♦ Elder Miller week 98 (7/1/24)

 Bon tardi atrobe!


This past week went really well! We have an awesome friend named Nayla that we are teaching and she is working towards a baptism at the end of the month!

One day this last week we set apart 4-hours to go about finding people to teach in a new and old-school way! We found a complex of government 3-story apartment buildings and decided to knock on every door. When we finished it ended up being 11 buildings and 143 doors! We were beat by the end but found some really cool people we will start teaching and got a taste of what missionary work might be like in big cities! Pretty fun.

Aruba is heating up! Like it has been so hot lately. Thankfully there are people we run into that are kind to give us water as we go.

Had some hard goodbyes with the Lamprechts finishing their mission. They have been everything I have needed as mission leaders. Sad to see them go but excited for the Van Gils to come in and keep things rolling.

Here's a scripture that impacted me this week, I hope it will for you too...
2 Nephi 32:3
3...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.

The Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson has pleaded with us to make time for studying the words of Christ. "If you truly love your family and if you desire to be exalted with them throughout eternity, pay the price now—through serious study and fervent prayer—to know these eternal truths and then to abide by them". It really is that important! I invite you to recommit with me in not only being better about reading the scriptures, but truly feast upon them! It'll be one of the highlights of your day, I promise.

Have a great week and happy Independence Day! We are so blessed!
-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...
