♦Elder Miller week 74 (1/15/24)

 Bon Dia tur hende. Kiko ta kiko rumanan?


This week was all over the place and we saw so much good. Hope the new year has been going well for all of you. Sounds like back in Idaho there is a ton of snow. I couldn't be more polar opposite here in Aruba, but I'd like to say I am used to it by now...

My comp and I are flying around our new area trying to talk to a lot of people and met some neat folks who are excited about the gospel. We also got some bike time while our car was in the shop, so that was a fun mix up.

I think this week marks the most people I've gotten to teach in one lesson. (If you don't count the radio show in Bonaire). We were tracting a street of apartments one evening as it was starting to get dark and we walked past a big group of young adults and teens hanging out by their cars. (About 15 people) There was no way they weren't going to call us out and make a joke or two as we passed by. Once we started speaking with them in papiamento they took us a little more serious and wanted us to give them the 'good word' before we left. So even though it wasn't the most spiritual environment we taught simple truths about God's plan for each of them. So if nothing else, a little respect in the hood that night. But they were all young and I am sure at least one of them will come across the gospel again. Felt like a missionary in Book of Mormon times teaching to a crowd.

The members in the ABC islands just got some pretty exciting news that this coming weekend Elder Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will be coming to Aruba and Bonaire to rededicate the islands to missionary work. So excited for these members (its been over 23 years since an apostle has come to Aruba) and excited to learn from him. It'll be a highlight of my mission for sure. Big blessing.

A quick scripture that I think you'll like....
2 Nephi 32
3 Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.

I hope you are all enjoying the new Come Follow Me study for this year in The Book of Mormon. I know it is the words of Christ because it is changing lives out here (and across the world).

Hope all goes well this 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...
