♦ Elder Miller week 56 (9-11-23)

Bon siman!


Hope last week went well for each of you! It was a good one out here. Hot, but fun.

We are working with quite a few members right now that we want to help reactivate and help them receive the priesthood. It's been fun visiting with them and getting to know them a bit better. One member we went to this week went into his house and brought back out his best catch of the week....well the head of his best catch. It was huge. He had chopped off the meaty top to save and then was planning on throwing the rest of the head in a soup je wants us to try. Fingers crossed it's gone by the time we go back. We'll see.

A few different ladies in the branch fed us this past week and it was so kind of them. Makes it easy on us and we love getting to interact with them. They take good care of us missionaries.

This next week will be busy with a District conference here in our building for all the branches in the islands and just before that a missionary zone conference. By the weekend we'll have a full house staying with us.

I studied a lot about charity this past week and I loved a few bible verses on it that I'd like to share with you...
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

You probably all have heard those verses before, I know I have, but always looking back over them I find ways I can improve the way I show love to others. If we aren't each consistently trying to develop more charity, we are missing out on all the blessings our Heavenly Father wants to give us. It's not easy. But it's worth it!

Keep smiling! And if school just started up for you, keep grinding! Have a great week!
-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...
