hey everybody

Hey everybody,

Can you believe that this time has past?  I can't and I really am filled with mixed emotions. I don't really know what to think. It hasn't really hit me yet that I am coming home.  It is just so weird.  My life is so normal to me. I know what I have to do each and every day and I know how to do it. It just comes to me so fluently.  So I am still not at that point of  "no way!!!  I am going home" but I am sure it will come sometime in this week. It is incredible, everything that has happened in these 2 years. I have been pondering a lot this last week on everything that I have learned and all of the experience I have gained. It is overwhelming but very amazing.  When I first arrived here in Mexico, my mission President asked me "what do you want out of your mission?"  I told him that I wanted to become the man that my Heavenly Father wanted me to be.  That is always what I have desired and it is why I have strived so hard to always give it my best.  I know that I have become this person.  The spirit has testified to my heart that it is. I am so grateful for my life and everything that God has given me.  Through all of the trials and challenges God was able to shape and mold me into the son that He knows that I am.  I am so grateful for everything but I know that there is more molding to happen.  This was a very good preparation for me for the rest of my life because everyday there will be opportunities to learn and grow. It is so amazing and I know that I am ready for this next step in my life.  I'm unsure of how I will do it exactly but I know that as I always put my trust in the Lord and obey His commandments, I will always be blessed in my life temporally and spiritually.

I am Elder Miller a son God.  I have been called to represent His Son Jesus Christ, which is a calling for life. It is a calling that I hold very dear to my heart for I know that my Savior lives and that He loves us. He came to the earth to save all mankind, if they will only listen to His voice.  He has carried all of the sins and burdens of all of us so that we may know how to return unto the Father.  The power of the everlasting atonement has the power to heal for I have witnessed it.  All of us can feel this love from our Savior if we will come unto him.  His arms are always opened to receive us. All He asks us to do is have a broken heart and a contrite spirit that we may have faith in Him and repent of our sins so that we may make a covenant with the Father by entering into the waters of baptism to have our sins washed away so we can be sanctified to receive the Holy Ghost. Then we must show our love and faith and endure to the end. This is the gospel of Christ, the master has taught us and we must follow if we want to obtain eternal life. There is no other way but through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We are here to experience joy and happiness.  I testify to you all that this is the only way.  There is no other way.  I am so blessed to have the gospel in my life and I am so grateful for every moment I have to serve our King. I know He lives.

con mucho mucho amor

Hey Happy New Year everyone!!!

Man the new year down here was so crazy!!! We went and ate dinner with a family and it was really good. It's a fun little family. In this family only the daughter is baptized and she has like 16 years.  The rest of her family are not members and are a little wild but we have been working with them little by little and they are starting to come around. The mom actually invited us to eat with them this week, so we are happy that they are coming along little by little. After we left to go home, the streets were crazy. People had their music going full blast and everyone was doing fireworks and drinking. It was crazy. I am glad we got home safe. We were in the house later when it was midnight, it sounded like a warzone out side our house.  It was crazy there were fireworks and gunshots and everything. 

We are teaching a kid that's named Antonio. He is super cool. We started teaching him this week and he is 20. He was talking with us about his friends of the church and how different they were from the rest of the youth. They had a light about them.  He told us that he felt like there was something that was missing in his life but he was willing to do anything in order to fill this hole in his life. He talked to us about how he liked to be direct in everything he does.   We said that is great because we are the same way and we invited him to be baptized in the first visit.  He said yes. He is progressing really well. He is reading everyday and he received an answer from God that the Book of Mormon is true!!  He is just a stud.

Oh Elder Olsen got changed and is no longer with us. It was sad but he is needed in other parts. We did have another change Elder Cruz and I received bikes. Yeah, I was so stoked.  Now we cruz around on bikes and it is awesome. I taught my companion how to do a pop a wheelie this week, it was super funny.

well I love you all a lot

live life love life
