Dumela, it's good to be speaking with y'all again. Another week in the books, and it went fast as usual…


Tuesday:


The morning started with some leadership trainings over zoom which were all good. They invited us to reflect on how we looked up to our trainers when we were green and it was really cool to think back on those days.


We did our transfer and weekly planning and officially found out our area boundaries. We got some lunch at choppies (grocery store) and then headed out. The area has no teaching pool so we had a couple lessons and then we did a lot of door knocking.


Wednesday:


Elder Gibb woke up puking from whatever we ate yesterday so he wasn't fit to go out. I just called people and studied while he slept for almost the whole day.


Thursday:


Today was great, we taught 9 lessons, found a few new people, got to meet some really cool members as well, and even had some members join us for lessons!


My son is learning a lot as well, he's a beast


Friday:


We held District Council over WhatsApp since there were no available chapel keys. President and Sister Walker joined so that was really amazing and they shared some great insights. I gave a training and my son gave a really good talk.


We biked 11 kms out to the edge of our area to meet with a couple of recent converts and friends, so that was a good exercise. We use a really narrow 2 lane main road so it's kinda sketchy but also fun.


We did some finding with brother Masutha, an absolute beast, and found some really cool families.


Once we got home the 4 of us were sharing hilarious stories from back home, we lucked out in this flat.


Saturday:


We met a really cool recent convert boy named Abotle. We had a great lesson on the BOM and gave him a real one since he was using the BOM Stories. 


The office elders picked us up after that lesson so we could do some errands for Elder Gibbs visa stuff. We also got a bite to eat and some ice cream so it was nice. They drove us to our next lesson which was great and then we went back to the stake center for a stake devotional from Elder Godoy (South Africa Area President). It was all about the Atonement and Easter, Elder Matswagothata of the 70 (formerly brother Matswagothata from when I served in Broadhurst) was also there and gave a great talk. Elder Godoy called up my recent convert Boipelo, from Kanye, up to the pulpit and she shared an amazing testimony completely on the spot! It was great to see her and hear her testimony.


We taught a couple more lessons and then went home to study.


Sunday:


We had a great combined Easter Sunday sacrament meeting with a great talk from Junior Moremong (1st counselor in the bishopric). Mogoditshane branch and Peolwane branch were both there which gave us like 12 missionaries which was nuts.


We had a family come to church that we contacted on Saturday. It was a lot of drunk men that we just gave some pamphlets to but one of them actually showed up with his family! And he said he's going to come again next week!


We had some amazing lessons today, went finding with Masutha, and found 10 new people! Today was great!


Monday:


About 25 of us missionaries did a sunrise hike at kgale hill. We woke up around 3:45, started the hike around 4:30 and enjoyed the beautiful view and rising sun. 


We got some food after, groceries, came home and slept, and weekly planned. Today was a good pday!!


Conclusuon:


Have a great week everyone <3


Elder Miller


Beautiful sunrise hike.

Week #91 "And Even I, Myself, Have Laboured With Mine Own Hands That I Might Serve You..." Mosiah 2:14

photos and videos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ 7pfMaK2E4tXivPWY7 Welcome back to another email, hopefully there are some interesting parts this week! Tuesday: We began the day with weekly planning as we do every Tuesday, it's the worst part of the week. Afterwards we got lunch and hit the area. We had a lot of lessons today but the highlights were with Sticks and Kefilwe who we reviewed the baptismal interview with, they just need to get married. Then a yellow dot named Kago who I absolutely clapped with the Bible, with christlike love of course. Usually I try to avoid throwing bible verses back and forth since it typically leads to contention but every time he said something contrary to the true gospel of Jesus Christ I had to give him a few verses. Lastly, I'll highlight our lesson with Peaches, Habo, and Kealeboga who also always come to church. They're on date for baptism on the 22nd, they're a great family! Wednesday: Today was pretty mid, we met with a few recent ...

BOTSWANA NAMIBIA MISSION

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.

Photos and Videos from the week: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ aERwkQhvsQjmf7yj6 Yo. Tuesday: We had a handful of lessons today, as well as weekly planning, and then cleaning the stake center since they were hosting a conference of sorts there. The 2 highlights were the twins who came into the chapel and asked for a tour, and our lesson with Shado/ her family. While we cleaned the chapel 2 identical twin brothers walked in and asked for a tour so we obliged, and then connected them with the missionaries for their area.  Our lesson with Shado was about temples and it was great, we even put 2 of her daughters on date which was amazing. Wednesday: We did our grocery shopping today and Elder Gibb decided he only wanted to eat hotdogs for the week. So I didn't have to buy any meat because he said I can have what's already in the freezer from last week. We had a great lesson with Sticks, Kefilwe, and Rasta. We taught them the W.O.W and law of chastity and they were really receptive. We...
