I did it!!!!!!

Wow, I don't even have words to describe how im feeling. Well, for starters satan is just trying to get  his way and send me all kinds of feelings... including la GRIPE! that's right, I'm coming home sick. Haha stuffy nose, sore throat, and a cough haha.

This week has been a mixture of emotions. I cant help but look back on this part of my life with a sense of accomplishment. I did it! I served a full time mission! IN ECUADOR! I speak spanish! I helped others come unto Christ. I completed with my calling. It breaks my heart, la verdad, to go home. But I feel that its time. Ive done what I needed to do here and now I have other callings and responsibilities awaiting me. 

I leave my sector on Wednesday and will be in Guayaquil until next Monday where I will begin my travels home Monday late at night. I will be traveling for approximately 12 or 13 hours straight! YUCK! haha..... and the funniest part?? I will be taking three airplanes. My first flight I will be with an Elder that is going home as well! Not just any Elder, my Zone leader! haha Its okay, he is cool. It will just be weird... Not only will I be without a companion... but I will be with a guy! haha Talk about uncomfortable. 

This mission is amazing. Being a missionary is amazing. I have no words to describe it. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and I will forever be grateful that I did it. I know that God was with me and I continue to feel his help everyday.

I'm not the same person I was when all this started, lots of things have happened. Im not perfect but I  understand more about what I need to do with my life. 

I love you all! This will be the last email you recieve from me as a missionary. I love you I love you I love you!

Next week,  HUGS! haha and lots of tears!

Dont get scared when you see how much weight ive gained. hahahaha 

Love, Hna Miller

Mango Man!

A VEEEER. Okay entonces solo voy a hablar en español. Jaja BROMA. Hablare en ingles. This week felt like a replay from the last week. Im still with Hermana Rojas we have been in and out of the house. I JUST WANNA WORK! haha I dont like being at home, but good news is that she is feeling better so we are going to be working a little more. Bad news? No hay Pday hoy. We only get Pday from 12 to 2 today just time to eat and write the family because this tuesday (mañana) we are going to travel to Guayaquil because WENSDAY (wedsday?...Wednesday?... No se) we have the CHRISTMAS CONFERENCE! Woohoo! CHRISTMAS! They are doing it early this year for the people that go home the 1st of december. and on jueves I have a meeting. We call it "taller por los muertos"... or the "Dead ppl meeting" AKA the meeting for those who are going home. Its like a meeting or class to put goals for your life or something.... im in denile. haha I still dont feel like im going home, it feels like a joke. Im just waiting for the punch line. 

Anyways, maybe you are all asking why the title of this email is mango man? Portoviejo is known for (other than its bad water) its mango trees! There are so many mangos all over the place! So the other day instead of just doing normal contacting we decided to ask this little old man if he would give us some of his mangos....he did.. :) and then we gave him a picture of Jesus Christ and started talking about all kinds of stuff. Turns out he is a painter, he let us in to show us his paintings, we met his wife and in the end he opened up and told us that he feels empty sometimes, like his life is missing something, and that he feels like he has a hard time being happy. So what did we do?? WE SHARED THE GOSPEL. Boom. He is always a little busy but we will be passing by his house one of these days to teach him a message. Cute little old man.

So, I feel like I have so much to say but I dont know how to say any of it. ME FALTAN LAS PALABRAS. Les quiero un monton. Espero que esten bien y aunque va a ser muy dificil terminar yo se que todo estara bein. Cuidense!

Ants in my pants!

Okay, so the title of this email might be a little strange but I couldnt help it. No matter how much bleach I use. No matter how much I sweep, here in ecuador THERE IS ALWAYS ANTS! Ants in my food, ants in my clothes, ants in my bed! Haha, always. Its okay, I will probably miss them when I get home... maybe.. haha

So this week I went to the temple with the sister that has been a little sick. She did baptismal work for her grandparents! It was a cool expirience. She wasnt doing to well so we had to sleep in the mission presidents house... and let me tell ya it was one of the coolest yet strangest expiriences of my entire life haha!! Not every missionary gets to eat breakfast with the mission president, haha. We went to guayaquil wednesday night, slept in the temple housing, thursday morning I had my last leadership meeting. It was hard to accept that it would be my last one. Here in this mission at the end of every official meeting we sing the missions hymn and this time I couldnt help but cry while we sang it. I love being a missionary so much, and time is just the worst enemy. Thursday at about 4 in the afternoon we went to the mission house and just hung out with the mission presidents wife. She made us chocolate chip cookies. We watched a church movie, it was so strange to be in a normal house. And even MORE strange to felt taken care of.... haha if that sounds weird lol I dont know, like.... someone made us cookies! haha... It was a fun expirience! It made me miss my mama. Haha

I cant believe how much time has gone by I know that when I go home I will be leaving a part of me here. Its a strange mixture of feelings but I know that I will be okay.

This week we had an entire FAMILY come to church, we hardly had any time to work but a whole entire family was able to come with us to church. I was so happy to see them there! I know God is mindful of each one of us. This week I will still be in and out of the house with this Sister but I know that I will do my best to keep the work moving forward!

See ya soon!
Love, Hna Miller

Happy Halloween!

Well... its halloween again.. what? I feel like yesterday I carved a watermelon with Sister Zarate! And now its halloween again! They dont celebrate halloween here... booo hoooo. haha Its okay, im already planning my costume heh heh heh heh its a surprise.

So good news this week? Im not sick any more! YAY! I heard you guys got my flight itinarary (i cant spell in english)? Haha are you kidding me! AJSLGDHLAIS AAAAAAAAAAAH respira respira... todo esta bien. Im actually super nerviosa para terminar la mision. I feel like I have so much to tell you guys but Im drawing a blank.... ummmmmm

They asked me to sing in the christmas conference again! So that will be fun, its in the end of november. Que mas? This week was actually super hard. This sector just in general is really hard, haha its a lot of businesses and a lot of old people that "were born in this religion and plan on dieing in this religion" hahaha... im not gonna say cual.

But thats okay it just forces me to focus more and to work even harder. We are trying our best to find people to teach. We have been working a lot with less active members too. Yesterday 5 less active members came to church :) So, for me, that is success :) haha

Im excited to see you guys but I really, REALLY, REAAALLLY am having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that my mission is coming to an end. On one hand I feel like ive been here forever, but on the other hand I feel like I just got here.

I just have really confusing feelings. haha

I love you all, hope you have a happy halloween! Dont forget to send me pictures of the pumpkins and costumes! Love you all.

A change of Heart!

Hola mi familia!

Today, instead of Pday we had a Multi-Zone conference here in Portoviejo. President Dennis came with his wife and the asistants and it was actually really cool. We brought a sack-lunch and we heard a couple of messages. They talked about obedience (and lots more, but this part was my favorite) They talked about how us, as missionaries, need to raise the bar. Change. Become consecrated missionaries. How to really change, and be converted. I am (of course) excited to go home and see you guys. But la verdad, am truly heart broken to leave this part of my life behind. I am terrified that I will go home and fall back into the old "me" ... it isnt that I was a bad person, its just that God spent so much time and effort to make me who I am that I am scared that I will go home and forget that. 

Its not just the missionaries that need to raise the bar. The families of the church are under attack. We live in the time prophetized (haha.... I hope im not inventing words, English is hard) by the prophets of old and we need to do what we can to stay in the right path. Do I kneel to say my prayers? Do I do my family home evenings? Do I read the scriptures every day? Am I keeping the Sabbath Day Holy? These are questions I will be asking myself when I get home.

This week (we are still in trio) has been interestingly long. I read my email from the week pasada and realized just how sad it sounded. I just wanna take a minute and say PERDÓNENME. This week I realized what the problem was. ME. My attitude! I had lost sense of my purpose and started to see the negative in everything. Today helped me realize that maybe our result level is low. But if I truly TRUUUULY give it my best I can sleep peacefully at night knowing that God sees my efforts and I will be blessed for what I give here.

I may not have much time left but I will give all of my heart to this glorious work. I havent been the best missionary, the smartest, the strongest, the most obedient, the most succesful. BUT I CAN ALWAYS CHANGE. We are changing, all of us! Everyday! Its a decision that we make to be the best that we can. To truly become concecrated. I have made covenants with a God who WANTS to bless me. But literally CAN NOT do so unless I obey Him. Not only obey, but be happy doing it. 

This week was especially hard. There is a woman who´s name is Lorena. She is an amazing woman with so much faith. Last wednesday we extended a baptismal date and she accepted. To be baptized this 7th of november she would have to get married one week earlier. She is 42 years old, absolutely in love with her best friend who has lived with her for more than 15 years. He is sick with a variety of sicknesses and the thought of a temple marriage touched her heart. In her prayer before we left she said "anhelo casarme y bautizarme. Gracias padre por enviarme estas dos angeles." (She longs to get married and baptized. She thanked God for sending her two angels) after weeks of looking and searching we found someone who was willing to progress... but that night Lorena was sent to the emergency room. She had a stroke. 

She is okay, and is now in therapy and is at home as well.

We dont know why the things that happen, happen. But I am sure that God is loving. And all knowing, and He will make sure that everything turns out right. 

This week (once again) my perspective has changed. Maybe the results I want arent here yet. Maybe my goals are just out of reach... maybe the sector is still hard, the sun is still strong, my companions are still imperfect, and I am still impatient...... But my attitude is different. I know that I will be going home soon. But I also know, and promise that with the little time that I have left I will give all that I have. In hopes to some how repay God even the smallest portion of what I owe him. Ive spent all of my mission in hopes of becoming the "perfect" missionary or what we call a "concecrated" missionary. But I have FINALLY realized something....Being a concecrated missionary isnt the goal. The goal is to give it our all, to work hard everyday, to stay focused, and in the process of doing so we truly become converted and concecrated. Its inevitable. I, with all my many imperfections, will become a little bit more like my Savior.

Im sorry that this email is so long, and maybe a little preachy.... but I truly hope that you guys can read and think about what ive said. and to my missionary friends reading this... if there is no time to read all of this now print it out and read it later. I hope that in some way, Ive been able to help.

Even though we are all far away, I know that our love for God keeps us close.

Loves!

Refiners Fire

Well, here we are again, la verdad, I cant believe its already Monday.TIME IS GOING SO FAST! Chutica no se como es Pday otra vez.

This week we were able to go to the temple! Woohoo! We were able to do a session and it was just what I needed. The truth is things here in La Paz 2 havent gotten any easier. We are really sturggling finding people to teach but the work must go on! There have been many times this week were all I wanted to do was just give up. Sit down on the curb, and cry. But I look around and see alllllll these people that need this gospel and know that I must keep looking and searching! I know that there are people here who need us! They are just really good at hiding! haha This sector feels like my final trial, haha the refiners fire to finally polish me up before going home.

Thanks for the emails and pictures, My email will be a little shorter today and Im not sure if I will have time to respond to all of your emails because I had difficulties in opening my account and now I dont have very much time left (and I wanna send pics haha)

My companion is really great. She is obedient and works hard and tries her best everyday to contribute. Im pretty sure she thinks im super weird though haha she is a little on the serious side and as you guys know.... Im not very serious hahaha.. ut whatever, She loves me.

Today we are going to a mall outside of our sector to eat cheese cake. hahahahaha Dont judge, I will lose weight when I get home. DEJENME SER FELIZ! haha

I love the fact that I speak spanish, sabe? Its so much fun! 

Love you all! Pray for you too... Love,
Sister Miller

Another week down!

Well, my time is starting to tick down. You would think that as I got more experience the mission would be easier right?? haha Well, I did too.. but this week has been difficult.
Sometimes its hard to stay positive. Its really hard training, and even harder with someone who isnt really used to the culture or mission life. Ive felt pretty alone this week, until something happened!
One day we walked from the morning all the way to five at nigt because no one would let us in, or they werent home. My companion just complained the whole time asking me why the people wouldnt let us in, why did I make us walk so much, that we dont have any good investigators, that I shouldve planned better, la la la... I know she does it just because she doesnt understand yet, and I imagine that day was harder for her than it was for me. Now, I feel bad about it but at the time I was pretty self-pittying. and it got to the point where I knocked on an investigators door and she told me she was too busy right now and closed the door... and I just stood there. There was no where else to go. I could feel tears stinging in my eyes, and a lump in the back of my throat. I wanted to cry so badly..... but I just wiped my eyes and we kept walking.
I just said a quick prayer and immediately I felt better. We walked with a little more purpose in our step as we tried to find someone to teach. I have had days like that my whole mission but I had forgotten something really important that day, I forgot to just enjoy it. Only for this time of my life would I be a full time missionary walking in the dusty dirt roads of Ecuador! Why wasn't I enjoying it? Because pretty soon I am gonna miss is so bad all I will do is dream about coming back here.
Sometimes in this life we get to a point where we "Just cant wait until..:" Like, I just cant wait to finish high school! I just cant wait untill the weekend! I just cant wait until im married, or happy, or done with whatever thing it is we are dealing with! And before we know it everything's over and we would give anything to go back and live it again. Don't wait until its over to love it! Enjoy every day, God gave it to you for a reason!
I love you guys so much! I love my mission (and my companion) even though we drive each other absolutely crazy. I know I have some patience to learn, and God is just giving me a chance to do so.
Love, Sister Miller
p.s. enjoy Hawaii this week! lol Im super jealous


 
my new companion!

Now What???? Ha Ha Ha!

Well, Emily is married! I cant even believe it! This is so weird.... sometimes I forget how long ive been here until reality just hits me in the face. The pictures look amazing! 

Well, here I am. 15 pounds heavier, covered in acne and funny tan lines and huge calf muscles. Haha, Im a keeper! 

This week was a longer one. Training is super hard, to tell the truth, probably one of the hardest things Ive had to do on my whole mission. I know its a calling from God but I can certainly tell he wants me to learn a lot of things, primarily patience.

God helps us everyday, sometimes you just gotta look a little harder!

In my personal study ive been focusing a lot on christlike attributes, I feel like I dont have enough time to learn all the stuff that God needs me to learn but I try my hardest everyday to keep a smile on my face and count my blessings. Freezing cold shower again? At least I have water. Dead fly in my soup? Extra proteine. Haha.... my oh my...... Lol

But the truth is Ecuador is amazing. The mission isnt anything that I thought itd be, but everything that I needed. 

I love you guys! haha dont forget about me, or I might just buy a house and stay here, lol

Just kidding

I am training!!!!!! GGGGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

So! Its official! I am a mom! hahaha
My new companions name is Sister Moya, she is from Arizona and her parents are from Mexico. So the good news? SHE ALREADY KNOWS SPANISH! haha I dont have to teach her spanish! haha she is my very first gringa companion. Its really weird speaking English to someone.
We couldnt be anymore different her and I, but for some reason she looks up to me. Haha! She likes to study korean, she has been a member her whole life, she loves dragon ball-Z, She has never lived a way from home. But she is super nice, and really wants to help. She is doing really good!
Trainging is such a weird expirience because it makes me think back to when I started the mission...more than a year ago! It really made me realize just how much I have changed. Im not even a shadow of the person I was. Or at least thats how I feel- The truth is.. when I started my mission I didnt think I could do it. I would look at the little time I had been there and alllllllllllll the time that I had left.. and I felt like giving up a lot. But now Im here. God does miracles through me everyday! Being a trainer helps me see all the stuff that has happened... and the way that God has molded ME and changed ME. In the scriptures when it talks about (i totally cant say it in english... haha but in spanish si!!) but it says something along the lines of how great would your joy be if you brought but one soul unto me. That soul was mine! And let me tell ya! The joy is great! and then it goes on to say and how great would your joy be if you bring more souls unto me?? Its a feeling I cant ever describe without getting all teary and mushy hahaha.... I love this gospel so much, and I know that this is Gods work!
The reason I couldnt write yesterday (and im writing right now) is because I was in a meeting for the leaders in the mission allllllllllllllll day long. We had to spend the night in guayaquil and everything. But it was a super cool expirience because I got to sleep in the portete house.. and just so if you dont remember Portete was my first sector here in the mission. When me and my companion got out of the taxi I was taking out my luggage when I heard a little voice say "Hermana Miller...?" I turned around and just started crying! haha (i know im a baby) But it was ALEXANDER!!!! my very first baptism! Hermana Lyda (his grandma that also got baptized with him) came out and hugged me! I couldnt believe that the still remembered me.. my name and everything! and recognized me too!
I love these people so much! They have changed my life forever.
I love you all and miss you so much! 
Saludos de ecuador!
Besitos!

I am going to have a baby!, Well....Not Really!

Okay, so Im kind of freaking out. TRANSFERS CAME! Sister Velez was transfered. They called us at 11:00 at night and we packed until about 1 o'clock in the morning and got up at like 4:30 to go to the bus terminal. BUT... PLOT TWIST.... I wouldnt be traveling with her to pick up my new companion. I will be staying and working with Hermana Hobbs until wednesday... Why? You may ask! Because our companions havent arrived yet... I was so confused when they told me that... but what they were trying to say is... WE ARE GONNA TRAIN! Haha My companion is gonna be fresh from the MTC and I will be her trainer. asdjfhñasdfhañishfkasjdfhas I just about had a heart attack. Hahaha, the reason the title of this email is "Im gonna have a baby" is because when someone enters the mission field we say that they were "born" and when they leave they "die" haha and the trainers are like moms or dads hahaha.... so its official. Im a mom. Lol

Im gonna miss hermana Velez alot. But it was cool being her companion. I learned so much with her. This week went by soooooooooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooow. No one came to church, and we dont really have any progressing. We just need to find more people. Ive got alot of work ahead of me!! But BRING IT ON! hahaha

I miss you guys so much, and love you even more. Thanks for always writing me :) You guys make me happy haha... I feel like so much has happened and so many things have changed. And it freaks me out quite a bit haha, but I know that everything will be okay. I miss you all BASTANTE... but I know I am in good hands.

Les quiero mucho!!

Love, Sister Miller

Hello Columbia!

Well this week was...... really long to be honest haha
The two baptismal dates that we had fell through and it really sucks. Miguel didnt show up to church and he like.. disapeared haha his family talks really bad about the church and so he doesnt really know what to do because he wants to get baptized. And Francisco moved :( his wife lives like 6 hours away and she has been really sick. He was just gonna go visit her to see if she was alright but then like one day later he came back, gathered all of his stuff and decided that he was gonna go live there and stay there. So that sucks, the good news though is that him and his wife are gonna get baptized, just not here with us... So kind of mixed feelings haha.

How are things on your end?? Lol Gloria, Danners mom is gonna make me a dress! Wohoo! haha so that is really exciting. She is really good at sewing.

OH YEAH I ALMOST FORGOT! They almost kicked me out of Ecuador (haha okay.. thats an exaggeration) but so like I told you guys last week I had to renew my visa... we drove 2 hours to guyaquil signed like 2 or 3 papers took our picture (we were there like 10 mintues) and then drove 2 hours home.. haha talk about frustrating. But turns out they changed the format and so if the office elders didnt change our documents and stuff in time they were gonna send us to columbia haha. The next day we had to travel AGAIN at like 6 in the morning to go to guayaquil and sign other papers! haha but this time wasnt AS frustrating because I was able to have an interview with my mission president despues and he is so cool. Haha So i have had to use quite a bit of money this week in travels (SORRY) but the office will re-emburse (i cant spell) haha 

I spent those two days traveling with Hermana Hobbs because she had to renew her stuff too. It was so much fun!

I love and miss you guys so much! Pretty soon here I will have 14 months! YIKES.

Love, Sister Miller

Tuesday, July 14, 2015

I forgot to tell you.....T H E C H I C K E N!!!!

I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!
One of my ivestigators gave us a chicken! hahahahahaha She said hey before you leave I have a chicken for you! and she stood up and ran into her kitchen... I thought she was gonna bring us rice and chicken, fried chicken, grilled. No se! pero! She brought us a real live chicken! hahahaha so we carried him to the house of a member.... the member is gonna kill it and cook it for next saturdays lunch! We named him elder after we died laughing! what an expirience. I hope that no one gives us an animal thts bigger... like a goat!



Super Gringa!!!!!!!

Hello, My name is Sister Miller. Sometimes I forget that I am a gringa until I get some weird Jungle Influenza haha... 

So Ive been sick this week. Lol Monday allllll day and tuesday alllllll day I was stuck in the house with my companion with a super high fever of like 102.5, bone pain, headache, diareah, you name it. It was fantastic! Not, haha. The nurses told me that it couldve been Dengue or Chikungunya but luckily the fever went away and turns out I just had some really weird flu stuff.

Wednesday my fever went away and so we decided to go out and work... and guess what? WE WERE BLESSED FOR MY SACRIFICE, maybe I didnt feel all that well but we went out and worked for a little bit and we found someone SUPER excited about the gospel and he will be getting baptized the 25 of july!! Woohoo! His name is Francisco :)

Wednesday night at like 6 we went to Guayaquil because I had a leadership counsel meeting Thursday all day and we stayed the night close to a couple of my old sectors. So that was fun, I got to see some of my missionary friends from other zones. 

I saw Hermana Cordova, who told me that acouple of my converts have started returning back to some old habbits... and one has stopped attending church. It hurt me so bad to know that they are using their agency in a way that will only bring them problems. I know I am doing my part but it made me sad to know that not everyone will endure to the end.

Today, I will be traveling to Guayaquil again (sorry I have to take out money) to go renew my Visa haha,.... its weird to think that my visa is already close to expiring.

Other than that yesterday we were teaching a man that had never attended church but  felt so strongly to talk to him about baptism.. and guess what?? Now he will be getting baptized the 8th of August! haha and now he cant wait for Sunday! His name is Miguel :)

The Lord blesses us for our obedience!

Love, Sister Miller


super gringa!!!!super sick!







Friday, June 19, 2015

Well...

Well, transfers came and went! I was sure I was gonna be transfered but (lucky me) I wasnt. Im still in Esperanza with Sister Velez. 

This week went by so fast, we went to guayaquil for two conferences (one with a couple of zones, and another just for Sisters) and we got to do a session in the temple! So we didnt have much time to work, but the conferences were really cool.

It looks like you guys are enjoying summer. It makes me laugh that you guys think you are having hot weather. USTEDES NO CONOCEN EL SOL! Haha, its still really hot here (surprise, I know) but im becoming a big baby, because if im in the shade for too long and there is a little breeze I get goosebumps. Needless to say when I come home I am going to die.

This week just flew by, I feel like I never have time for anything its always just go go go go! haha

The other day when we were at the beach it was super funny because we are so used to walking like "missionaries" or in other words, relly fast that we were trying to enjy a nice walk by the beach and we finished in like 2 seconds haha... oops!

All is well in ecuador, everyday we see miracles. Sometimes I forget that I live in ecuador. Until I walk into a house and there is a goat in the living room. Ive been away from home for so long that everything before just seems like a dream. Like I have been a missionary my whole life and that all the expiriences that I had before are just clips from a movie that I saw a really long time ago. Its a really weird feeling... haha I dont know how to explain it! 

I love you all so much.
You are real right? Not just a dream? haha

Love, Sister Miller

P.S...... I just really love rice.
I ate something really weird the other day... its called Bollo de pescado. LOOK IT UP

One year later... What the heck??

Well, I have blisters again. Big ones too! I dont know how I am still getting blisters.. one year later and I still got them. Dont worry I was super cruel and took pictures haha

This week was super awesome! We had so much success and we had people in church aswell! Which is super good because it was stake conference and two general authorities came. Elder Calderon (de ecuador) and ELder Waddell (de the USA) . AND my mission president and his wife. When we arrived he told us "Hey sisters, how are you doing. Did you bring anyone??" and we just about had a heart attack, but luckily we had three people come that day so he went and introduced himself! It was weird! haha, but awesome. Also, I decided that gringos are just really weird. I am so used to seeing latinos that when I see gringos it kind of weirds me out haha THEY ARE SO TALL. AND SO WHITE! haha

Last Pday we went to the beach and collected sea shells. It was so much fun! We were gonna just grab ike 10 each... but we ended up bringing home about 100 each... hahaha so right now in the house we have about 200 sea shells. Somos locas yo lo se! 

Today we are gonna go back to the beach to have a picnic :) Im super excited. My companion is awesome and we get along really good. Sometimes we drive eachother a little nuts I think, but thats normal when you have to be with one person for 24 hours each day haha

Well, Ive already been with her one cambio (6 weeks) and the next transfers will be here next monday- I really dont want to leave here! I hope that I dont have cambios! I love my sector and my companion!

AND GUESS WHAT! IM GOING TO THE TEMPLE THIS MIÉRCOLES! WOHOOOOOOOO! I am one happy missionary.

I love you all! Have a good week!

This week we found lots of investigators... so now for this new week we will be inviting quite a few people to baptism! Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers! 

Love, Sister Me-yer (thats how they say my name here haha) or Mee-ler





MY HUMPDAY CAMEL!
ONE YEAR MARK!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
