The Continuing Adventures of Hermana Miller!

June 4, 2013

Karli is doing well in Florida and enjoying her mission. She is serving in a area adjacent to Tampa- Brandon.  Each letter brings interesting stories and experiences to us.
 But most of all we can see tremendous spiritual
 growth in her as she is learning fundamental gospel truths
 and overcoming adversity and disappointment.
 Her testimony is growing and strong.
Here are some photos of her during the third month of her mission-
 her second month in the mission field.


The lush, green, and HUMID Tampa .  She was so excited to take a picture by HER road!

Some of the scenery and wildlife she has encountered!
Water is a common sight.  Here's a brief peek at the ocean and
then of course, the ever constant flooded streets she gets to ride her bike through! 
 Can you see the peacock on the roof- how strange is that?
Still no "gators" seen-I guess I have to remember
 she is serving in Tampa, not the Everglades.
Hopefully she'll get to see a gator at some point on her mission!


She has appreciated the fun packages that some of you have sent!
Always fun to come home after a long day to a letter or package!
Package from Mom and a "greenie" package from Aunt Karen!


Goofing off with Hermana Losada!
Would you let these two "crazies" in your door? :)

 Stopping for a cool refreshment from the brutal Florida heat and humidity!
YUM  for Sonic!


Memorial Day fun included a ward party at the park, where because it was on P-day 
Karli actually got to play tennis against the elders and some members.
 She said she held her own and did well!
Since the next day was transfer day and some of the missionaries in her 
district were leaving , the district treated themselves to one last
 meal together at Olive Garden! More YUM!


Hermana Miller with some of her investigators!

She may not forgive me for posting this funny picture-
 but she had a "memorable" bike story.  
It involved a bloody nose- no kleenex and a Kotex pad at a
 four way stop in front of lots of traffic!
That's one bike ride she won't forget!

Guess these two Hermanas surprised each other one morning
 by both dressing in "polka dots"! Matching shirts- different colors!
Who knew it was national "polka dot day"?
Yeah for polka dots!  They always bring a smile to your face!

Enjoying some Latin food- well OK maybe Mexican-
not all that different from "El Tap" at home!

Teaching her companion to love peanut butter Oreos!

She and Hermana Losada send their love to all of you and their 
appreciation for your support and prayers!
