Hermana Miller: Week
10: Hola Queridos Gringos!
(Jajaja I
love being able to say that.)
MERRY ALMOST CHRISTMAS! I am going to
apologize in advance, this is going to be really short because I have zero
time. But it is the thought that counts, right?
This week was a blur.
We had our Zone Conference and that was incredible. I truly love all these
missionaries, and especially the Westons. They are amazing. Some people knitted
all the sisters in the entire mission slippers so that was darling. Guess what
I did at the Conference? SANG. I know, right?! I don't even know who I am
anymore. I have a video but you will have to wait 16 months to hear it. Sorrryyyy.
(We can't use Flickr according the white handbook.) Hermana Pocock, Sister
Reidhead, and Sister Fulbright (Yeah, Bri Fulbright's COUSIN! Small world!) and
I sang "Cantan Santos Angeles" which is "Angels We Have Heard On
High..." mixed in English and Spanish. It was really nice! The theme of
the Conference was the Atonement so it was amazing.
We had to move
Esthela's baptism. (BOO!) But it is okay because we are throwing her a boda
this week. That's right-she is going to get married finally! Then she has
to go back to Mexico for a month but after that we will baptize her. I love her
so, so, so much. I have been really sick this week. (Pneumonia is what all the
cool kids get here. Don't have it yet, but heading there possibly. Don't worry
mom, I am using my inhaler and feeling fine. And don't worry dad, I am still
working my behind off. Walking around in the cold for hours most days still.)
But Esthela has been my mom. She gives me medicine and herbal tea, and even
gave me a beautiful scarf that matches my red skirt. WOW.
Hermana Pocock and I
found a Veteran's care home right near our apartment and we are going to start
volunteering there. I can't wait. I already love them all so much. We were in
there the other day and got a mini-tour sort of thing and talked to a hilarious
man named Lou who is 95 and acts like he is 25! He is the greatest. I can't
wait to see him again, even though he told us he was planning on kicking the
bucket soon. What a card!
Anyways, don't have
much time. Sorry! But I love you all and hope you are remembering the reason
for the season. Keep Christ in CHRISTmas. He has given us everything, and He
asks for so little in return. Just our hearts. I love my sweet brother
Christ with everything that I have. And my Heavenly Father is just too good to
me. He keeps my spirits high when times get frustrating out here.
Todo mi Corazon!
Hermanita Miller :)
