August 23,2016

Hey everyone! Hope everyone's enjoying the transition of summer to
getting back to school! Not much has happened this past week, Elder
Perri caught Bronchitis and so we had to let him rest a good amount
this week. Other than that, transfers were today and my new companion
is......ELDER MORLEY! Haha Elder Morley is from South Jordan and also
lived in Rancho Cucamonga for a summer selling Solar! He is newer in
the mission, but is a great Elder! Also I forgot to mention....he's 7
FEET TALL!!! Hahaha he literally towers over me, he's over a foot
taller than me! It's super crazy!!
So this week it's been a mix of running to visits that are already
set, running to the hospital so Elder Perri can get treated, running
home so he can rest and saying goodbye to everyone in the branch!
Elder Perri was super sad to leave but he's done a lot of great work
here and now he went to Vitoria, in Northern Spain.
Now I have Elder Morley! He's really great and I'm super excited to
work with him, it's going to be an amazing next couple transfers with
him!
Other than that, we saw a miracle this last week with Emilio. A week
or two ago I had a strong impression that we needed to go visit a less
active woman, we went and she wasn't there, but as we walked away from
the doorbell, a man called for us and started talking to us. Turns out
he was homeless and had Mormon friends in another city in Spain where
he lived. We then invited him to come to church but he didn't come
last week. But this week, guess who was waiting outside of the church
Sunday morning? HIM! Haha he showed up and he's super interested! His
name is Emilio and he's a really interesting man with a lot of
religious knowledge. We have our first visit with him tomorrow morning
so we'll see how things go!
God has blessed us so much here, I've really learned that we don't
receive blessings because God "owes" us but because he loves us and
WANTS to bless us! With the Lord everything is possible! I hope you
all have a great week! Love you,
-Elder Miller
