Hello family, How's things going this week? Hopefully everything is going good for all of you. That's crazy that Halloween is coming up. Our little branch out here is doing an activity and hopefully it'll be pretty good and we can get our investigators there. So this week we've been working pretty hard, We rode bikes a lot because they cut us in miles and the people that we set baptismal dates with live twenty miles away so that's a forty mile round trip which doesn't work out so nicely for us when we're running low on miles. But for my birthday anything would be nice, maybe a little money so that me and my comp can go eat somewhere... and also iId like my blue quad sent out to me. I've been really digging deep and writing a lot of notes in the little Books of Mormon but I'd also like to do the same with the other books of scripture and at the same time keep mine nice and clean. Also one of my goals now in life is to learn Hebrew or Greek so I can read the Bible in it's originality. Sounds like everything is going good at home- anything fun coming up? On preparation day we don't really do anything anymore.   President Bernhisel won't let us go fishing which is a bummer and I'm in Clinton North Carolina- there is nothing to sight see unless you wanna go see the hog houses and I've already seen and smelled my fair share of those. Our baptismal dates are still coming along- they're progressing slower than we would like them too but hopefully here soon everything will work out good. That's pretty awesome that Tat is going to serve a mission. You'll have to tell her hi for me next time you see her and also tell me where she goes. I'll send you some pictures here soon. I haven't taken many pictures here yet. iIm not exactly sure why it just seems like I never bring my camera when I should. Sorry mom. But I'm feeling pretty good. Still tired and we're out of money so I can't buy any of my diet coke... darn. But this week I've been reading the New Testament a lot which has been amazing. The Old Testament is great as well but I got bored when iIread it at times- I was kinda relieved to have finished it... but the New Testament and the Book of Mormon are the bomb. I love them. I still love the Book of Mormon more because it seems like people don't misinterpret it wrong as often. But I have no doubt that it's the word of God and that we can grow closer to the Lord by living everything we read in them and follow the teachings in them. I love you all and hope everything is going good for you. Love, Elder Miller
