I Love Life 8/13/13

It has been another great week here at the MTC!!! I love truly love it here. I just feel so happy and filled with joy! 

The Provo Temple opened again this week and we were finally able to go!! WOW! I walked out of that place with such love for everybody and everything! It was the perfect confidence booster and reminder that everything in life is alright! I feel so blessed to be a missionary at this time and this place! I know that I can accomplish every thing I need to with the Lord's help. I know that the Savior love us each soooo much! We need to recognize that we can't get through life on our own. When we are truly humble and accept and recognize His help, we can get through any tribulation or task. I know that great things will come to pass as I continue to put my trust in His hands. 


The only downer about this week was our district has been super sick... Its no fun being sick, but we are surviving! :) 


I also now have a new "assignment!" My companions and I are the Sister Training Leaders for our Zone. Basically like zone leaders, but for girls! Which is going to be super awesome and fun because we ABSOLUTELY LOVE every single sister here! :) I'm super excited!!!


Last night we a super crazy awesome adventure!!! I was able to leave the MTC!!!!!!!!!! There is a real world out there!! With real people! And cars!!! My companion Sister Biorn was having some chest/breathing problems after playing volleyball last night. It was getting super bad and scary so we had the Elders in our district give her a blessing. She immediately felt lots of relief. She still had some problems, but definitely WAY less severe. There was no doctor because it was late at night, so they put us in a car and took us to the ER. [Which was FULLLLL of people!] We stayed there till about 11 pm, but by then she felt much better with no pain so we left because the line was so long! We don't know why she had those pains, but we do know that everything happens for a reason. And we know that the Priesthood holders who gave her a blessing truly had the power of God with them. I am so grateful that we can live in a world with this wonderful power on Earth. And I am so grateful for my brothers and my dad who honorably hold this power.


On Sunday, Sister Rosemary Wixom taught Relief Society! OH MAN! This women is soooo amazing and happy and inspiring! She was absolutely glowing! I want to be like her when I grow up! She told us three steps we can take to put our confidence in the Lord.

  1.  KNOW Jesus Christ.  - How well do we actually KNOW Him? Do we show our understanding of our knowledge through our actions and countenance? So my question for everybody who is reading this email is: How have you come to know Jesus Christ personally? Please share with me!
  2. LOVE OTHERS (Even while I'm wearing a dress and it is -100 degrees outside) - As we increase our love for those around us, our love for others will increase. If we are not feeling this love, we can pray for it. Charity is the pure love of Christ. Moroni 7:48.  Love in the same way that our Savior loved others. 
  3. Follow the Savior's Example - This is so broad. The message I got out of this was the way that the Savior loved. He expressed His loves through His actions and didn't have to use His words every time. This is something I will strive to apply on my mission! I can heal the hearts of others by having the love of the Savior in my eyes. I don't NEED to use words. (This is super comforting...)
I know that as we strive to do these three things, our faith in the Savior will grow. I challenge everybody to read the Christlike attribute in Chapter 6 of Preach my Gospel! Pick one to focus on and incorporate it into your life more. This chapter has changed my life! How can you better know, love, and follow the Savior?
I LOVE being a missionary! Thank you for all of those who are supporting me! This opportunity to serve is such a wonderful blessing! 


His Humble Servant,
Сестар Миллэр


P.S. My District learns Chinese phrases when we get tired of Russian! I'm so proud of them! :)
