To My Baby Brother...

Dear Elder Miller,

You officially became a missionary this afternoon.  I couldn't be more proud of you.  Although I am the older sibling and supposed to be setting an example for you, you are doing that for me.  You are such a strong young man and so strong in your convictions.  You have been an incredible example to your friends and haven't wavered in your morals or standards, despite what those around you may have been doing.

You have an incredible testimony and don't hesitate to share it with anyone.  You've chosen to go on a mission, not because it is expected of you or because you were told it was the right thing to do, but because you believed in your heart that it was the right choice for you.  You are so positive about giving up the things of the world for the next two years and you welcome that opportunity with open arms.  It is inspiring to be able to be a part of your life and to see how much you have grown over the years.

I love you more than I could possibly ever express and I am so proud of this decision you have made.  I know that you are going to touch so many lives and Arizona is lucky to have you in their midst.  I can't wait to see how much more you grow over the next two years of your life and to see how much this experience will enhance your life.   Be faithful and be strong.  You're in good hands.  The best actually.

Love your big sis,

Monica
