Week 24

Hey everyone!  I wanted to start out by giving my older sister Emilee a shout out. Happy Birthday!!!  Love you Em!! Hope you have a good birthday week.   Hahaha!   This week was very similar to my last one...it involved being inside all day, lots of scripture study and reading, trying to call some of our investigators and set up phone lessons, and lots of cooking! If you know me, you know that the key to my heart is food, especially good food. So this Quarantine has forced us to get creative and has taught me how to cook some good meals. We have had a lot of fun making some good food and is one of the things we all look forward to in our day. I want to say something to all my buddies that have been sent home from their missions and are quarantined and are waiting to be reassigned. I love you all. You all have been such good influences on me growing up and have played a huge role in my life, and are a huge reason I chose to serve a mission.  You ar...

Week 23: 30 Day Quarantine

Hey everyone! Not much happened this week. Elder Ipsen and I were both sick the whole week and have been stuck inside all week. We found out that Kansas City is issuing a 30 day quarantine so that is going to be the worst. I really hope it gets figured out soon! I was reading about Alma and the sons of Mosiah this week and what great missionaries they were and how they had great faith even in times of trouble. I know that when we turn to God and pray in faith we are able to be instruments in his hands and we can see miracles.  莫長老 Elder Miller

Week 22: Covid-19

This week has been good! Craziness with all the things that are happening with the corona virus. We have still been able to do missionary work, our mission President has just told us we have to be very careful. My Companion Elder Ipsen has been sick this week. Elder Rich, one of the other missionaries in this ward has been sick as well. So Elder Jarvis and I have gone on lots of exchanges this week and taught a lot of lessons together. It was a lot of fun. Transfers are this week and I am staying in Kansas City for another transfer with Elder Ipsen! I am excited it is going to be a good transfer. Hope everyone has a good week! Elder Miller

Week 21

This week was a good one. Saw some pretty cool miracles this week! First off, Elder Ipsen and I were on a team up with our ward mission leader and we knocked on a door to what we thought was going to be a less active member. It wasn't, it was a 16 year old kid named Jayon. He told us he was super interested in learning more about Christ and our message. He came and played basketball with us and asked if he could come to church with us it was awesome! Another amazing miracle happened. We were going to try and visit one of our investigators at their apartment but their complex is always locked so we usually just get lucky and walked in with someone else. So we got there and it was unlocked surprisingly. Then we went and knocked on their door and there was no answer. We were kind of bummed out. Then we started walking out and another door that is always locked was unlocked. Right then I turned to Elder Ipsen and said "There has been way to many miracles for us to be here for...

Week 20: Dance Party

Week 20: Dance Party -  March 02, 2020 Hey everyone! This week was a good one.  It started off last Monday we had a lesson with some people we have been teaching and  have become friends with. They told us that we have been teaching them too much about our church and they wanted to teach us about their "urban church" so they started playing their gospel music and we all started singing along. Then we all made a dance circle and started dancing together it was so funny and so much fun! Tuesday we got a call that there was a man in our stake who was at St. Lukes hospital who just had a liver transplant and had asked for a blessing. The man was not in our ward. The other Elders in the stake who were in his ward were going to give him a blessing, but were unable to because of car miles. So me and Elder Ipsen had the privilege. It was a really tender experience. This man was the worlds biggest Chiefs fan and we told him that we were from ...
