Beautiful days in the city

2008 Humanitarian trip to Bacalar , Mexico

2009 Graduation from High School

Well 20 years ago was a time of big hair and mullets.  It was during this era when Elder Jake David Miller came into this world.  Seems like yesterday, but oh man how time flies. It has been a very adventure filled 20 years. Praying with "elk Heavenly Father" instead of Deer (Dear) Heavenly Father (thanks pops), peein my pants when we were out at Strawberry sleddin, reppin the saweet bull cut while building my mountain train, obtaining and saying the "DO YA" phrase ah classic, being on student council, running out of gas a couple times in my truck, Mr. Caveman pageant and receiving the Mr. Entertainer award, the saweet mullet!!!! My bull cuts, and you can't forget graduation hair doo yeah that was pretty dang saweet!!!! When I fell off the scafolding when I was working for Benny and cracked my crack.  Oh wow these are only a few of the memorable moments in my life and there are many more.  Yes I am growing up. I'm getting older maybe a little wiser but I do feel fatter ha ha.  I stepped on the scale today and I about died. I am up to 143. Yeah I was shocked. I got myself a little tortilla aka gut!!! I think that is where I got my extra weight. It makes me sick. I'm doing a bunch of stuff to slim up as best I can. I still got my six pack, it's just not as defined as it used to be. Don't worry I'm gonna do some work.

  So I bought myself some ties today and they are so saweet!!! They were 3 for one!!!! I was stoked!!! They are skinny ties. Oh they are so rad. I was super excited.  Mom I'm sorry but they will be tied short because that's just me. haha.

  This week was way awesome in the city.  Elder Ripley and I completed all of our goals. We were so stoked. The Lord put a lot of cool people into our path. We have a family of 5 that we are teaching and another lady named Yenni that is so awesome.  She is like 22 and reminds me of Jacee. She is a little ball of energy!! We are going to keep on working hard and we should have a bunch of baptisms on the 26th of this month!! Yeah!!!!!!!!

  Oh family if you could pray for the people in Apatzingan.  I'm worried for them, all of the people in my little ward. They are having a really rough time down there in the ranch right now. Nobody can leave or come into the city it is shutdown and including the missionaries are still there. They can't leave yet it's just too dangerous. Please keep them in your prayers. I love those people!

Elder Miller loved the time he served in "the ranch" (Apatzingan).

I love all of you so much. More than all of the colors on my new ties!!! haha

have the best week ever

keep the faith

share your testimony

live life!!

ELDER JAKE DAVID MILLER

David and I found out about the problems in "the ranch" on Friday before this email came Monday.  The situation is serious and there is so much unrest.  We know the Lord is aware of the missionaries, we have felt this first hand.  The mission president's wife sent an email Saturday, confirming the unrest.  They don't think the unrest will move as far as the city.  For now they have asked all missionaries to increase their efforts in the work, increase obedience and to follow the counsel they are given. We wondered on Saturday what Jake would know of this situation, from the above email, he knows and is very concerned for those in his little ward and the two spanish missionaries.  The seven months he spent in this area were a blessing to him. He was transferred 10 days before the violence broke out.
