Beso a Papí, Pica a los Niños

April 17
Well this week has been fantastic. My comp and I have seen a load of miracles and it has been great. I just realized that I forgot my camera and therefore cannot send pictures but I have them to send for the next week. Fear not.

Elder Sanchéz is a great person. He is just so nice and friendly to everyone and we have been able to see a lot of miracles in this week. We were able to see the baptism of one of the elders in the zone and it was really sweet because his son is on a mission and he wanted to get baptized as a surprise for his son. 

Also yesterday we were teaching about Easter and the Resurrection and we asked this for year old girl who Jesus was. Her answer "Jesucristo es un conejo" or in English, "Jesus is a bunny"  

We almost died of how cute it was.

Hmmmm. What else. That is about all. Love you all.

ANGOL ZONE...Companionships for this cambio...the only all elder zone in the mission

 April 10
Well transfers came and guess what. I am leaving after six weeks. I totally did not expect it after being here six weeks but I am going to Angol in the ward of Alemania. So I guess you could say I am going to mother Germany. Also I am going to have my first peruvian companion. His name is Elder Sanchez. It is going to be really interesting because he is really short and really really tan. I am not tan and not short. We will be an interesting companionship.

Also this week I said goodbye to Elder Carroll because he went home. He was the elder I did my first intercambio with. So that was pretty sad. Also Elder Pace is pretty awesome so it will be sad saying goodbye to him. He is going to stay here in Curacautin.

I am really happy however because really soon we have a conference with President Nelson and we get to go and meet him in person. We have to travel to Concepcion so I get to go back there after so much time being away. 

Anyway love you all,

Elder Kelton Miller

(After all this time I still don´t know how to end this e

mails.)

A talk to remember

Well first of I really enjoyed general conference. It was great. We watched it in our church house but there wasn`t that many members who showed up. For the Priesthood session it was just my comp and I and we had a lot of fun. Also on Sunday it was really funny because between sessions the members got some tables together and ate lunch. Thats not really funny but the amusing part was that they all started drinking This drink called mate. It is like herbs that you put in a cup with a speciall straw and then you drink it with hot water.

So that is what the members did in between the two hours of general conference. It was great.

Also this week was really great because we GOT SHIRTS AS A ZONE! So that was great. My comp and I are modeling them in these pictures.

Also I want to challenge all of you to go and watch the new video from the church called Prince of Peace. It is fantastic.

Love,

Elder Miller

Conference with San Pedro, Lebu, and Coronel

 

Say it with me Malacahuello

Malacahuello is a small city in my sector and it is actually where my branch president lives. Cool experience of the week. My comp and I decided to go and see if we could find some people there to teach so we go and we start to look for a map first. We get off the bus by the library and ask them. they don`t have one but send us down the road and across the street to the ranger station they don`t have one. we go back to the library and go to the closest houses behind and shout "ALO." (It is how they knock on doors down here.) A women comes out. We say, (In Spanish) "Hi we are missionaries and we share about Jesus

and his restored gospel. Have you ever met missionaries before?" She replies "My son is a missionary." Startled because we are kind of in the middle of nowhere we reply "Of our church?" "Yep"

So that was cool. We are actually going to go teach her this week though.

But wait there is more. 

Remember we were looking for a map. So after eating lunch with the branch president we walk to where the bus takes us back and see a tourist station. Although we are not tourist we enter and ask for a map. They had one. Also the guy who gave us the map was really interested to hear more about the missionaries and what we do.

However things are going really great here in Curacautin. It is still in the part of the year where it doesn't rain as much.

Love you all,

Kelton Miller

 

 

Keeping up the Pace.

This week was really cool and spiritual. Also really challenging. So first a spiritual experience or two.

So we had asked the branch president for referrals and less actives that we could visit. He told us about a less active who he had met once but didn`t know really well. He gave us a phone number and basically said go for it because they live in a really rural part. We gave the number a call and after talking to the fellow he seemed more than happy to invite us to his house. We then talked to the branch president again so that he could give us a ride in his car and we went. The brother was really excited to see us and actually said that it was the first time that a branch leader and the missionaries had taken time to go to his house. He expressed a lot of gratitude and shared with us his story. It was a long story. Then we left. But we all felt better for having visited the family and it was good.

This week we also got a call about a member who moved for Concepcion to our area. This member is really sick and asked for a blessing and for the sacrament. On Sunday we went with a brother from the branch and gave her a blessing and you could tell the peace that the house received after we had given her the blessing and the sacrament. Also we were really impressed by the faith of the sister because after we talked to her we realized that she had been a member for less than a year but that she valued the things she learned so much that she wanted to keep in contact with the church.

Those were two cool experiences this week. 

Sorry I never have pictures the computers here in the new city aren`t really adequate

to send them.

Love you all,

Elder Miller

Did I that it was beautiful? Did I that it was beautiful?

Well here I am in Curacautin. The weather has been rather odd. It is either raining and really cold or really sunny and hot. It is rather bothering because I never know how to dress. The branch here is really cool though. There are about 30 members or so and they are all really nice. The branch president has a lot of fuego (fire) and it is great. My companion and I get along super well. I don`t think i have had comp study this fun in the mission because we just get caught up with what we are doing. He really likes to learn and he is really humble so that is fantastic.

I had a cool experience this week. We were waiting for a bus and where we were there was two different buses that pass by. One bus just passed by the main road and the other has a route inside a small community and then goes to where we were going. We were waiting and the bus that goes through the community comes and we didn´t get on because it comes back out so we could still catch it before it left. However there was a guy who motioned for us to get on but we had to cross a kind of busy street so we didn`t at that time. We wait and get on the bus when it comes out again and I sit down kind of close to the guy that told us to get on the bus. He ends up talking to us for the whole bus ride and was really interested in going to the English

classes that we have. So that was a cool.

Love you all,

Elder Miller

Curacautin

So first thing. I am pretty sure it is still technically supposed to be summer here in Chile. However this last week I have been really cold. Like really cold. However its okay because today is sunny.

Howerver I am in Curacautin. It is a small town however bigger than Vilcún. Also it is really cool here because we are really close to a lot of different volcanoes. Also Elder Clark is here in the branch, however in a different city so i don´t really see them that much.

Also my companion is really cool as well. He is from Kaysville and went to Davis High. His name is Elder Pace. We just have a blast here. It is really fun working with him. He just barely got out of his training and he is really fun. 

Well lots of love.

Elder Miller
