Day 335 - 11 months and Austin’s first week in Las Vegas!

Here is his letter from today:

Hey everyone!

My weekly emails are back again, this time from Vegas 😎

I'm writing this pretty late because I kinda forgot haha. Being here has been an interesting change! The mission life is very different in quarantine. 

We spend most of the day reading scriptures, talking with members and trying to find people that are interested in our message. It does get pretty monotonous and I've already struggled a bit haha. But the members here are great and super supportive, so I'm sure that I'll be in good hands :)

My comps name is Elder Wood! Hes awesome and from Alberta Canada :)

We are teaching a family; the Casolaris! The mother's name is Adrian and the two daughters Violet and Vanessa. They are the sweetest girls ever :) They have committed to be baptized! Once the quarantine is lifted, the girls will have their baptisms. They don't want to do it right now because Violet has some health complications.

I'm in a part of Vegas called Summerlin and it is SUPER NICE. I heard Floyd Mayweather lives here 👀

We play spikeball and basketball each day to keep ourselves sane. We get to see other missionaries at the church building too, so that's fun.

That's just an intro to the mission! There's more to talk about, but I'll have a lot of time this week to think about my email next week haha.

Also, I would invite you all to think of something that you are grateful for. A thing you're grateful for that maybe the quarantine has helped you realize. It is so important to see the blessings that we have in our lives, especially during this tough time.

Love you all!

Elder Miller
