♦ Elder Miller week 99 (7/8/24)

 Bon siman!


It was a neat week with some pretty unique experiences. Here are a few...

On Tuesday after some time working with the government we were able to go visit a member in the Aruba Penitentiary. It was an experience I'll never forget. A really sad/hard situation but I was glad we could get in and share God's plan of redemption with this member.

We know a guy down in our area who (like many people in Aruba) works up in the Hotels and with tourism. He is in charge of the wildlife at the Hyatt Hotel and he gave us a sweet tour of the grounds this past week. I can see why people call this vacation spot 'paradise'. Breathtaking for sure and fun to see a part of the island that missionary work doesn't often take me.

This scripture in the Book of Mormon really stood out to me this week and I wanted to share it...

Mormon 3:3
3 And I did cry unto this people, but it was in vain; and they did not realize that it was the Lord that had spared them, and granted unto them a chance for repentance...

I have a testimony of how aware God is of each one of us. He knows your name. He knows exactly where you've been and has such big plans for where you can go. I promise you He is in every detail of your life. I invite each of you to take a moment this week when the list of to-dos starts piling up to be still and realize how the Lord is blessing you in that very moment. I know you won't regret it!

Have a great week, stay cool
-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...
