♦ Elder Miller week 100 (7/15/24)

-

 

Bon dia rumanan!



We had a good week here with some sprinkling of rain every once in a while which is always a big blessing!

The work is moving along. This weekend I get to be a part of the baptism of a friend I taught about 8 months ago. That'll be a highlight of the coming week.

One morning we got to go on a little fishing trip with a Venezuelan friend of ours to the local fishing spots on the island and it was way fun. Didn't catch as many as we wanted but had a good time and the catch of the day was a Ka i' morto "trunkfish". Crazy looking thing but our friend held on to it because he was convinced it had good meat. To finish off our adventure we went back to his place to have a fish fry. There wasn't enough trunkfish to go around so he fried up all our leftover bait too. It was thawed squid and sardines, which made me pretty nervous but we weren't going to turn him down so we gulped it down.

In commemoration of President Russell M. Nelson's upcoming birthday, I want to echo his invitation to each of us in ministering to the one...

3 Nephi 17:21
21 And when he had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them.

The Prophet has encouraged us to "spread the love of Jesus Christ throughout the world"...
He invited us to consider:
"Who do you know who may be discouraged? Who might you need to reconcile with or ask for forgiveness? Has one name been on your mind lately, though you haven’t quite known why?

He then promised us that as we take these names prayerfully to the Lord, He will inspire us to know how to help and reach out to the one. I know that as we follow through with this invitation from the Prophet, we will discover true joy!

Have another really great week! Go find the one!

 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...
