♦Elder Miller week 53 (8/21/23)

 Bon Siman!


Hey everyone! How was last week? Mine was pretty crazy here in Curaçao as we are finishing up the transfer.

We took the Elders who have the car to the airport early Tuesday morning, for exchanges in Aruba. So that meant we got the car for a few days! Felt a little funny since my whole mission I've been on a bike, but it was so nice. We were able to spread out and find so many new people because of it!

This last weekend we had such a sweet sports night at the church. It's been really hit or miss the past few weeks, but on friday we had 13 different dudes pull up who wanted to play basketball. So sweet, 5-6 of them were non-members. It was way fun and we hope this next week goes the same. It's always funny when all these island kids get used to being the best on the island and then these Americans speak their language and can hang on the court. I think we'll keep them coming back. Pretty fun.

Other than that I am doing well. It's been go go go recently but there is really nothing better than just being absolutely beat after a long, good day. Thank you all for the emails and support. It is always fun to hear from you and your families!

My Book of Mormon study led me to a powerful verse this week...
Mosiah 5:13
13 For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?

These kinds of scriptures always call for a moral inventory. Where is your heart? At the end of the day, what is on your mind. What matters most to you? I know I can't always answer those questions how I want. But I promise you that the master you are choosing to or not to serve is ALWAYS thinking about you. Don't forget that!

Have a great week! Good luck to everyone starting back up at school! Go tear it up!
-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...
