♦Elder Miller Week 68 (12-4-23)

Bon dia! Felis dianan di fiesta!


Hope everyone is well! It was a good week here! We got to be a part of a lot of good!

One day we had a scheduled lesson with a family that lives out among the cacti on a farm with so many pigs. We have been wanting to sit down with them and help them re-light a fire to get to the temple. When we got to the farm they came up to the fence and told us they were sorry they couldn't meet, they had to go to a big family party and they were in charge of the food. A little bummed out, we said okay, but then they said 'we'll show you!' They brought us to the backside of their home and there was this absolutely massive skinned pig hanging from a tree! We got a sweet picture, and then let them get to work getting all the meat. So it didn't turn out how we wanted it, but they weren't lying when they said they were busy preparing food. I guess it just wasn't dinner rolls like I was thinking;).

Kinda on a lame note, we were involved in a little fender bender accident this last week. Thought I would be able to get through a car area without any dings but accidents happened and this lady just didn't see our car in the parking lot. A blessing no one was hurt. There was a ton of paperwork though.

A highlight of the week was the First Presidency Christmas devotional! You definitely got to watch it if you haven't already. I wanted to share a scripture that was used in it...
The Book of Mormon
Moroni 10:18
18 And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of Christ.

So much to be thankful for during the holidays! 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.
