♦Elder Miller week 48 (7-17-23)

 Bon siman!


Hey everyone! Thanks for all the emails and support! It means a lot to me! This week was good! We were able to see a lot of little miracles here as we wrapped up another transfer. Wild.

The members really helped us missionaries out last this week with meals. I am always trying new things and even when it doesn't sit well with me, it is so kind of them to help us out. I think the craziest thing I ate this last week was a tie between a rasin lasagna and some gabritu (goat). Always keeps me on the edge of my seat for sure!

We got to go bond with the Elders quorum this last weekend and it was so sweet. First we did a record speed cleaning the church and then we all hoped in the cars to go across the island for some famous cheap Venezuelan hotdogs. When we pulled up the food truck wasn't there so we had to find something else. 3 stops later we all settled on Burger King hahah. Not so authentic I know. They crack me up, it's got to be really cheap but a ton of food or they don't want anything to do with it.

Transfer news! I get to stay here in the Buena Vista, Curaçao area and I am super happy about that! I am losing my companion Elder Adams though. He us headed to Aruba and my baby area, Noord. I am excited for him and he said he'd say hello for me to everyone there.

Other than that, "alles is goed" (so when a lot of people think we are Dutch, that is the greeting as a question).The work is going, hoping soon for a split in the branch, which would be a big blessing and lead us closer to a stake which would lead us closer to a temple! That will be the best day of my life!

A quick couple verses I loved this week from the Bible...
Mark 11:24-25
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Prayer is so crucial! When we have a prayer in our hearts always, I know we are better prepared and protected from the adversary. I invite everyone to evaluate your prayers, and find one way you can strengthen your relationship with your Heavenly Father. He is always there, eager to listen and help you!

Have a good one! Stay safe! 
-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...
