Hi everyone, how's everything going? Hopefully good. 

This week has been pretty awesome. This Sunday I was made Zone Leader and also on Tuesday Elder Nelson of the 12 came and spoke to us. It was a pretty awesome talk.
 I got to greet the new missionaries twice now but this week I won't be able to. But that's ok it's better that I study anyways. That and I need to give the new missionaries in my zone a tour later on that night so it doesn't really matter. I did get all of the twelve packages and I also got the package that had all the addresses in it but I never found a tape? Maybe you could send me a new one because I don't know where it is. 

That's awesome about Brittani and Sean being able to close on their house. It's always nice to hear about the little ones. It's sad that Lizzie is sick and that Mara and Logan are struggling a little bit with all the moving too. That's also way sweet to hear about Kadan. He's a funny kid. I need to write him sometime soon. When did Brooke and Zac buy a new couch? That's exciting,and so is the fact that Melissa has almost got the nursery done. Tell Brandon to send me picks of the fish he is catching.  I'm having a few withdrawals from not being about to go fishin. It's all good though in two years I'll be able to.

How are you and dad feeling? Any better? Hopefully he can get at least most of the shed too so that he can clean out the garage.

I got my travel plans this week. I leave at 7:30 from Salt Lake and fly through Detroit. I'm going to try and give you a call in the morning before I fly out because I only have and hour layover in Detroit. I think I still got enough money to travel. I haven't spent any of what you gave me.

Is there any chance that you could send me my black sweater that has the red and white on the front? And maybe my sweater vest as well that'll go well under my suit? And also a bottle of sparkling cider? Me and my district are definitely going to have some fun before we leave. Everything here is going well. It's still super busy but it's definitely worth it. If you have anything you need to ask me through out the week please dear elder me that'll make it alot easy to get back to you before next Friday. I'll write you a letter home some time this week probably sending you a copy of the congratulations letter I got for being a Zone Leader so if you dear elder me before then I'll be able to reply fast. Tell everyone thanks for their support and tell them sorry it's taking me forever to write them back. I have no free time at night anymore because I have stuff I've gotta do at night so I'm sorry. I'm hoping to be able to send them all a letter before I leave here. I'm just super super busy. But I do love being out here, it's so amazing.

Me and my district had an experience yesterday where we got to teach each other and me and Elder Vincent taught Elder Vincents companion Elder Robinson. As me and Elder Vincent talked we both felt the spirit telling us what to do and what to ask. By the end when me and Elder Vincent bore testimony, there wasn't a person in our class that wasn't crying and honestly I've never felt the spirit that strong. Elder Robinson didn't know what to do. He was crying hard and he gave us both a hug and then collapsed. The spirit was so thick in the room you honestly could barely walk in it. It just go to show that this church is true. I know that our Father in Heaven loves us and want's us to be happy and I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. the more I learn about him, the more I can't even doubt that he Atoned for all of my sins. I love this work. It's true because I feel the support of the Lord everyday I'm in here.

I love all of you and can't wait to hear from you all sometime soon hopefully.
 love Elder Miller.
