HEY, HEY, HEY! Who is
happy today?! This girl!!!!
Guess who are companions
again?!?!?! If you said Hermana Pocock and I, you are 100% WRONG! Get this - Hermana
Buhler and I are together again! Never saw that one coming! It's crazy that the
last time we were together we were in Mexico, and now we will be in Grand
Island and hitting our 6 month mark together this transfer. Time flies. We have
both grown up so much in such a short time. Someone once told me something
before the mission, they said: "The mission wasn't the best time of my
life....but it WAS the best time FOR my life." I can truly testify that
going on a mission was the best decision I ever made. It has changed me so much
and made me such a better person-better than I ever could have become without
it. I still have such a long way to go, but I now know the keys and habits to
pursue to continue this lifelong upward progression. But I have to say, that I
disagree with the first part-despite all the challenges and disappointments
lately, I would be the most ungrateful and blind person of all history if I
didn't say that the mission has been the best time of my life. I know I have
sounded kind of frustrated and down lately, and yes, it has been tough, but I
am still happier than I ever have been in my whole life. These people, this
work, and the Lord are worth the tears. And the payback is sooo sweet it
overshadows every hard moment, by far. I am so blessed to be a missionary and
get to share the joy of the restored and complete gospel of Jesus Christ.
I KNOW that The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true, with every fiber of my being. If you
have any doubts, I challenge you to go on LDS.org and watch each session of
General Conference with an open heart and mind, and just try telling me after
that that those men and women are not absolutely called of and inspired by
God. They truly are special witnesses of Christ. I received so much spiritual
revelation and comfort this weekend. Truly blessed. I got to watch half the
sessions in English and the other half in Spanish...so that was wonderful. The
Spirit truly speaks all languages. If you didn't get a chance to watch all the
sessions of Conference-do it! I promise you will hear something you
specifically need. I know the Lord is tenderly aware of each one of us, and
loves us dearly. He knows what we go through and will go through, and that is
why He has given us a living prophet today-so that He can give us that direct
fatherly counsel and comfort that He knows our hearts need. He is wonderful. I
love Him.
I am excited for this new
transfer, we have made so many HUGE goals and plans and are already putting
them in action. Be on the look-out for miracles. Buckle up, Grand Island.
I love you all, I am
doing well. The foot is healing okay and the tendinitis in the knees is being
made up for by the Lord. He takes care of His representatives.
Don't forget to review
your Conference notes, and pray to set new goals for the next six months. I
know that pattern is a way to continue progressing through your whole life.
Don't be shy to share the gospel-if we truly love our brothers and sisters, we
will do it, and nothing will be able to stop us from sharing it. When we love
someone, we want them to have the best things possible. Think about all the
blessings you have seen in your lives from the gospel. Other people deserve
those too. Don't be selfish. Go share this message of love, hope, and eternal
and joyful families.
I love you all! Be an
example of the believers!
Love, Hermana Miller ;)
