Writing an email gets progressively harder each week but I've made it this far… he's a few highlights from the week.


  • Said bye to some mission friends at the airport who completed their missions (Sebakile, Whitworth, Opheikens, and Wheeler)

  • Had many great lessons with Sticks and Kefilwe during the week

  • Gibb took some little kids bike to our car and fixed it for them

  • Had a dinner appointment at the EQP's home with the ZL's and sisters. It's one of the very few houses I've seen that has a PS5 in it.

  • Transfer calls/ transfers were this week, Elder Gibb and I will both be staying. I only have 1 transfer left after this one!

  • I found Mopane worms so I could cook them for my flat

  • Asi, Leavitt, and Mosweswe came over so we lined the living room with mattresses and had a wrestling tournament, it was crazy

  • We were in a trio with Mosweswe from friday-sunday while he waited for his greenie to come in. It was a lot of fun to teach with him since it's been over a year.

  • Had a zone service project picking up trash in a village that was very far away

  • Had stake conference which was pretty good. President and Sister Walker gave their final talks in front of the stake (they go home in 4 weeks!). And we even sang In the choir

  • Had a great lesson with sister Shado (Thato) and her family, I'm excited for her baptism and ultimately theirs too.

  • I made chapati and Mosweswe made a bomb beef stew that made me sleep like a baby.

  • For pday we played bball and volleyball which was a lot of fun. We're trying to make pday sports comeback and it's working slowly but surely. We miss the good ol’ days.

  • Ended the Pday by going with the ZL’s and the Peolwane elders to our recent converts home to celebrate his 12th birthday with him! It was a lot of fun, I love celebrating days with people here.


Peace  

Elder Miller

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. 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...

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...
