Miller, Heath P

Well, it seems like I'm finally nearing the end. The next email I send out will be the day before I go home! I'm happy to say I've successfully written an email every week of my mission. Let's get into the week… We started out the week with a lot of very powerful lessons and meeting with some of our favorite people. We also got the opportunity to serve by helping one brother hand wash his clothes, Elder Searles first time doing that in Bots. Our allotment came in mid week so we did an emergency grocery run with the other Elders in our flat. We also got the opportunity to go teaching one evening with President Neuberger which was so fun! We both loved how extremely bold and straightforward he was, I think that's the best way. The only L was that he forgot the cookies that Sister Neuberger baked for us :( I went to Moleps and joined Elder Vandu-nem for exchanges while Mosoue went with Elder Searle to our area. We had a lot of fun, worked our hardest and had some decen...

Dear Christopher and Julie Miller, It brings us great joy to announce that Elder Miller is preparing to return home after completing an honorable mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Botswana Namibia Mission. During his time of service, Elder Miller has experienced remarkable spiritual growth. He has strengthened his relationship with Jesus Christ while sharing the restored gospel with countless individuals. Furthermore, he has witnessed the transformative impact the Doctrine of Christ has had on himself, as well as the friends he has taught. Elder Miller has embraced both the challenges and triumphs of missionary life with steadfast faith. Through fasting, prayer, and dedicated service, he has developed greater spiritual maturity and a deeper testimony of eternal truths. These experiences have shaped him into a dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ. We have come to love Elder Miller deeply. He has brought joy to everyone blessed to know him. Through his fait...

Our week began with zone conference, my last one! It was pretty good, a little different than how President Walker did it but mostly the same. The Neubergers are great, the mission is in good hands. They did however implement a new rule, no direct messaging anyone outside of your family. So I'll talk to a lot of you in 15 days We finally got a new SIM card by Wednesday (we lost the previous one along with Elder Searles phone last friday). We've continued to teach the big group of friends that have been doing BYU pathway with Brother Masutha. Kabo, Kabelo, Simba, Naomi, Kefilwe, and lastly Moemedi. Moemesi isn't available at the same time as all the others so we've been trying to meet with him separately to catch him up. We got to teach Owen a lot as well as Thato. They were both baptize...

We had quite a bit of success this week and many of our friends are continuing to progress toward their baptismal dates! We had some bike problems at the beginning of the week which delayed us a little bit but once the week got rolling we did well. We met with Dorothy/Definite lots and put Definite on date for the 27th of September. We also met with the Letsatsi/ Elliott families a few times and they're all on date for the 10th except for one who wants the 24th of August.  We've taught another sister a few times named Palesa. Well it turns out she's the cousin to Peaches, the one we baptized 2 Sundays ago! She told us she also wants to be baptized so we put her on date for the 10th.  Another sister we've been co-teaching with the Sisters, Precious, is also now on date for the 10th. We thought she'd be baptized in the other ward since she works as a house maid in that...

Hey y'all I'm tired and need extra rest this week so this email will be more of a highlight reel. Hopefully some crazy photos and videos on the google photos will make up for it.
