Week #99 So Many Blessings.

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 decent lessons. For learning English and being a greenie he did a really good job and I got to learn a few things from him. I also got to see Donald, a brother I found over a year ago in Mochudi. The missionaries kept teaching him and baptized him after I left, he then moved to Moleps.


We had more great lessons with people such as the Letsatsi's/ Elliotts, Kopano/ Judith, and Definite.


We finished off the week by getting 17 friends to church, finding 17 new people, and continuing to help our friends progress towards baptism. Please pray they all stay strong and nothing happens before their baptisms this Sunday!


Love y'all, see ya in a week or so!!

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

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.

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...
