow Jesus Christ simply by your works! I am sure so many people see the things you are doing!

Have a good week! Thanks for all the love!

 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...
