♦ Elder Miller week 70 (12/18/23)

 Bon siman na tur!


We had a pretty awesome week here, met a ton of great people and families! Hope the holidays are coming to you all well!

Got to be a part of a neat beach baptism this past weekend! Her name is Arlene and her family will be a blessing to the branch down south. Pretty special to see the joy on her face when she came out of the water. That is lasting happiness and Im so pumped for her.

I learned a new spanish word this week! Avispa! That means wasp, and they are ruthless. While we were walking a street looking for people to talk to this past week I found this sweet abandoned pickup in a field that I wanted a picture in. I made my way over to it and climbed through the side avoiding rust and glass. I sat down in the cab and my comp took a picture back by the street. I noticed a wasp or two fly by my head and didn't think twice about it. Once the picture was taken I looked down and hanging off the dashboard was this massive nest with wasps all over. As soon as I saw it I felt the stings and bailed out so fast. They got me four times in my arm but I was grateful our next lesson was with a member family that had some  ointment to stop pain and swelling. Brutal, but that one is on me for not being aware. Anyway, there is the story and I wanted you to know the ends I go to for some of these pictures🤙just kidding. Lamest part was you cant really tell in the picture that Im inside the truck but I'll add it so you can see.

As I was studying in The Book of Mormon this week, a verse made me grateful...
3 Nephi 18:21
21 Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed.

Family prayer is powerful! It literally changes homes where we teach. I know life gets crazy and sometimes it seems like everyone is never home at the same time, but I invite everyone to recommit or continue im family prayer. I promise the spirit will reside more obviously in your home as you do!

Have a great week! Thank you for your emails 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...
