 Bon tardi!


Another week in the books! Hope you all had some fun this past week!

We were blessed with a bunch of members feeding us last week. Makes it so easy on us, and most of the time I can count on some rice, chicken, and Coca-Cola being part of it, but tried something a little different last Sunday. Guinea Pig! Tasted like some fancy sausage, and it's another thing to add to the crazy foods tried list.

Our car had to go into the shop for some work done, so we got a little bit of bike time which was fun. I just feel like a classic missionary when I am on the bike. The car isn't too bad though!

Funny story, we decided to try out some fishing (more like line with a hook and some bread in the water) today for pday. We didn't find too much success but next week we are going to try chicken bait instead. Anyway a man drove by and rolled down his window. Seeing my tie and white shirt he said, "sir, you are a fisher of men not of fish". I told him I was trying my luck with fish today. But with no catch I better take his advice and stick to men I guess. This old Arubiano man cracked me up though.

There is a verse in The Book of Mormon that I'd love to share with you all. It's in the Book of Helaman....
5:30
30 And it came to pass when they heard this voice, and beheld that it was not a voice of thunder, neither was it a voice of a great tumultuous noise, but behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce even to the very soul.

How do you feel the spirit of God in your life? I'm so grateful that out here on my mission I have learned better how the Holy Ghost whispers to me. It comes to each of us differently as we live worthy of it. I want to invite each of us to take time this coming week and evaluate how often the Holy Ghost is your companion in your day. As we do this, I promise we will each find ways we can invite it more constantly in our lives!

Pasa bon siman! Thanks for all the prayers and support!

 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...
