Elder Myler's emails from 5/26/14:
To Mom:
Hi mom thanks for the Email! I is good to hear that you are doing fine
and that you had a good Memorial day! Wow there in a lot going on right
now back at home Mitchell getting ready for his mission, macus getting
ready for school there is a lot that is happening but it sounds to me
like everything is going fairly well. This week has been good for me as
well. The weather here in Guayaquil is actually cooling down a bit (just
a tiny bit) it is fairly cool at night and early in the morning. The
seasons are opposite here because we are below the ecuador. Elder
Hernandez and I are still working hard and learing a lot about our new
languages (english and spanish). I am getting better at speaking the
language every day (even though i am still not that good at speaking)
but if i continue to grow and learn at the rate i am now i know i will
be proficient in spanish very soon :). prety soon here i will be hitting
the year mark. Time here in the mission is strange when i think about
all that i have done and the work i need to do 8 months feels like
forever, but when i thing about all my goals and plans for the mision 8
months feels like nothing. Well i know i have done what the lord want me
to do and that i will never regret this descision to serve. Thanks you
for writing me and for always writing and keeping updated on marcus and
everybody back at home. I love you and always miss you!
Thanks for stopping by the blog!

Week 34: A Baptism! with Pics!
Elder Myler's emails from 5/19/14:
To Mom:
Hello mom! This week was a great week for me Elder Hernandez and i had two more baptisms this week, we baptised two best friends named justin and roberto, They are two relly great kids and they remind me of dejon and myself back at home haha. I am sure he is still hanging around the house with marcus! Besides that everything is going just fine. So this week i ate manta ray for lunch one day, I pretty much thought it was just fish untill the memeber that gave us lunch thata day told us it was manta ray hahah just one of the many interesting things that i have eaten here in the mission. Elder Hernandez and i dont have any investgatros right now so we will be talking with everyone we meet this week. I have meet a lot of interesting people and it is so humbiling to know that they are all chirdren of God. It is tough at times to talk to strangers and as you know i can be a little quiet at times but i am learning to leave my comfort zone and talk with as many people as possible. Thank you for the email and the pictures! I love you and miss you

Week 33: Mother's Day

To Mom:
To Dad:Hi mom happy belated mothers day. I hope your specal day was great. Talking with you was such a blessing and has helped me remember why i am out here in the mission in the first place. I was sorry to hear that you will be stiking around with Edward Don but i guess i dont know the whole situation. I am sure you will do just fine but i also know how stressful your job can be at times. I discovered last week that i have a spoon in my apartment from Edward Don. I guess the mission only buys from the best :) hey also i will put another photo of me cleaning our baptism font for our baptism! I wish we had more time to on saturday and i was tough to say goodbye again but Christmas is just around the corner and by then i will have more than a year in the mission. Time is truly going by fast and i am trying to do all i can everyday to make this mission a real blessing in my life. I know it is tough at times but i know it will all be worth it soon. I love you mom and i miss you everyday.Con Amor Elder MylerP.S I am working on my family history here in the mission and need your and dad´s help. If you could send birth dates locations and the date and location of your marrage it would help me a lot! also if you could help and ask G-ma for the same information for her and for her parents it would be a blessing Hugs and Kisses!
Hello Dad, it was so great to talk to you mom and marcus on
saturday, it was diffiult to say goodbye again but it was worth it.
Yester day we had a confrence with our mission president and it was a
great exsperience for me. We learned a lot about how we are all sons and
daughters of heavenly father and about our potencal as his children. We
would all be more converted if we truly understood this important
docterine. We also learned a lot about the Godhead and the importanec of
each one of the members of the Godhead.
Hey i have a question for you. Do i need to pay titheing for the
interest money from my bank acount? I dont know if i should be paying
tithing for this money now or when i return form the mission.Thank you
for the letter dad, it is always great to read your letters

We have more baptismal dates so we will be working very hard every day. also i am very excited to talk with you mom and marcus. I emailed mom with the a time for the call.

Your son Elder Myler
To Mom:
hey mom so i this is more my normal email. I am super excited to talk
with you this saturday (hopefully) and cant wait to have plans more
concrete. I too like to have things well planned here in the mission and
at times it can be frustrating when things are not so well planned. But
the thing that i have learned for this is just to have paitence and
hope for the best. So nothing much is all that new here in the mission.
ELder Hernandez and I had a baptism this saturday which was super great
and very spiritual. We also asked for permission to leave the zone this
pday and visit other parts of the city. We still dont know if we have
permission or not so all we can do is wait. OH well, I am doing very
well and dont have quite as much stress as i had earlier in the mission.
I am tired almost all the time but I think everyone is more tired
during thier missions. haha well I gotta go, be sure to email me about
the call for mothers day and i wil do all i can to make sure everything
runs smoothly. Love you a lot and cant wait to talk. Elder Myler
Hello Mom, as you know we will be talking this week, and we need to plan
when and how, so lets start with when. My companion would like to talk
with his family saturday night at 7:00 so would it be allright if we
talked saturday night at 6:00? remember that this is in my time zone and
i dont know what the time differnece is so be sure to know at what time
this will be in Arizona. I dont know when i will be able to email again
to this time with you but i will try and email agian. If saturday night
at 6:00 (ecuadorian time) isnt the best time email me a new time and i
will change plans to call at that time. Also my companion has a skype
account with the name ¨elder-ohernandez¨ so be sure to share this email
with marcus so he can help set up the call on your end.
SO JUST REMEMBER SATURDAY 6:00 ECUADORIAN TIME. AND EMAIL
ASAP WITH THE TIME THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU IF THIS TIME DOSENT
WORK!!!!!!!! cant wait to talk with you dad and marcus (jetter too) Love
you Elder Myler
Week 31: Update end of April 2014
Elder Myler's emails from 4/28/14
To Chelsey:
Hey Chelsey! Thanks for the Email! It sounds like your week was well spent with mom and dad in Phoenix. I too had a very good week and am working hard. It can be hard sometimes to enjoy life in the moment during the mission. Things can become routine quickly and it is easy to want a change of companions or a transfer. but dwelling in these things will only make things worse. I am learning to love the mission no matter where i am or who i am with. I can be tough at times but i will try my best. Thanks too for the pictures chelsey! Everybody is looking good (Jetter included). Thanks Chelsey for the update and the email.

To Mom:
Hello Mom thank you for the letter. It sounds like you had a good time
with chelsey this past week. Leave it to chelsey to drive herself into
the water fall hahah, wow only ten weeks left for Mitchell thats crazy.
Well my week was great as well. Elder Hernandez and i are doing just
fine and actually have some baptismal date! we are very excited to be
able to prepare these people for their baptisms and this has given us
some extra momentum to work hard. Elder Hernandez is a bit of a goofball
compared to me. He always has jokes or a prank to pull on me. He is a
bit like marcus and it is good to have someone who isnt quite as serious
as i am. haha also we will be attempting to watch what we eat and are
trying to avoid eating in resturants or drink cola or juice with a ton
of sugar. We will be makeing our own lunch this afternoon so wish me
Luck! Also i will share a quick story. One of the families we eat lunch
with during the week has a little boy who is staring to learn how to
pray and so whenever we are with this family he always want to bless the
food. He is very diligent in asking heavenly father to bless people
(his parents, the missonaries, the computer, spiderman) and just about
everyone and everything else in his life, we all paitenly wait with our
arms folded and eyes closed while he is praying. The only thing he
forgets to bless is the food. Well thas about all i have time to write
about this week, Thanks for your suppot, your love and the weekly
update! I love you so much and miss you always.
Su hijo Elder Myler
To Myler Grandparents (Fred & Brenda):
Hey thanks for the letter papa and grandma! its great to hear from you
both! sounds like your trip and visit with chelsey was a good time. I
had a pretty good week as well, my companion and i are getting along
just fine and we are working hard. We are starting to improve our sector
and have a couple of baptism dates set up for May, we are very hopefull
that these investigators will come to know the timportance of what we
teach them and that they will be ready for their baptisms. We are also
trying to eat better and are going to try and make our own lunch this
week instead of going to a resturant. We will see if we have sufficient
cooking skills to make our lunch haha. I love you both and wish you the
best

Week 30: Easter 2014 and Photos!
Elder Myler's emails from 4/22/14
To Dad:
To Mom:
To Dad:
Happy easter! thank you for your emails. Here in Latin america
easter is called La Semana Sante (or holy week) and they celabrate like
Catholics, Friday saturday and sunday. everyone said its a big holiday
but i didnt notice much differnence in the streets, haha oh well. The
best part of this easter was our stake confrence, Sunday we got to hear
talk by Jeffery R. Holland and Richard G. Scott. They were in Ecuador
and their talks were transmited to all the stakes in Ecuador via
satalite. They both gave great talks and i had a great time. Hope to
hear from you again soon.
Con Amor Elder MylerTo Mom:
Hey mom, its so good to hear from you and all about Easter. My
easter was very differnet. Here in the mission, in latin america easter
is called la semana santa (the holy week) they mainly celabrate friday
staturday and sunday. It was more or less the same just work work work,
But for sunday we had our stake confrence and were able to hear talks
from Jeffery R. Hollad and Richard G. Scott The best part was that
Holland dosent speak spanish and gave an awsome introduction and
concluding testimony in spanish, he had some thing memorized in spanish,
but his testimony in spanish was very powerful and the spirit
defidently helped him with his tetimony in spanish. it was a good easter
for me. Haha I would have never thought marcus would get into
boomeranging but still it sounds like you guys have a lot of fun at the
parks with the boomerangs! Same old same old here, elder hernandez and i
are helping prepare a daughter of one of the memebers in our ward and
Elder hernandez and i are growing and improving every day. Hope you have
a good week, and keep me in your prayers
I love you Mom Elder Myler  |
