Sep. 8th
Hey Family! Well It has been a good week the past 7 days, I have definately felt your prayers in the area in which i serve in. I heard about the boise state game from members in the ward, Boise state is going to go undefeated again probably right? I was shocked to hear that BYU beat oklahoma, like completely shocked, How did the media respond to that?
Missions change people into better versions of themselves. I testify that it is true, im so different now, but I am a better person because i have different desires and a different attitude about things. Moving on, that is good that Utah State is doing well. I went to the Astros game yesterday and it was the funnest thing ever! the Ballpark is huge!!!! They played the phillies and it was a great game, i saw so many all star baseball players. It was a great P-day, i had to pay for my ticket with my capital one card because my mission card didnt go through. But it was a great environment! Well I thought that the BYU game would the big shock of the week for me but hearing that you guys have moved makes me even more shocked! But mom and dad you guys made the correct decision, through the power of the holy ghost you will know the truth of all things and will know what is needed to happen. I am so proud to know you guys involved our heavenly father in your choices. The house looks like the house that fits you and fits our family. how big is it ? how many rooms? How old is it? But you are right about lexie, she doesnt need to change schools, she is doing so well! I am so happy for her! I miss her so much because I know that she is turning into a great girl and will do good things. I really dont mind where you guys live as long as you are there when i return. As long as our whole family is there it will be still considered home. I have prayed a lot lately in what things i could share with you guys and its something that my mission president asked me in my interview with him last week. he asked me, "how is your studies"? I told him great, i love the book of mormon and I have been growing so strong in knowledge. I testify mom and dad that if you read the book of mormon consistantly and make it a priority you will be blessed more beyond belief. I know that to be true because I have felt it. I have read the book of mormon from cover to cover twice so far, and i am not stopping. I am telling you this because I love you and I want you to know you can do it. put 20 minutes aside everyday for book of mormon study with a pen and paper, and right down thoughts and feelings, read the chapter heading, do whatever, but start with a prayer and read to come closer to God. My mission means the world to me, I am enjoying every minute of it. That is one of the most influential changes I have made since I have been out, scripture study. So the game was so fun yesterday I will send you some pictures over the email, its not a lot but my camera batteries went out! C will be baptized sept. 27, he has been prepared by the lord to recieve the great blessings of the gospel. That right there is pure faith. I am fine, my meds, my shoes, my clothes, and my bike are all good. . I love Houston, downtown is so cool! Well I love you guys more than anything, but I testify mom and dad the lord knows of each and everyone of us and he knows our needs and our desires. If we allow the holy ghost to enter into our lives, God will direct our way back to him. I testify that Jesus is the Christ and that we have the truth restored by a prophet called of god. Time is flying by and serving a mission is the best thing ever to happen to me. Thank you for raising me in the truth. Share the gospel with everyone and build your foundation on christ. I love you all so very much and hope that you are improving and progressing everyday. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen. with love always -Elder Loren Miller
