Okay, so I had literally one of the BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE THIS WEEK.  This week was pretty much the best week of my life not even exaggerating.  MANOLO, NOELIA, AND DANIEL WERE BAPTIZED!!!! I don´t think my joy has ever been so full as when I watched them each come up out of the water, clean and pure and ah!  Oh my.  It was literally priceless, when i look at those two beautiful children (Noelia is 10 and Dani is 9) I literally see missionaries, they both want to serve and they are so intelligent and kind and wonderful...I know they will continue in righteousness.  The Lord has been preparing this family for years to embrace this gospel.  Ah, and now they´ve entered into the gate and wow, I am happier than I´ve ever been because of this!!!  I have never felt joy like this before.  It is something beyond anything I could imagine!  When they bore their testimonies afterward, Daniel said, ¨When I came up out of the water I had joy, I felt like I do when I read the Book of Mormon.¨ Oh my, what an example to me!  We should all realize the blessing we have of this gospel, and be filled with joy as we get to live it!!!! Ah. I love Heavenly Father, and now i have my own, personal testimony that He is preparing the hearts of the children of men to recieve His gospel, it was by His grace that we came to know this wonderful family and now they´re on their way to being an eternal family by being sealed in the temple!  I am so grateful for members who are anxious to share the gospel with their friends- that´s how we came to start teaching them, it was because a member of our ward is their family friend and now look, THEY´RE BAPTIZED and happy and grateful that they can now fully embrace the blessings Heavenly Father has for them!  I´m so grateful.

Also, this week Hermana Andrew, our third companion came! She is from Ohio and ah, she is hilarious! I am not gonna lie, i kinda wanted to go my whole mission without having to do a trio, but I love it!!!  It´s awesome, a little hard to organize time but so worth it!  It keeps things interesting having three of us around, and we all get along really well!  It´s a party, and we teach well together too, i think! Ha, Hermana Andrew studied spanish for six years before the mission, she has been here for 7 months and she is fantastic at speaking!  I thought maybe i would be quieter with my spanish and have less time to talk during lessons, but I´ve been trying harder ever since she came and i mess up a ton, and i´m not really sure if i´m making much progress but I go a little further than i used to in trying to just have conversations with people and such, i love it!

Ah, also this last week was so dang hard!!! Our Elders left!  Elders Bird and Sharp and Church and oh my, i was about to cry.  Ha, Manolo and his family invited us all over for pizza the night before the transfers and it was a blast!  But after dinner we were teaching a lesson so the elders had to leave and that was going to be the last time i saw them, so I was so sad!  As i shook hands with Elder Church he was all, ¨Don´t cry Hermana..¨ and I told him i was about to, ha, then he said, ¨This is the mission, you´re gonna have to get used to this.¨ Hahaha ahhh i hate goodbyes. And Elder Sharp is my mission dad since he was my first district leader, and he helped me so much! So at the start of our lesson I´m not gonna lie i was pretty down, but then that was the night that we brought up their baptism date for the first time since we set it with them in our first lesson, and they said yes they still wanted to be baptized and wow that turned my mood around fast!  Then i was still about to cry but for joy and gratitude! Haha, oh the highs and lows of the mission..it´s so much fun and unexpected sometimes!

And yesterday Manolo, Noelia, and Dani recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost and it was powerful.  I didn´t understand much but the spirit was super strong and it was an incredible moment! 

Last night was a little weird, we visited a member and I felt like I understood and could speak a little bit and after our lesson with them I was on a high!  I was so happy and excited and just plain joyous about life.  So then we went to visit another member.  The wife is wonderful, i love her so much! Ha, but her husband jokingly said I was ugly, and trust me, I can take a joke, i laughed and knew he was kidding and I thought it was funny!  But then he said it like seven more times and I was just like, okay....not really funny anymore.  Then he was calling his wife fat and I got ticked.  (By the way this guy is large and not the best looking guy so i was just confused as to how he felt comfortable tearing other people down for their looks.)  I was so mad i could barely see straight.  My comps started to share a spiritual thought and i just sat there mad and silent, then he was like, ¨Hermana Miller (insert something in spanish that i didnt really understand or listen to)?¨ And i just turned to him and was like, ¨i dont really understand and i dont have much to say¨ then i tried to bear my testimony on how we´ve made convenants with God to help and serve one another and that includes helping people in our own families, then i turned to my comps and in english said, yep that´s all i have to say.  Oh man it was tense.  And my comps felt bad cuz they could tell i was mad and sad.  But yeah we finished the spiritual thought and were about to say the prayer, and I wasnt really feeling the spirit super strong, because i let my bad feelings get in the way of that, and he turns to me and is like, ¨i want hermana miller to say it.¨  I said I didnt want to say it and told Hermana Andrew to say it.  And please dont think i act like this often, I am always willing to say the prayers even if it´s grammatically terrible and I am usually good at holding in my feelings because i recognize that i am here to represent Christ, but last night...wow it was rough.  I was just like, why is he calling me ugly and calling his wife fat and his missionary daughter fat and being a jerk ahhhhhhh. I was so frustrated.  But he insisted that i say the prayer, so i said i would. I have never said a more sincere prayer at someones house than that one.  Wow, i felt the bad feelings sort of leave me and i felt heavenly father´s love for me and for this wonderful woman in our ward.  I would like to say i felt an overwhelming Christ like love for this man in our ward, but i didn´t- obviously I´ve still got a lot to work on. Hahaha.

But it was just crazy, cuz the day before i had told Hermana Andrew that I am more confident in myself here than i´ve ever been in my life.  I´ve never felt more inadequate and i´ve never repented so much but i just love who i am trying to become and I know I am being molded into what Heavenly Father wants and needs me to become.  Ha, and I´m just more confident about everything about me all around to tell you the truth.  So it was just interesting that a day later this would happen, but it was cool.  Because i went into their bathroom, looked in the mirror, and the evidence was right there that i´m not ugly. HAHAHA i´m kidding that´s not where i was going with this, but i did give myself a little pep talk.  I know Satan´s just trying to work on me, and it was great because i know that my confidence comes from knowing who i am eternally.  I am a child of God, I have really internalized that here.  I am trying my best to follow Him, and regardless of my weaknesses He loves me still, and I´m working on becoming better but for right now I´m trying and that´s what counts!  It was great, feeling a little torn down, but realizing i have a testimony of my divine nature and literally I feel even better about myself than i did before last night!  Because I know I am a daughter of God, and everyone else is also a child of God, and I know as I try to turn to Him, during those hard moments, and during those confident moments, I am changing.  I have to pick myself up and keep going because other people need to feel this joy i feel, this happiness of knowing where you came from, what your purpose is here, and where we´re headed.  And that Heavenly Father is here all along the way, so we don´t have to do it alone. 

I love this city! Almería is holy ground to me.  I am grateful i get to walk these streets everyday with this gospel message in my heart and my Heavenly Father and Savior by my side!

Love, Hermana Miller

Oh my this last week has been crazy and amazing and exciting!!! So on Tuesday afternoon I headed out on a bus for Málaga to go to the mission home to do my residency! Yes, it´s official, I am a resident of España!  Being with President and Hermana Deere and those missionaries from my MTC group was so great.  I said to President and Hermana Deere, ´´I´m hanging in there...but this is hard work!  My bishop told me it was going to be hard, my stake president told me it was going to be hard, my family told me it was going to be hard- so obviously I expected it to be difficult.  But i had no idea it was going to be THIS hard.´´ Haha they laughed and empathizathed with me.  But i assured them that i love it so so much, and i do! Ah, it´s seriously the best. 

 

So after doing residency things on Wednesday, i got to meet up with the one and only Hermana Israelson for intercambios! Oh my, she is wonderful!  I had such a great time with her, and I learned so much!  She is a great missionary. 

 

So i was out of Almería for two days, and i´m in love with Almería, so it was nice to get back!  And I missed Hermana Crockett, she´s so great! 

 

On Saturday we had a barbeque with a family in our ward and the other family i mentioned last week with a baptismal date! It was so much fun! Oh my, the food was delicious, and Hermana Crockett taught me how to make these unreal brownies, so we ate those. too!  And we had a super spiritual lesson with them afterwards...Saturday was a great day! 

 

Sunday, wow.. SUNDAY. It was one of the best sacrament meetings I have ever been too.  Hermana Crockett spoke, and also Elder Sharp our district leader.  Hermana Crocketts talk was one of the best I have ever heard.  I felt the Spirit so strongly, one of the most powerful times of my life.  She talked about the Restauración and missionary work.   She recited the first vision, and wow...it was powerful.  She also said that ¨´We may not see a pillar of light, like Joseph Smith did, but we can see the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives.¨ It was awesome!!!

 

Also, Elder Sharp talked about members and missionaries working together!  Which is so important in the work of Salvation.  He said, ´´I don´t believe you (members) are here to help us with our work.  I believe we (missionaries) are here to help YOU with your work.¨ Then he went on to say, ¨We´re all on the same team.  It´s not the missionaries are the players and the members are the spectators.  We´re all players, God and Jesus Christ are our coaches, our church leaders are our captains- but we are ALL players.¨ It is so true! We must all work together, that´s when the work of salvation is moved forward effectively! 

 

Also-- big changes this week!!! So half of my district, Elders Bird, Church, and Sharp are leaving our district! Ah, i´m so sad about it.  But Hermana Crockett and I are staying together- and one more Hermana is coming!!!! #TRIO

Crazy stuff- but it was cool cuz i just happened to meet the Hermana that´s coming when i was on intercambios in Málaga, so we already know each other and I am so excited!  And ha, for all you preparing to go on missions, just know ¨p-day¨ is not even close to a free day! Ha, today we´ve spent HOURS cleaning and rearranging our piso to fit three!  We all have to sleep in different beds in the same room, ha, so fitting three beds has been a challenge...lets just say our piso is pretty much completely different, but now we´re ready for Hermana Andrew and ah, big changes but we´re so excited! At first i was nervous and thinking, ´´Oh my, three hermana´s, one bathroom- this is never going to work!´´ But Hermana Crockett has been super positive and really has helped me to trust in the Lord and have a more positive outlook, i´m so grateful for her!  And grateful to the Lord because seriously the fact that our rearranging worked out is an answer to prayer!  Literally we prayed for His help.  We were freaking out a little. Haha but it all worked out!

 

 

Ah, I love life, and i love my district and i´m so sad many of them are leaving but I know it´s the Lord´s will and His work, and I´m excited for the future! 

 

Love, Hermana Miller

Okay so this has been the best week of my life!!!

So for starters, last Sunday night, like a little over a week ago someone in our ward introduced us to a family that his family is friends with.  The mother is a convert to the church but hasn´t been active for over a decade, and the father and two kids aren´t members.  So we went over that Sunday and had a family home evening with them that went REALLY well. So we made an appointment to go back and teach them Tuesday.  Then on Monday, the next day, when we were grocery shopping we saw the mother and said hello to her.  Then Tuesday we taught them the Plan of Salvation and COMMITTED THEM TO BAPTISM for the 22nd of Febrero!  How amazing, they just soak everything about the gospel up and they are amazingly prepared by the Lord.  Then on Wednesday, they all came to the english class we have at the church, and the Bishop happened to be there and gave them a TOUR OF THE CHURCH.  How incredible is that?!  Also the two kids met their primary teacher who comes to english class and she told them she would get folders prepared for them for church and got them excited.  Then Thursday we taught them the Restoration, and oh my it was unreal!  It went so well and the spirit was strong and wow...Also i want to share an experience about that night.  Please please please do not misunderstand and think i am boasting in myself- TRUST Me i´m not.  I´m boasting in the Lord and His goodness and mercy and okay, so anyway.  As we were teaching I decided i wanted to wait until the end to bear my testimony of Joseph Smith, we hadn´t taught about the Book of Mormon thoroughly yet, but suddenly i could see the lesson was wrapping up, and i saw my chance to bear my testimony quickly fleeting.  So i hurried and was just like, ¨Is it okay if i share my testimony?¨ But i said that and all of this in spanish so i´m sure it was more like. ¨To share testimony of me okay?¨ Or something gramatically incorrect like that.  Haha, anyway so I went on, in the most broken spanish this poor family has probably ever heard, to say that I know with all of my heart and soul that Joseph Smith truly did see God and Jesus Christ.  And i told them that i know that the Book of Mormon is true, and that´s because I read it, and got on my knees and prayed and asked Heavenly Father, and He answered my question and this knowledge has changed my life and I told them i knew it would change theirs.  All of that took a long time to say in spanish and i know tons of it was incorrect and it was a struggle, but that´s what i tried to say, and when i said it i felt the spirit burning inside of me because i truly believe with all my heart that these things are true.  But anyway, i couldnt fully tell if i had conveyed my testimony in a way that they could understand...but afterwards as the member of our ward gave us a ride to our piso he told us that he had went into the kitchen and talked with the father and he said that it was his favorite lesson, and also he said that he had felt the spirit during my testimony.  Now please understand this: that was probably the most gramatically incorrect testimony any missionary has ever shared.  I am not perfect and i really dont know Spanish all too well, but i opened my mouth and tried and the Lord allowed the Holy Ghost to testify of my words.  The Lord can work with anything, Brothers and Sisters.  Even with me, one of THE most imperfect vessels. Heavenly Father can use even just our simple testimonies and can send His spirit to the hearts of others.  Even if that testimony is small, or imperfect, He can work with that.  He can work with anything!  So trust Him, because wow i´ve never felt so much joy than i have in trying to be an instrument in His hands. 

So on with the story of this family, then they came to our family home evening at the church the next night, gave us a ride to the hospital to go visit someone, and then had us over to their house for pizza and to share a scripture.  Then Sunday they came to church!!! This family is incredible and they have shown us so much love, I can feel Heavenly Fathers desire for them to know the truth, because as they´re learning about the truths of this gospel they´re embracing it full heartedly, which is such a good example to me and what i want to do!

Also yesterday we went to the Alhambra, I´m so lucky i got to go my first transfer, oh man. It is gorgeous!

And i got the best news of my LIFE that one of my best friends is coming to Málaga!!!!!!!!  Seriously the Lord is so good.  What a tender mercy for me, and i´m so excited.  Ha, it has helped me a lot because now i´m trying even harder to be even better, because she comes in five months and will be in the field in six, that gives me time so if it´s the Lord´s will i could potentially train her!  Not saying that i think i will, but i want to be prepared if the Lord would let me!  So great.  Hahaha.

And I also got 2 packages from home, thank you mom!!!  Full of delicious american food and yeah that has been the best!

I love this gospel and i love you all, thank you for your continued support!

Love, Hermana Miller

Oh my goodness this last week was the best week of my life!!! I seriously am in love with my life here.  I have hard moments, but every day i go to bed thinking ¨today was the best day of my life!¨ Really though.  I love it.

This week I learned so much!  I am more dependent upon the Lord here than i ever have been in my life...and i have never felt stronger! Literally, my heart is turned to him constantly in prayer.  Ha, when I wake up in the morning I say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to help me, because literally I´m thinking, ´´I don´t even know if i can wake up, let alone go outside and jog!¨ But I pray, and Heavenly Father literally helps push me along the streets of Almería at 7am. I seriously feel His love strengthen my steps.  Especially when we´re speed walking to our next appointment, and our legs are burning and we´re forever away from our destination, I just pray that Heavenly Father will help me, try my best to lengthen my stride just a little bit more than i think i can at the time, and wow...I have seen God work wonders in my life every single day. 

This week was super fun!  Last P-day Hermana Crockett and I went with Elders Sharp, Church, and Vosters to a pueblo called Roquettas and went to the mall there.  Oh man, the Elders in our district are hilarious!  Seriously we had such a great time.  And Hermana Crockett is amazing!  Seriously she is so patient with me.  She also has taught me so much about following the Spirit! She is so in tune and is constantly listening for the Spirit, and following it.  One night it was super close to our curfew, and we wanted to knock just a few more doors.  So we went up to this building and the door was already unlocked, I was so excited about that that i just waltzed right on in and went straight to go up to the elevator.  Then as we went to push the elevator button Hermana Crockett said, ´´I don´t have a good feeling about this building, let´s go.´´ And it completely caught me off guard! I hadn´t felt anything bad about it, and that kind of worried me.  Later she told me that the prompting to leave the building came to her three times, so on the third time she knew she had to listen.  I realized that i need to always be seeking counsel from the Spirit and always follow the promptings, or even just good thoughts I recieve.  I want so badly to be receptive to the Spirit.  I know I´m worthy and with practice, I will get better at it.  I am so grateful to have a companion that´s so in tune.  I don´t know what could´ve happened in that building, and i´ll probably never know, but I do know the Lord is watching out for us constantly and is guiding out steps!

Also this week we went to that lady´s house that i talked about last week, the one where we knocked, she let us in and then we saw members of our ward.  Yeah, so we went back, without an appointment and they were all there again!  It was so funny, we walked into the family room and Good Luck, Charlie was on! Hahaha, so of course i freaked out, and then me and the eight year old daughter talked about disney channel shows we love, and my 24-year-old companion just laughed at me and it was awesome! Hahaha, the shows here are called like, Buena Suerte, Charlie and Austin y Ally...haha i mean i guess i am in Spain but I still found it funny.  And it reminded me of my baby sister so i loved that!

I also learned another lesson that meant a lot to me.  Thanks to a letter from one of my super good friends, Elder Woodfield, I learned so much more about one of my favorite scriptures! It´s Ether 12:27. I have always loved it, but i realized this last week so much more about it.  It is the scripture mastery that talks about weak things being made strong in the Lord.  We were on a bus, and i suddenly gasped because I finally realized that my weakness don´t necessarily need to go away for me to be made strong from them!  Okay, I don´t mean i just want to full on embrace my weaknesses, obviously i still want to strive to overcome them with the Lord´s help.  But what I realized, thank you Elder Woodfield, is that our weaknesses make us realize we are not perfect.  Time is constantly a struggle for me, and I´m constantly asking Heavenly Father for forgiveness because I´m not perfect with managing it.  But that is the beauty of it! Although i´m still trying to be better, and trying to learn how to better manage my time and the Lord´s time, everytime i mess up I turn to the Lord in prayer, awknowledge my weakness, and ask for forgiveness and help.  And everytime i do well with time, my heart turns to Him in gratitude, because I truly know that it is through Him that i´m learning to become better!  So although i still struggle and am weak, i am strong because my heart is constantly turned to Him in prayer!  What a beautiful thing.  I love this gospel, and my Heavenly Father with all my heart. 

I am so happy here, happier than i´ve ever been!  I love my ward, I love these people, I love these missionaries, i love my companion, and I love my Savior and His atonement-- I just am in love with missionary work!  And i still wanna work so much harder and do so much better with many many things, but poco a poco....esta bien. :)

Thank you for all your prayers and support! 

Love, Hermana Miller

AHHH. So much has happened this week it´s crazy! I don´t do well at writing in my journal so I hope I can remember some of it (I need to get better at journal writing!).  Oh man, so first off this last week for p-day we went to the mall and shopping and it was a blast!  They have fantastic stores here...anyway. Also I need to mention that once a week, every Wednesday we teach an English Class!  It is the best thing ever!  We teach the more advanced people, so they know english fairly well.  Also most of them aren´t members of the church, so it gives us a great opportunity to talk about the gospel and show videos of church humanitarian projects and share scriptures, and all in the language i know! Ha, i joked that it´s the one hour in the week where i feel completely comfortable and know what´s going on. It´s great!    Also we got to go out to a pueblo called Aguadulce, we have to take a 30 minute bus ride to get there and ah- it is breathtakingly gorgeous! It is right by the ocean (well i´m always right by the ocean, but in Aguadulce the whole place just feels more beachy/touristy) and wow...it´s just amazing.  As we were walking through the streets and up little hills and looking over the ocean searching for some people on an old ward list we had one of those ´´We´re in Spain preaching the Restored gospel and assisting in the work of SALVATION´´ moments.  We´re so blessed in every sense.  Also we got a few new investigators- one experience was absolutely hilarious! I hope i can convey the feelings of awkwardness and hilariousness over email. Probably not.  Ha, but i´ll try.  So this last friday night ALL of our citas (appointments with people) fell through and so did all of our back ups.  So we had goals to meet and we just went to a building in our area and started knocking doors...well we got denied a lot and it was funny to hear people´s excuses as to why they couldn´t talk to us now or later..like old old ladies telling us they´re taking care of their sick mothers and i was just like, Is your mom even alive still?! But haha, anyway we knocked on this one door, and i had knocked and the door was more hollow than i thought so the knock was unintentionally loud and rude.  But a lady answered and Hermana Crockett gave the door approach saying we are missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a message for her about Jesus Christ.  Well she said come in- MILAGRO! Ha, so we were kinda surprised and happy and as we walk in I saw one of the little girls from our primary and she jumps up to hug me, i was so confused! Then we saw her mom...then her dad. Haha we had knocked the door of the mother of someone in our ward! I dont know why but it was just hilarious!  And she´s actually not a member!!! So we taught her and their family and set up another cita and yeah, it was awesome!

The members here are so amazing and feed us so well and often!  It is a blast going to their houses and eating their amazing food and attempting to understand what they´re saying and trying to respond to the questions they ask me!  Their gospel insights are awesome, and i learn so much from them.  And i´ve really only had one sketchy experience with food...and it wasn´t even that bad i just didnt really know what i was eating! Which is fine i guess..i need to get out of my comfort zone.  I even found myself loving their bacon (which i usually dont like) because i actually recognized what i was eating! Haha..and my ¨no soda¨ streak got broken a couple weeks ago.  Almost went four years. But it´s worth it and i´ve only had to drink it 5 times, most of the time they have water also! 

Oh and for the last month I have been sleeping without a pillow.  People in the CCM told me it´s better for your back, so that night i ditched the pillow and haven´t gone back since...but someone should google that since i can´t and tell me if it´s true that it´s better for you. Hahah.

Okay so hard experience this last week.  It´s been a way weird week actually.  So many odd things happened.  We got a call from an unknown number of someone saying they wanted to be baptized, so of course i was a little skeptical and wondered if maybe it was anothere missionary in our district, but then i thought ´´Hermana Miller don´t be immature, this is missionary work, no missionary is gonna call during prime proselyting time and go on with some story about wanting to be baptized and give us fake info...´´ so yeah he mentioned that he had met our district leader before, so we called him and told him to go look for this address and he went and looked for an hour and a half, and found nothing. So then later our zone leaders called and long story short iit was them! They didn´t mean for it to go so far as to waste peoples proselyting time...but it did and it was a weird experience.  Next weird one, a missionary in my district went home.  We just got a call one day and his companion told us he was back in the U.S.  Then another companionship in our district had a baptism the next day and avoiding all the crazy crazy details it got cancelled and i´m not sure if or when the baptism will happen.  I felt and kind of still feel a pain about that that is up there with some of the hardest times of my llife.  I can´t even describe it,  i felt like i got hit by a truck.  Oh man, i just desire so badly for this young man to have all the blessings Heavenly Father has for him...Agency is such a hard thing, it is so sacred but it´s difficult because whether or not we choose to accept and live by the gospel principles, these principles apply to us, and to everyone else in the world. I can´t even imagine how desperately our Father in Heaven wants us to choose the right and return to live with Him.  The best part, the greatest thing about this gospel is that hope is never lost!  We are never too far away, and can always turn back to our Father in Heaven, no matter where we´re at in our lives and choices.  His arms are always extended towards us, and He is always right there beside us.  We just need to turn ourselves to Him, by doing small things to show Him we want Him in our lives, like simply praying or opening up the scriptures.  Last night as i was thinking about this young man and was kind of sad about it, i just said a little prayer in my heart, and asked Heavenly Father to help me feel better.  I sat up in bed and looked at my amazing blanket Hannah (one of my very best friends and the one updating this blog for me) me.  She wrote scriptures and inspriring quotes from prophets and other awesome people on it, i read over some but still felt empty.  Then my eyes went to one that talked about the Saviors love and healing touch (i can´t remember it exactly but i´ll write it on here next week) and my heart just filled with love and gratitude and knowledge that the Savior loves me, and all of us.  It just showed me that we only need to take a few simple steps, saying a small prayer in our hearts, and the Savior is right there, always willing to comfort us. 

I am grateful for this gospel, and for my Saviors love for me, the people of Spain, and all of us.

Love, Hermana Miller
