Hello from the East Coast! September 28, 2009

It was great hearing from all of you again!
Remi, That is amazing that you are such a good swimmer now. You'll be more experienced than me when I finish my mission because I won't have set foot in a pool for two years. :) You'll have to teach me how to swim! I hope you get feeling better soon!
Reece, Sounds like you had an awesome time at BOTH homecomings and I'm glad to hear that you have made new friends. Will you send me pictures of you at your homecoming? I'd love to see how that went for you. You mentioned Makenda won homecoming for Redwood? I thought she went to Golden West? Either way that's pretty cool. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers, it means a lot to me, bro. :)
Dad, Eddie and Kathy are progressing well and I have really seen a change in their lives which makes me very happy for them. I will tell everyone about them in a minute. I will definitely do my best to be the zone leader Heavenly Father would have me be. Good luck installing pet doors. Will Truman or Roxy be able to fit through the new doors? :)
Mom, Sounds like the house is really coming along! Congratulations are deserved to all of you! I'm going to write Grandpa a letter today and keep him in my prayers. Please let Sister H. know I said thanks for the letter. :)
Well, my week went really well! I enjoyed Eddie's and Kathy's baptismal service a lot! I will send you pictures asap. Kathy asked me to baptize her and Eddie asked Elder Palmer who came up for the baptism. We had an investigator there watching the service named Mike and afterward he said, "When can I do that?" That made us excited for him and we recently set a baptismal date with him for October. Brother B. confirmed the Eddie and Kathy in sacrament meeting and Eddie picked me to give him the Aaronic Priesthood. He now has the authority to baptize his 4 year old son Eddie when he turns 8!
Our zone is doing well and we had 6 confirmations in September. We plan on more in October. Right now we have 7 dates set with many more to follow. I am excited for this week and the opportunities for sharing the gospel that lie ahead. I appreciate your prayers (and the package :) and I will keep you in mine, too. Stay strong and always remember that you are my favorite family ever!
Love,
Elder Miller
