Merry Christmas everyone!!😄
So I had another awesome week. To start off we hit standards again! So
hitting standards isn't huge, because it's called standards, but it's
not just something easy you get by waking up and walking around ya
know. The hardest for us right now is finding new investigators. On
Tuesday we came across this guy who was setting up some pretty cool
lights in his front yard. Started talking to us and he invited us in.
He seems pretty open and had a lot of questions. So there's 1 new
investigator!. Then I was going through the ward list a saw that there
was a 9 ur old that wasn't baptized. We stopped in wed and his mom
said that she wanted us to teach him so his baptism meant more to him.
So that's what we're going to do! 2 boom we hit standards. We are
going to see how many times we can do it in a row. 😁
Everyday I can count on something awesome from my 12 days of Christmas
letters. Everyday I get different letters from you guys and it's the
best. Thank you for all your letters and love and support, but
especially thank you mom for setting it all up for me😊 and the tree
is looking pretty good haha. So with that plus grandmas treats from my
other 12 days things it's been Christmas everyday! And I keep getting
different packages and I'm super excited to open them. The only thing
is I don't know who their from? But Thank you! Haha it definitely felt
more like Christmas this week with the presents and tree, but
especially with the spirit that I've been able to feel throughout this
week. We had lots of different lessons and neat experiences with all
kinds of people at the beginning of the week, and the weekend just
made it perfect.
We had our Christmas conference on Friday and it was incredible. So we
split the mission between three different days, but my group was
Friday. Anyway we all met up and rode a bus together, about 70
missionaries, to the Mesa temple! We got there at about 10 and got to
tour their newly reopened visitors center. It's awesome. They have all
these really neat new displays/exhibits. It was really cool. Then we
watched a movie of Christ's birth. I think I forget most years that
Christ was born pretty much in a cave. Like you think of a nice little
stable or something, but this video shows this dirty cave and it
reminded me truly how humbly he came into this world. That our King
and Savior was born in a gross little cave. It then went on and showed
parts of his life and was through narration of the apostle Paul. It
was cool. After the video we went out side and president talked to all
of us and bore his testimony of the atonement. It was awesome. He is
such a spiritual man, and every time he talks to us he puts things
ways that just are perfect. We then all went and did an endowment
session. Wow. It was so cool to see that many of us in the temple all
together with our president and his wife. I also felt the spirit so
strong, and received so much love and comfort from Heavenly Father.
The temple is such a powerful place. If you are ever down, need the
spirit, have questions, the temple is the place to go. I know that
it's the Lords house and the spirit will always be there. I love the
temple so much.
After, we went to an awesome buffet. It was funny because we pretty
much took the whole restaurant hahaha. After dinner we went back to
the temple and got to walk around the lights. They were really pretty.
It's was weird with having seen the salt lake lights, like I wouldn't
say they were worse or better, just different, and both really pretty.
They had some a awesome displays and the last one was the manger with
president monson voice reading from Luke. It was a fun night, kinda a
big break time to hang with other friends, and feel the spirit really
strong. It was a pretty awesome day.
So if that's not enough for this week, Saturday at about 11:00 we get
a phone call. It's our mission president, and he says he'll be there
in 2 min! We were all freaking out trying to clean, and figure out why
he would be coming, and it was crazy. He arrives, and has us sit down.
He starts off with how sometimes there has to be emergency transfers
and that when that happens one companion ship has to get split up and
they didn't do anything wrong. Well turns out that elder Rodriguez is
getting transferred 😢 I'm actually really sad. He's a super nice guy,
he's the one that knows the area and the ward, and he's been the one
taking us around haha. So then on top of him just leaving in the
middle of the transfer he's going up north in the snow and he has no
warm clothes, so president gave us permission to go get him a coat and
stuff. So we're just at the mall on a non pday haha it was weird. Then
we spent that night/Sunday visiting members for him to say goodbye. So
he leaves tomorrow morning. I really am sad though because he's a
super nice guy, and we've had some fun.
After getting him all ready to go, I was able to go back to Monte
Vista for valdomeros baptism!! He's the 9 year old boy that we were
working with that I put on date a few weeks before I left. It was
awesome to see such a young boy mature while learning about this and
see he choose to do this. He was nervous every but kept saying how
excited he was. It was super fun to see elder wells again and a lot of
the members including Nikki! It was fun. I love being out here, and
the feelings at baptisms are the best.
Sunday, it being the Sunday before Christmas, we sang in a little
choir for the sacrament meeting, as well as later that night in a
stake fireside. It was a very well done program and there were a bunch
of different musical #s all celebrating our savior.
A lot of you have told me how I am lucky to be out here especially at
this time of Christmas, and you are all so right! It has been an
incredible Christmas season full of the spirit and remembering our
savior. In just this short time my testimony of my savior has grown so
much. I am so grateful for Him and the atonement. The feeling of being
able to be forgiven from our mistakes is indescribable. And then the
strength and comfort he gives because of His perfect love is
incredible. I love Him and will always be thankful for him.
I love this scripture. As a mission we read it every morning since
I've been on the mission. It's Alma 7:10-12
10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the
land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen
vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the
Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.
11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and
temptations of every kind;and this that the word might be fulfilled
which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his
people.
12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of
death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their
infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to
the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his
people according to their infirmities.
Love you guys soo much
Merry Christmas everyone 😄🤗😜😊🎄🎄

Address Update 12.14.15
This is an update to my previous email regarding the new address of the Arizona Phoenix Mission Office. After several discussions with the post office, we discovered that we cannot have the new address approved and set up in their system until we have a permanent mailbox installed. This is to be handled by the architect of the new building, and will not be done for a few weeks. So we are forced to have you send all packages (letters seem to get to us OK, so they can be sent to the new address) to the old address of 18001 N 79th Ave., Glendale, AZ 85308 for the next month or so, and the post office will then forward it to us. We will keep you informed as to when the mailbox is installed.
12.14.15
What's up everybody 😄
I had an awesome week! Physically not so great but spiritually it's
been one of the best if not the best weeks as a whole.
Monday night I got super sick 🤒😷 and just felt like crap,and nothing
was getting better. Really until today I have felt awful. Then some
stuff happened with members and that was super stressful because my
companions didn't want to do anything about so it was left up to me,
and couple other things but just a lot dumb things that were trying to
get in my way a of spirit packed week.
So Tuesday, we were having a lesson with a girl named Lesley. She's
almost 17 and is awesome, kinda like everyone in my emails, because I
only talk about awesome people 😋 haha. But ya so in these past week
and a half we've been going by there a lot, and Tuesday's was our 4
lesson with her. As we are all talking I feel the spirit really
strong, and feel like I should ask her to pick a date for baptism. We
had tallied a little about before but, I was kinda confused at first
because we had just taught tithing and the plan was to teach a few
more commandments, but I felt it again. So I brought it up and
immediately she said "yes and act sully I was already thinking about
the 16!can we do that?" It was sweet! After that the spirit was just
really powerful and it was a great lesson.
Then We had zone meeting on Thursday. It was really good. It was the
first time I met the other district. Turns out it's all dudes haha.
It's actually kinda weird without sisters but it's whatever for now.
There were some awesome discussions, and the focus was becoming a
better missionary, in the sense of working your hardest at all the
time. It was a good push for me, and I ended up working the hardest I
have on my mission so far. That night we went to A kid named Jose.
He's 15, and is likes learning about he church. This is my second
lesson with him, but I guess he has been taught a while. In the
lesson, my companion, elder cespedes (one of my two haha) has the same
feelings I had had with Lesley, and helps Jose pick a baptismal date
as well!! January 26. So super excited for him.
Then some more crap happens, but right when stuff was happening our
roommates walk in with a package from my grandma! Perfect timing!!
Like right when I need a little pick me up, something happens. I am
definitely be watched over😊 that morning we had been talking about
how it didn't really feel like Christmas, no Christmas music, no snow,
but especially in our house with out a tree. So what's in the package,
snow in a can(which I'm still a little puzzled at that haha) snow
flakes to hang and a tree!!🎄❄️☃🎄 well sorta haha. It's this big
paper tree and everyday for 12 days I get to open a letter and get
another ornament and a letter from the family! It's awesome! Thank you
thank you grandma for putting that all together, and thank you to
anyone that participated, because the letters so far have not been
from the grandma that sent me the package haha. Thank You. It brought
a Christmasy feeling 😊🎅🏼🎁
But wait there's more (hehe😜)
Then Saturday we had our baptism. It was crazy because everything fell
apart right before the baptism. Like everything! Everyone thought it
was next week, none of the speakers came, we couldn't print the
programs and then we couldn't turn the font on and just
aaaaaahhhhhhhh. But we eventually figured it all out, and the baptisms
were awesome, and the spirit was there too, and brought peace with it.
Elder rodriguez( my other companion) baptized Juan Carlos, and his old
companion baptized lizet. So ya took a lot but 2 more baptisms!! I
only taught them twice, but I did everything, literally everything, so
I'm counting them haha.
So Sunday roles around, and as we are talking about stuff, we realize
that we could hit our mission goals/standards for that week! It
consists of 1 baptized (per transfer) 2with a date, 2 attending
sacrament, and 2 new investigators. So now we have 2 on date, 2
baptized, and we just had 2 at sacrament so all we need is 2
investigators. We really want to do this, but we have no idea how we
are going to do it. We have no one specifically that we feel can
become investigators and one companion just gave up and said we
wouldn't be able to. But before we leave I say a prayer with them and
I ask that we can hit standards and find 2 new investigators. After,
we head out and go to a few members and stuff we had, not really sure
how we were going to get these investigators. We end up in this little
apartment area, and can't find the people we are looking for and start
heading back to the car. As we are leaving I have this little feeling
that we should try this random door. It doesn't look anything
specially just a really really little feeling. So we knock, and we get
let in to a super nice family's house. We had a awesome lesson about
Christ, and we got another time to come back!! Not two, but three new
investigators! Total answer to our prayers. It was so cool. We were
super excited. I was really grateful for the prompting I was given,
and that we were able to find those people.
This week would have been hard being sick, and honestly being really
stressed with some stuff and people, but I was blessed with the spirit
really strong this week, and it ended up being a great week.
I am so grateful that I have the gospel in my life. I don't know where
I would be right now if I didn't. And then to be blessed with the gift
of the spirit, and be able to have it with me everyday is an
incredible blessing of being apart of Christ's only true church.
I love being out here and love being a missionary.
I love you guys, and am sad I can't be around for Christmas, but am so
glad I get to have this incredible experiences.
Love you guys.
Listen to some Christmas music for me and play in some snow hahaha

12.7.15
So I got transferred! I'm now across the freeway in Glendale, in a
ward called solano. It's a lot different over here, very different
environment and very different ward. A lot more apartments and trailer
parks haha. So not only is the area different but my transfer was
different too. So Monday morning president called this companionship
that had gotten together just two weeks ago because of some prior
problems with another area, but he told them to go to transfers. They
were super confused and got ready and came to transfer meeting. So we
all go to a church, and basically president just stands and reads off
who is going where. So he's going through and elder wells gets his
companion, my other friends are getting there's and my names not
called. He gets all the way to the last area, so of course I'm going
there right. Well he calls two names and one of them is not mine?!?! I
was so confused. And then he said oh ya and it's actually going to be
a trio with elder miller. It was so weird. So ya were in a trio! It's
just so different. Like everything is meant for two, we practice
lessons in two, the apartment is for two, it's just crazy. Like we are
in a tiny apartment with 5 of us haha and sadly I'm on the floor 😬
the bathroom situation is interesting to say the least.
So my companions name are elder cespedes and elder Rodriguez. Cespedes
was born in Bolivia where is mom is from and his dad is Argentinian,
but he grew up in the D.C metro area. He's a cool dude. We've been out
the same amount of time, he just didn't go to the MTC as long as me.
And elder Rodriguez is straight from Argentina. He's been out about 16
months. Our assumption is that he'll probably leave this next transfer
and cespedes and I will take over, but we'll see. That's still 6 weeks
away haha. I've come to realize how great my last ward and area was
because we've done nothing but finding this week haha. Not one
lesson😢 but it's all good. I'm down to work hard and get this place
going 😄
I'm s crazy that it's Christmas. It doesn't feel like Christmas at all
over here haha. I think a big part is no snow. Another one is no
family😕 but it's all good. I set up my little nativity and picture so
I'm feeling a little more Christmasy haha. And then at transfers I got
a package and a letter! It was awesome thank you thank you Minnicks
for the package. The Carmel things are delicious. Everyone keep asks
me for them there about gone and I got them on wed haha. I promise I
haven't opened the 12 day countdown yet haha,but I'm excited so it.
And Mathews thank you for the card 😃 I love getting anything like
that. It's like Christmas every time I hear from any one haha.
Speaking of that, obviously my address changed, but so did the mission office.
So the mission office is
(Missionary's Name)

Elder Miller 1st transfer... 12.1.15
Hey hey
So got the call yesterday I'm getting transferred. I didn't think it
would be this hard wow. So after I found out, we went to a few
families and I was so sad and me being a baby was crying hahah. I
did not think it would be this hard. I feel like I just got my new
family AGAIN and now I'm leaving them all AGAIN. ugh but ya guess
that's another part of the mission. So ya got all packed up this
morning and ready to go. I won't find out where I go till the big
meeting tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous but excited as well.
So that'll be tomorrow, but this last week was pretty awesome. So
obviously thanksgiving was Thursday. We weren't allowed to go
proselyte or anything because again obviously people are going to be
busy so we sat in our house al day haha. We did get to go to dinner
and it was really fun. We went to a family in the ward who is really
poor but we're so proud of having us for dinner, they were telling
everyone at church haha. It was really good too. We had turkey but it
was all dark meat and in salsa haha. It was tasty. The. We had beans
and rice and torillas. It was good. We played some little games but
eventually had to go home. So we watched the testament and went to bed
early haha. Then on Friday I got a awesome package from the fam.
Thank you!! It was awesome. It was a "traditional" thanksgiving dinner
in a box hahah. Sadly I haven't had time to make it with transfers and
everything but I'm kinda excited haha. And I got an awesome nativity,
so now I can feel all Christmasy 🏼 haha it was fun. And Saturday
was super! It was pretty crazy but good. So let's start with what time
I woke up at. 4 4AM. It was awful hahah but so worth it, because we
got to go to the temple. We woke up that early because we needed time
to get ready then go to the district leaders house to get them and
then the rule is you have to have a member give you a ride so we had
to go to another house. And then the session started at 6. But it was
awesome. I love the temple. And this one is beautiful. It's only
barely a yr old and it is super nice. The temple is always amazing and
the spirit is so strong. I'm so thankful to have a temple in my
mission, as well as get to go every quarter. After the temple we took
a little nap, then Headed out to go to a few referrals we received.
When we got to both houses they were both so open and super excited to
have us there. I'm sad I won't be there to see them progress but they
are both so ready. After we went to prepare for nikis baptism. It was
incredible. The spirit was so so strong and everyone was crying and it
was just incredible everyone said that that was the strongest they've
felt the spirit at any baptism. Rosa (her sister) gave a beautiful
talk on the spirit and then Niki bore her testimony and just wow she
is amazing and I'm gong to miss her so much her and rosa have taught
me so much and have strengthened my testimony a ton. They are so
strong and some of the best people I've ever met. I am definitely
going to miss them the most.
Then on Sunday we were able to finally able to get Blanca to tell us
to pick a date so next time elder wells is going to give her a date
for her baptism. And when she does I get to come back for the baptism!
And get to see everyone. I'm already excited for that day
So ya pretty fun week. I'll let u know how tomorrow goes and who I'm
with and where I end up.
Gotta go.
Love u guys

and it was really fun. We went to a family in the ward who is really
poor but we're so proud of having us for dinner, they were telling
everyone at church haha. It was really good too. We had turkey but it
was all dark meat and in salsa haha. It was tasty. The. We had beans
and rice and torillas. It was good. We played some little games but
eventually had to go home. So we watched the testament and went to bed
early haha. Then on Friday I got a awesome package from the fam.
Thank you!! It was awesome. It was a "traditional" thanksgiving dinner
in a box hahah. Sadly I haven't had time to make it with transfers and
everything but I'm kinda excited haha. And I got an awesome nativity,
so now I can feel all Christmasy 🏼 haha it was fun. And Saturday
was super! It was pretty crazy but good. So let's start with what time
I woke up at. 4 4AM. It was awful hahah but so worth it, because we
got to go to the temple. We woke up that early because we needed time
to get ready then go to the district leaders house to get them and
then the rule is you have to have a member give you a ride so we had
to go to another house. And then the session started at 6. But it was
awesome. I love the temple. And this one is beautiful. It's only
barely a yr old and it is super nice. The temple is always amazing and
the spirit is so strong. I'm so thankful to have a temple in my
mission, as well as get to go every quarter. After the temple we took
a little nap, then Headed out to go to a few referrals we received.
When we got to both houses they were both so open and super excited to
have us there. I'm sad I won't be there to see them progress but they
are both so ready. After we went to prepare for nikis baptism. It was
incredible. The spirit was so so strong and everyone was crying and it
was just incredible everyone said that that was the strongest they've
felt the spirit at any baptism. Rosa (her sister) gave a beautiful
talk on the spirit and then Niki bore her testimony and just wow she
is amazing and I'm gong to miss her so much her and rosa have taught
me so much and have strengthened my testimony a ton. They are so
strong and some of the best people I've ever met. I am definitely
going to miss them the most.
Then on Sunday we were able to finally able to get Blanca to tell us
to pick a date so next time elder wells is going to give her a date
for her baptism. And when she does I get to come back for the baptism!
And get to see everyone. I'm already excited for that day
So ya pretty fun week. I'll let u know how tomorrow goes and who I'm
with and where I end up.
Gotta go.
Love u guys
