♦Elder Miller week 60 (10-9-23)

-
Mi ta spera ku boso tur lo tin un siman masha dushi mes!

Hope all is good! How was last week? We had a great finish to the transfer here in Aruba. My comp and I are so stoked because we were able to find four new families to teach this past week! Such a blessing, teaching families is the best!

OK first things first, I want to shout out the rain! For the first time since I have been back in Aruba we finally got a little storm. Cooled it down and I missed having some overcast weather. Fingers crossed another one rolls in this coming week.

Another sweet highlight of the week for me was getting a sports night setup at the branch building here in Oranjestad. So now we have Friday night lights! Lets goo, there are some ballers here in Aruba who've been fun to hoop with.

Transfer news came out and I am staying put here in the middle of the island with the same comp too. Kinda crazy I haven't had the same companion for more than one transfer since my training. We are pumped though to see some friends we are working closely with be baptized this coming month.

As I was in the Book of Mormon this week I loved a verse in the book of 1 Nephi towards the beginning...
1 Nephi 2:20
20 And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands

Pretty simple and pretty neat. How do you prosper? Are there areas in your life where you wish you would prosper more? The prophet, president Russell M. Nelson just taught us, "Obedience paves the way for a joyful life for you today and a grand, eternal reward tomorrow".

Thanks for all the support from each of you!

 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...
