♦ Elder Miller week 86 (4-8-2024)

Bon dia tur hende!


Hope your week went well and you were able to tune in to General Conference these last few days!

It was really neat for me. All week long we had been having power blackouts once to twice a day that usually last around 2-3 hours at a time. We kinda had expected to be prepared to play it for everyone on a phone for those chunks of time and sweat it out but we saw such a miracle. All day Saturday and Sunday we had zero blackouts. After a week full of them, it didn't happen. It was such a blessing and God didn't want the people here in Guyana missing out on His word.

Other than that the work here in Triumph is progressing; we were blessed with quite a few facebook referrals of people interested in learning more from us. We are meeting a lot of really neat people and among all the needs we find, we always carry the remedy with the message we share. It is one of my favorite parts of missionary work when you meet someone in so much need, whether that be physically, mentally or even economically and you have exactly what they need in the gospel of Jesus Christ and you can help them discover it.

We got some rain clouds every once in awhile this past week! It felt so good and way worth all the mud stains on our white shirts as we rode around in it. Made the blackouts bearable:)

A quick scripture from the Book of Mormon that I love...
Heleman 5:11
11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.

I am so grateful for the gift of repentance. As soon as we decide to repent with a broken heart and contrite spirit, we will be forgiven. Every time. He wants us to become and move forward!

Have a good one!

-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...
