Wow! That is the only words I have to describe this feeling. Many of you reading this probably know what I am talking about. I have tears in my eyes as I write this.  Since I have been horrible at writing lately, here is a little update on what has been happening. I am back in Kansas City! I’m in the same ward that I started my mission! It was the perfect ending to my mission. I have been training a new missionary named Elder Whittaker.  He is from AF so close to home, and he has been amazing! It has been cool to get back to the basics of missionary work and it has made me reflect over the course of my mission. He is going to do amazing things on his mission greater than anything I did, he has been great! I have been doing a lot of pondering recently on my whole mission.  Many people have been asking me what I’ve learned the most. Which is an unfair question because of how many things I have learned on my mission, but maybe I will share a few of them. 1. We get to choose ...

Hey everyone hopefully you all are doing good! I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th and Happy Birthday to my Sis Lucy. Everything has been going good! We just had zone conferences this last week they all went good! It's always good to be with the missionaries! I got a new companion, his name is Elder McCann. He's from Orem so we are neighbors he plays tennis he's a stud. Plus he's got a pretty cool relative. We have been having fun and having been going hard! We have been working with this girl named Karla. She is a member of the RLDS church which has been nice for teaching but hard because she has been getting some backlash. But she was supposed to get baptized this week. But she has been busy at an internship for the summer. We were needed to get some details figured out for the baptism and the only time she was going to be able to was at midnight one of the nights this week. So we got permission to talk with her at midnight. But she ended up not answering which was too ...

Sorry I have been the worst at writing these recently, but I need to to better so I thought I would send a little update. I am currently still in the Liberty YSA ward and I am loving it! We have the most amazing bishop ever and great members as well. I am still companions with Elder Wilstead and have been having lots of fun with him! A couple cool things that have happened recently: Coach Andy Reid spoke to our mission for the second time! It was amazing!  He is such a good man, and pretty funny! He talks about being great on and off the field and in everything we do. One thing he says that I love is "Fear nothing, attack everything" Another exciting thing has been that the covid restrictions are being lifted quite a bit. So we are able to go street contacting again! I was on a exchange this last week in KC and we were street contacting in the hood haha. It brought back some good memories to when I started my mission. Gunshots and crazy people everywhere. This week Elder Giff...

This last week was a crazy one!! First off we had a cool miracle with the Ritchel family. The mother of Wendy Ritchel passed away last week so Elder Cruz and I thought we would take them some flowers and some cookies. So we took some over to their house and when we handed the flowers to Wendy she started to cry. Apparently purple was her mother's favorite color and we happened to buy purple flowers.  She then said that they would be at church on Sunday and that would be open to meeting with us whenever. So that was awesome! Next, I found out I am going back to the Liberty YSA. I am going to be with Elder Wilstead. I am so excited he's a stud! It was sad to leave the little branch of Atchison. I met a lot of great people there, but I am really excited to be back in Liberty. 莫長老 Elder Miller

Hey everyone! The last couple weeks have been going good. We have been doing tons of Facebook work and doing some service. We have been working with this part member family. They have been so awesome, and the whole branch is helping out too. We are hoping we will be able to have them baptized soon. We also were able to play some pros basketball with some college kids this week, which was a tender mercy from the Lord to me. We also had a baptism this week! Our guy Brother Hutcherson! We have been teaching him for a while now. He used to be a member about 20ish years ago, but he left the church. Then he moved to Atchison and reached out to us and we started teaching him a little. We were able to baptize him, and it was such a cool experience to see him want to come back. He's a great guy! We also were able to do a virtual tour of the Sacred Grove. It was such a cool experience! I have been studying a lot about the restoration and Joseph Smith so that made it extra special. When they ...

  Hey everyone! Sorry I'm getting so bad at sending these. I am still out here in Atchison.  The last 2 weeks have been so cold. The typical days have been about anywhere between 5 degrees and -6. But the "Feels like" is usually about -18 to about -25 degrees, so cold! Our power went for a little bit one of the days and our apartment got pretty chilly haha. We have been reaching out to a lot of people and been trying to teach them. We were teaching these two young lady's for a while and we invited both of them to be baptized, and they accepted. But now we are not so sure, they will accept baptism super easy but don't really want to come to church. Not sure how that works haha. We had the opportunity to hear from Brother Haws a guy back in Salt Lake. He is a good friend of President Ames, and he did a Devotional for our mission this last week. He gave an amazing devotional at BYU called "Wrestling with comparisons" It is so good, I would invite you all to...

Hey everyone, the last couple weeks have been pretty good out here in Kansas. We have been reaching out to a lot of students at the college here. Sending tons of videos of what we do as well as teaching videos.  President Ames received some revelation this last week and has set our mission baptismal goal for 600. We were all surprised because of how big that number is, but we are all really excited and are motivated to work hard to see some miracles. The highlight of the week: We are teaching this guy named Reese.  He goes to Benedictine which is a catholic school. We invited him to church and he said yes, as long as we come with him to Mass. So on Saturday Elder Cruz and I joined him at Mass. It was in a huge building with a ton of college kids and then it was us. It definitely was very different, and an experience I won't forget!  Luckily in return we got Reese and one of his roommates to join us at church the next day. I've been studying a lot about Joseph Smith lately...
