Words of Advice from Jason Miller

Before Jason headed home after helping to give you a blessing, he offered up some advice. Advice I thought was important enough that I wanted to be sure to include it here for you to reflect on and be able to look back on. 

"The first part was my experience. I found out very quickly that missionaries aren't perfect. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't try to be. I had some very good examples of that and I had some very good poor examples of that. Be that example. You won't be perfect, other missionaries aren't going to be perfect but you should try to be. Second part is that it is okay to have a little fun and go do things that are fun. Let your personality be there. If you're uptight all the time then that's who you are and that is great, but that is not you so be fun, be inviting, and be yourself. Have fun with this. It's a great and exciting time and people will get out of it what they put in. Have fun with it. Have fun with the serious times, have fun with the spiritual times, have fun with the fun times and just go out there and be you. We are so excited for you"

How lucky are we to have such amazing friends, who really  have become family, in our lives to support and love and cheer you on. I pray you will remember Jason's advice of fun. I love you so much.

Mom's Talk: Sunday, July 10, 2022

Good morning Brothers and Sisters. I am excited to be here with you this morning. Not because I up here speaking but because we are here to listen to Kaitlyn report on her mission which means she is actually home! Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

Week 1 Email: I have a new Mom

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
