Christmas 2011 Email


Hi family, Merry Christmas! 

They let us email our families on Christmas because we can't call home.  I hope you've all had an amazing Christmas. We had Elder Bednar come and visit us and speak to us. It was an amazing talk about the characteristics of Christ.  Also he talked about having a testimony and what being fully converted means. Is was sweet!  He said having a testimony is knowing that there is a God, that it's knowing that only through Christ we can be perfected.  But conversion is following those truths we have a testimony of and consistently striving to live those truths we know.  

The mtc has been great this week it's been a little harder because it's Christmas time but there's no other place I'd rather be.  Thank you so much for all your gifts.  I got way too many from you all.  Thank you so much.  I loved the packages and letters.  It's been an amazing day to read all of them.  But how was every one's Christmas back at home?  Hopefully pretty good. 

Sorry the computer is freezing up on me every five or six words so I don't know how long I'll be typing before I get angry and just stop, so if it's super short I'm sorry.  

My one wish for this Christmas season is that we look at the attributes of Christ and specific occasions where he shows them and then we'll look for ways to apply them to our lives.  It's such a blessing to be so close to the spirit all the time. I'm not sure if I've told you this but I am now in a tri companionship.  Still with Elder Burnham, but also with Elder Adams (who's companion went home). Well I'm gonna go now but I love you and I'm so grateful to be able to serve a mission.  I love you all and will look forward to hearing from you all soon.  After I write everyone back ;)

love,
Elder Miller

P.S. mom and dad have you got my letter that had the memory card in it yet?
