Hey everyone, hopefully you all had a good week. We had a pretty decent week! Here's a little about it.


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 baptized on Sunday and I had the privilege of performing the ordinance. They are both so amazing! 


We’ve also been teaching a sister, Kopano, and her little sister, Judith, who've been coming to church every Sunday for the past 5 Sundays from very far! We taught Kopano the Word of Wisdom with a member after church. Kopano was surprised a little by it but decided to fully commit to living it, she's so elect. We even got to put her on date for Aug 10th.


We also moved Teenabow and Wandisa’s baptismal date to the 10th so that their whole family can be there for it.


We had an exchange on Saturday, Elder Hansen came with me to my area. We had a lot of fun and had a couple good lessons, a few lessons where the people weren't so serious, and attended a wedding for an hour. We also ended the exchange with McDonalds!!! It's been 2 years. The EQP (goat) brought some from Jo-Berg since they were on a temple trip.


For Pday we played Vball and Bball in the morning like usual,no locals this time unfortunately. We played a lot of snooker and got some food. 


The week was good, we saw some great success, now we'll just be working to help all our friends prepare for their baptismal date on the 10th of August.


Have a killer week everyone


Love Elder Miller

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.

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...

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...
