♦ Elder Miller week 93 (5-27-24)

 Bon dia ruman!


It was a pretty good week here! Staying pretty hot but its getting into mango season in the islands and it seems like more often than not we are bringing home a bag of mangos at the end of our day.

As we were talking to new people this week on the road we ran into a super cool lady who is headed to Paris pretty soon here for the Olympics! She competes in BMX bike racing and will be representing Aruba this summer. It was pretty legit to talk to her about it. Shanayah Howell. E ta bai gana tur pa nos!

A couple days ago back in Guyana my friend Kemel was baptized and it was the highlight of my week. He is such a stud and I'm so blessed to have been a part of teaching him. He'll be a strength to the Demerara branch! I'll add a pic.

Our older surinamese friend Loes passed her baptismal interview the other day and will be baptized this coming weekend! We are pretty stoked about it! Anyway, she asked us to find a beach that won't make it hard on her. So this morning before church we went beach hunting for the baptism. It was pretty fun, and we hope the one we picked will be easy enough for her to get in and out of.

In the scriptures this morning I loved this verse...
Moroni 7:14
14 Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.

I've seen it before my mission, during, and I know it will be there after. In the world, evil will be seen as normal, and good will be seen as out-dated. If Heavenly Father's plan to bring about our eternal happiness is so important, the adversary will try to frustrate it and there will be opposition in all things.

Have a really good 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...
