♦ Elder Miller week 91 (5-13-24)

 Bon siman!


Hey everyone! After a few very hard goodbyes in Guyana, I made it back alright to Aruba. So pumped to be back and see what the Lord has in store this time around!

I am living in a 4-man set up which is a first on my mission. Never a dull moment for sure and makes it fun to be around a bunch of Elders more often.

We met a Colombian family this past week and they invited us over for a Mothers day BBQ the other night. When we arrived they had the grill loaded with all sorts of meat. Like Sausage, steak, pork chops, ribs, chicken and chorizo! So much. We thought nobody had eaten yet but then they got two plates for us and divided every last piece of meat on that thing just for us. Holy smokes, it was a ton of meat! We chowed on as much as we could, but thankfully they gave us a bag so we could take it with us. At our next appointment we gave a member family the extras; about a week's supply of protein no joke. Everybody was winning that night.

Other than that, Aruba is so good. Went from a fun rainy season in Guyana to a heat wave out here, but the wind helps. Got to go to church yesterday and reunite with some amazing members!

I love a constant theme found in the scriptures that I wanted to share with you all today...

1 Nephi 4:14
14 And now, when I, Nephi, had heard these words, I remembered the words of the Lord which he spake unto me in the wilderness, saying that: Inasmuch as thy seed shall keep my commandments, they shall prosper in the land of promise.

The Bible and the Book of Mormon repeatedly teach us that people will prosper in the land only if they obey the commandments of God. In the standard works, it is mentioned 34 times! I know that true joy and prosperity can only be found as we follow our Savior Jesus Christ. That kind of happiness will last forever!

Have a great week! Love you all!
-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...
