I will start off by anwsering some questions. Yes, there are
5 Elders in my district that will be going with me to Porto Alegre this coming
Tuesday. Yes, we are flying out of Sao Paulo airport early in the morning. I will try to send some photos through email
to you once im in the field, as of right now I have not taken that many because
we arent really allowed to because we dont want to look like a bunch of
tourists. But I have taken some with some friends of mine and some Elders from
my district.
This past week was very eye opening. We went and
proselyted near the MTC for a few hours. It was difficult at first
because we were all a little timid about talking with people, especially since
our Portuguese is still very much in the works. Our companionship ended up
handing out 4 books of mormon. I found myself stumbling all over my words with
the people so I think it is a miracle that we handed out that many books. I
realized I have a long way to go before I can be the missionary I want to be,
but I'm willing to put in whatever work is necessary. Elder Russell had a cool
experience talking with a guy that was very knowledgeable about Christ's
ministry. At first he didnt accept the book we gave him but after talking with
him for awhile he seemed interested, we think that maybe he was a church member
or something haha. Our next time proselyting is on Monday and we will go into
the center of Sao Paulo. I think this will be better because everyone around
the MTC has like 3 BOM's already.
Thank you for all the letters you have been sending me. My
whole district is really jealous because the quantity of letters I have been
recieving. I got 2 more letters from Dad and 1 from Jessie. Also, I got a bunch
from the Lofstrands. I wrote letters to them and Jessie, so be on the look out
in a couple weeks. I will try and write letters to Mom and Dad when I'm in the
field.
Love Elder Miller
P.S. I dont know exactly when I will be able to email again.
It might be on my first P-Day in the field
