Reality Sets-In!

The reality of Covid-19 and its far-reaching effects has set in for Ty once again. Things in the Newport Beach Mission are a little slower than he would like them to be, and he is finding it difficult to remain positive at times. He and his companions are trying to be creative about their use of time and how they interact with members and those who may be potentially interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and his gospel. Ty has spent a lifetime doing hard things. I am confident he will get through this difficult journey as well. Lots and lots of prayers for Elder Milne and all the missionaries throughout the world!

Dear Elder Milne (Ty Guy)!

I miss you so much, but I am happy you have returned to serving your Savior Jesus Christ. I know the circumstances under which you are serving are less than ideal, but I am confident that Heavenly Father is mindful of you and your desire to serve and teach, and with some patience and creativity you will find ways to do just that if you seek His help, forget about yourself, and lose yourself in the service to others. I know it may seem that a lot of what you are doing is a waste of precious time, but maybe you can use this time to pray a little more fervently, study a little longer, and do what you can to improve a little each day. For now, it may seem this virus has slowed and even halted missionary work, but I know for certain that our Heavenly Father is in control, and He will use this evil that has come upon us to further His purposes. I know that as things continue on, this virus and the stress and circumstances that accompany will be turned into incredible opportunities to bring souls unto Christ. Hearts will be softened, doors will be opened, and the work will continue to move forward at an accelerated pace. I feel compelled to promise you that if you can just hang in there a little longer, you will be blessed to reap the harvest that all of this will bring. People will be hungry for truth. They will be seeking for peace, answers about the very purpose of their lives, and ways to renew and strengthen their relationship with God as their Father and their older brother Jesus Christ. I know it is super hard right now, but if you can exercise a particle of faith (remember Alma 32), I know that faith will grow into a perfect knowledge that God is in control, He is mindful of all of His children (especially His missionaries), and He will always open the doors necessary for His work to progress. 

I am super proud of you for being willing to return to the mission field. It was definitely harder to let you go the second time you left. I went home and cried myself to sleep. However, I too must have faith that Heavenly Father has His hand upon you and He will bless and prosper you. I know that it is hard to believe, but I do know that He loves you even more than I do. That brings me so much comfort and peace. Hang in there my precious son. You have done hard things your entire life. This is just another hurdle, but rest assured you have Heavenly help on both sides of the veil. I pray daily the Lord will send His most valiant angels to protect you and buoy you up. 


Take care of yourself Ty. Know you are loved beyond measure. I ordered you a new phone, because no one in St. George had one in stock. It will be here tomorrow (Tuesday) and I will send it in the mail with your golf pants. Was there anything else you needed me to send? Happy P-Day!

All My Love,

Mom 


Letter from Dad:

Buenos Dias

How are you?
Where are you? What city are you in?

How many companions do you live with?  Who are they?

What is the COVID status of your area there in Orange County?  Can you attend church yet?

Is your mission Spanish speaking or what?

What else is going on?


Love,

Brother BG Milne


Letter from Elder Milne:


Hey Dad,

Thanks for writing! I'm in Rancho Santa Margarita. The name is Spanish, but I am speaking 0 Spanish. Still have language study. But my area is English. I have 2 companions - Elder Zento and Elder Provencio.  We have nothing in common, but i'm trying to be positive. I am in quarantine, and we don't have church. You were right Dad - not doing a ton.

But I had a great day yesterday. My companion was on the phone with a non- member woman, and he wasn't doing to well. I was on my bed reading the scriptures in the other room, and I had the impression to say what was on my mind. I ended up talking to this lady about The Book of Mormon and bore my testimony. She then invited us to teach her a lesson, so we'll see how that goes. Then about 30 mins later, another lady called, and I talked to her the whole time.  She wants to learn more.

Honestly Dad, this has been very hard on me. I was having a hard time wondering why I'm here with not much going on, but after the day I had yesterday, I recognize that there is work to be done and that God has called me here for a reason at this time. So I hope things start picking up quickly, but I know I'm gonna get through this. 
Appreciate all you do Dad!

Love,

Elder Ty Adams Milne

The In-Between....

On March 31st at 10:30 pm, Elder Milne flew into the St. George Airport after a long and unsettling journey from Peru. The missionaries in the Ica and other areas outside of Lima had a lot of difficulties getting to the international airport in Lima due to local officials. This Covid-19 virus has made people crazy, and for a few minutes, Ty and the missionaries he was traveling with didn't think they would be allowed to get on the bus to take them to Lima. The missionaries in Peru were flown out the country on a jet chartered by the US government. The US embassy workers in Peru, including the head of the embassy all left on flights two weeks ago. President Donald Trump stepped in and had military personnel escort the flight out of Peru. Ty, as I'm sure all the other missionaries, was very glad to reach American soil. By the time we had him in the car heading to our home in Washington, UT, he broke down in sobs. He said he couldn't believe he was finally home and expressed how stressful the past 24 hours had been. It was good to have Elder Milne with us safe and sound at last.

For the next two weeks, all the missionaries returning from foreign countries had to quarantine for two weeks. I thought we would all lose our minds, but we made it through. Ty did find ways to connect with those outside our family who wanted to see him. He met many friends outside the house in the open air, and maintained a six foot distance from them. Once the two weeks was over, we all rejoiced. A day or two after returning from Peru, Ty was released as a missionary by President Carnavale. It didn't take Ty too long to get back into the pre-mission life, however, we enjoyed hearing of his many experiences he didn't share in emails or phone calls. Now the waiting began - where and when would he be re-assigned? Would he be allowed to return to Peru - a country and culture he had grown to love in such a short amount of time? Once church headquarters announced that missionaries could be reassigned if they chose and then given the option to return to their original mission, we were elated. We had fasted specifically that Ty would have the opportunity to return to Peru once the country was deemed safe to return to. It seemed to take forever to get Ty's reassignment. He was the last one in our stake to get his new assignment, and even then, he still had to wait six more weeks to leave. He was thrilled to be reassigned to the California, Newport Beach mission (this mission would allow him to use his Spanish some of the time). We were all so excited!

Knowing Ty still had six weeks, we told him he needed to find a job. The Lord was merciful! The first job he inquired after, a car wash and detailing center close by our house, hired him on the spot and he was able to begin the next day. He worked, on average, forty hours a week up until one week before his leaving to California. He was paid $8.00 an hour, but typically made around an additional $60.00 a day in tips. This gave him some spending money and the ability to pay for a few more months of his mission. When Ty wasn't working, he was going on a date or doing a variety of fun things with friends. He enjoyed every minute of his time back home. Before he left for California, we were able to do some fun things as a family. One thing we all really came to treasure was Sundays. We often met as an entire family to partake of the Sacrament and study the Come Follow Me curriculum. We also held testimony meetings and assigned uplifting talks or watched conference talks together. We also spent four days in Oxnard, California. We rented a beautiful beach house right in the harbor. Carley's parents and sister Abby joined us, along with Ty's Aunt Nanette. We had so much fun just hanging out at the beach for a few days, eating out at yummy restaurants, kayaking in the harbor, playing spike ball and air hokey, singing and playing guitar around the outdoor fire, and just being together. A few days after returning home, we headed to the Beaver Mountains where we rented a large cabin and had a family reunion with several of my brothers and sisters and their families. We really had a great time. We enjoyed lots of yummy food, hiking, fishing, boating, playing games, and of course singing songs and playing the guitar. It was a wonderful way to end his in-between time. The night we returned from the reunion, Ty was once again set apart as a missionary, and President Carnavale gave Ty a beautiful blessing. The next morning, we were once again at the St. George airport telling Elder Milne goodbye. I believe it was harder the second time around to let him go. I returned home and cried myself to sleep. However, I am so happy he was able to return, especially under such interesting circumstances. The Corona virus is still prevalent, especially in California, so we are unsure what missionary life will be like for Elder Milne once he arrives there.

15-Day-Quarantine and Alma 32:27


Greetings Elder Milne!

Wow! What an interesting time for you and for all of us. We received word that Peru is on a 15 day lock-down. This will be an interesting experience for you, but might also give you time to work hard on the learning the Spanish language and to get creative with your missionary work! Stay calm and positive, and do all you can to cultivate a stronger relationship with the Spirit (as President Nelson has asked - learn how the Spirit speaks to you; learn to hear Him). Missionary work without the Spirit of the Lord guiding and directing it is in vain. Please know we love and miss you very much, but we are comforted knowing the Lord has his hand on you at all times. We pray for you daily (multiple times), and we are confident they are heard and answered on your behalf. We are hoping to hear from you today to get an update on how everything is going. Please take this time to get some much needed rest, to study the scriptures more in depth, and to work on your Spanish.

We are all in Rio Rancho this week. Mom, Dallin, Hayley, Carter, and Carley all drove here on Saturday to spend the week with dad. Yesterday (Sunday) we had an amazing day. Bishop Smith gave the priesthood holders permission to administer the sacrament in their homes, so we had a very special sacrament meeting. Dad conducted and was in charge of the music, mom gave the opening prayer, Carter blessed the Sacrament and dad passed it, Carley and Carter gave two amazing talks, Dallin and Hayley then taught the Come Follow Me lesson for this week (Jacob 1-4), and dad did the closing song and prayer. It was amazing and the Spirit was so strong. We thought of you throughout the meeting and of course prayed for you throughout the day. 

Things are a bit crazy here in the United States and a little uncertain. Schools have been closed, and when Spring Break is over, everyone will go to an online format. Mom's classes will pretty much remain the same, and she will continue to see clients on Wednesday nights, but has been told her class lengths maybe shortened - yay!! Dad's work schedule hasn't been affected yet, but they are taking extra precautions to make sure they are doing extra sanitizing, etc...  Other than all of that, life continues on as usual. Not much else to tell you. We brought Buster and Millie with us to New Mexico. They seem excited to be back in the backyard. 

Yesterday, Dallin took a trip down memory lane as they looked at all the pictures and videos saved on our home computer. It was awesome to see so many happy memories. We have attached a special picture of your baptism in Minnesota for you. We will also try and attach a funny video of Carter playing the piano and singing and you joining him with some background dancing - haha! 

Well, not much else to share. How are things with your new companion? How are things going as you lead in this area? How are the people doing you are teaching? Are you still able to meet with them? Take care of yourself son, stay healthy and safe, and know you are loved more than you can ever imagine. Be at peace - all is well!

Mom and Dad


Ty's Baptism in Minnesota




Hey Everyone!

Well, things are definitely getting interesting. We are now on a 15 day quarantine. So, it looks like I'll be spending a lot of time learning Spanish and catching up on some sleep - haha. Our mission president has done a good job making sure we have plenty of food and water to last. I know this quarantine is necessary but I'm still frustrated. Our friend Jose had scheduled to be baptized on March 25th. We then realized due to the quarantine that wasn't going to be possible so we challenged him to be baptized Sunday (which was yesterday). He said he didn't feel like he was ready. We thought he was ready so I said to him, "Jose, do you have a desire to follow Jesus Christ?" He said yes, so I shared with him Alma 32:27 and told him that having a desire to believe and a desire to be baptized was enough. The Spirit was so strong when I shared this and he said yes, he would be baptized this Sunday. Well, then of course church was canceled, and now we have to wait until after the 15 day quarantine. Because church was canceled, we had the opportunity to take the Sacrament to some of the members of our ward and also to the 9-year-old girl who was recently baptized. Her whole family participated in the sacrament. It was a really cool experience.

This past week I also went to Lima and met with our mission president and the group of missionaries I came to Peru with. We all got to share how things were going for us. I was happy to find out my Spanish is going as good or better than the missionaries in my group. Some of the missionaries were really discouraged with the language and their areas. I feel like I have been very blessed to have a good trainer and to be serving in an awesome area, and my Spanish is really improving. My mom asked me in her email if I am struggling being homesick. I told her I wasn't and then told her I had a dream a few nights ago that I was back home in Utah and instead of being really excited, I was really sad because I wasn't on my mission. I know this is where I am supposed to be, and I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve the Lord. Even though this is a really crazy time for everyone right now, there is no place I'd rather be. I love you all and thank you for your love and support.

Elder Milne

PS... Sorry for the delay on the email. I am currently in New Mexico and things have been a little crazy. It was really fun talking to Ty this week. His brothers and their cute wives were here, so we all got to visit with Ty. He looked and sounded so good. He truly has the missionary glow. I have seen so much growth in his testimony and overall maturity. I have been praying everyday he would be blessed with the gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues, and I truly believe my prayers are being answered. He and Carter talked back and forth in Spanish and Ty taught us the first discussion in Spanish. Wow! It was so awesome. This is such a crazy time for everyone, especially missionaries. Please continue to pray for all of them throughout the world. Love you all - Natalie



Elder Milne's First Transfer and Inca Cola


We didn't get to email Ty because he told us he would be talking to us on Tuesday. Well, he surprised us and emailed and called on Monday instead. 


Hey Everyone,

I know I told everyone that my p-day would be tomorrow because of transfers, but we had some last minute changes. I ended up with the zone leader today while my trainer went to his new area and so we had some time to call. I am getting a new companion later today. His name is Elder Jordan. He is from somewhere in Utah, and he is going to be the district leader. I’ve been working hard trying to learn our area so I can help him adjust here. Elder Arnold was a great trainer. I will miss him.

This week was definitely better than last week. We did a lot of walking again, but this time we met a ton of new contacts and we have been teaching some awesome people. On March 28th our friend Jose Angel will be baptized. He is 23 years old and is the boyfriend of one the ward members here. She basically laid the law down to him and told him she wouldn’t marry him unless he was a member of the church. He has been taking the discussions and has been to church the past four weeks. One cool thing that happened with Jose is when we taught him about the first vision. We usually get a negative reaction when we teach the first vision to people, but Jose got really excited and said that this was a huge blessing because now we finally know which church is true. I felt the Spirit so strong when he said this and it made me really happy.

We are also teaching an 11 year old and 13 year old. Their parents are members but have not been active in the church for a long time. Well, they have started coming again so they want us to teach their kids. We have a great ward here. I’m afraid I’m going to get fat though. Every time we go to a member’s house they serve us Inca Cola. Everyone here drinks Inca Cola and all of their teeth are rotten. The other day I had Inca Cola five different times. I’m going to have to start telling them no before my teeth fall out. Inca Cola isn’t really cola. It tastes like bubble gum haha.

Mission life is hard and the days are long but I decided the long days just give me more time to learn Spanish haha. Thanks everyone for your support. I hope everyone is doing good. Love you all.

Elder Milne

PS. Ty sounded really good today. I could definitely hear the confidence and courage in his voice. He spoke excitedly about his mission experiences and the people they are teaching. I am amazed at the growth he has already experienced. He is sounding more confident with his Spanish, and the anxiety he expressed last week wasn't there today. My prayers for him are definitely being answered. 

Shoutout to Future Missionaries


Hello Baby son turned full time missionary,

We are excited to hear about another adventurous week in Ica, Peru.
It’s fascinating to see our youngest son engage himself with such devotion and dedication for such a cause. We are proud of you Ty, we know the road has often been difficult, but you have hung in there and risen to the challenge of missionary labor.

We have seen you participate in and witness baptisms already on your mission.  We feel this to be a great blessing for you so early in your mission because it allows you to experience something very similar to when Christ himself was baptized and Heavenly Father sent the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove for all in attendance to see and feel. Baptisms are a special time when the Spirit is extra strong and truths are seared into our hearts. Have you been able to reflect upon the significance of what you witnessed as covenants were made between God and man and a newness of life came forth. Those who are baptized and those who participate in that baptism will always remember the way they felt and the beauty of their surroundings just as the people of Alma in the Book of Mormon did. Mosiah 18:30:

And now it came to pass that all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the waters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to his praise forever.

Ty, we know you are feeling frustrated with the language. Every missionary does for at least six months. Continue to work at it each day, and little by little you’ll start seeing improvement. Carter recommends reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish alongside your English Book of Mormon each day. He felt this made the biggest difference for him. We will continue to pray for you and that you will be blessed with the gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues. We also pray for your safety and happiness each day as well. Today we have included you in our fast. We are here together in New Mexico writing this email and then off to church with the Searle’s. 

We attended the BYU vs UNM baseball game yesterday in Albuquerque. You’ve played on that same field. Dad, 30 years ago, also played UNM in Albuquerque as a BYU Cougar. He never dreamed he would be living and working here 30 years later. It was a fun outing, but BYU didn’t play so well.

Hope you are happy and doing well. We will be together in Bloomfield tomorrow and both of us should be able to talk to you. We can’t wait to see your handsome face!

With Love,

Mom and Dad






Hey Everyone,


I'm sorry this is going to be short. We only have one hour to email and call our friends and family. I look forward to hearing from you each week and hearing how everyone is doing. I just wish I had more time to respond to each of you. Uncle Kirk and Barbara, thank you for your email and love. Diane and Connor Eyre, thank you for the money - Love you guys. Again, thanks everyone for your love, emails, and prayers. I am loving my mission, but I'm not going to lie, this week was tough. We had a lot of cancellations and had to do a lot of walking. Plus the people we are teaching that have accepted baptism are making all kinds of excuses for not coming to church. So we have to figure out how to motivate them to come to church so they can feel the Spirit there and meet the awesome ward members. Then they can be baptized.

I am feeling less stressed about the language. I am learning a little each day. But I am feeling really stressed about this upcoming transfer. My trainer Elder Arnold will likely be moving on, and I will stay here in Ica. I will get a new companion, but I have to show him around all the area and everything. Today for p-day we made copies of the map for our area and I had to make sure I know it. We have great ward members and bishop so if all heck breaks loose I know I can count on them to bail me out - haha!

I also want to give a shout out to my good friends Luke Green and Logan Wilstead. Luke just received his mission call to Milan, Italy. I am so pumped for him. Logan is in the process of getting his papers turned in. They will both be great missionaries. I've already decided that serving a mission is the best decision I've made in my life. It is really hard sometimes but during the hard times I say an extra prayer and the Lord always blesses me to feel better.  Love all of you.

Elder Milne

PS... Ty looks really good (nothing like that missionary glow), but he still tears up every time we talk to him for a few seconds, and then he is fine. This time I asked if it was because he was homesick, and he said no, it was because he is nervous about this transfer, getting a new companion, and not being able to tell the new companion everything he needs to know about the new area. I could feel his stress and recognized his struggle, but my heart smiled a little because I recognized his stress stems from wanting to be prepared and do a good job. This tells me his heart is in the right place instead of back home and that he wants to be a good missionary. We miss Ty like crazy, but there is no place else we'd rather him be right now. Serving a mission is hard, especially when you are in a completely different culture, but I can testify that it is worth the wrestle. The growth and development that takes place is incredible. Thank you all for your love, and please keep Elder Milne in your prayers. I just copied and pasted his email, so if you want to email him directly, his email is: ty.milne@missionary.org

Be Strong and of Good Courage


Letter from Home:

Dear Elder Milne!

First of all, I was sad all week because we didn't get to see your handsome face last week and talk to you! I am so sorry that happened. I was on my daily walk, and I didn't think you would be on that soon, so I didn't check until 30 minutes after you had posted, and then apparently it was too late. You must have had somewhere you needed to be. Anyhow, I will not let that happen today. I will check my email every five minutes - LOL! I hope you have had a wonderful week and that all is well. We sure love and miss you Ty, but we are so grateful for the opportunity you have to serve the Lord in Peru. I have already seen tremendous growth in you, and I pray for your continued growth and development and that Heavenly Father will bless you for your love and service. Your Heavenly Parents also love you very much, and they are pleased with who you are and who you are becoming. They have blessed you with a kind, loving, and gentle heart - a missionary heart. You will lift and bless the lives of many throughout your mission and throughout your life. "Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee... And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed" - Deuteronomy 31:6, 8. Have faith in the Lord and know that He is with you always and in all ways.

This week was a busy week for me with school, but somehow, I made it through. Sometimes, I think I am too old for this school stuff. It hurts my 50-year-old brain. But then, when I am in my therapy sessions with my clients and I see the light of hope go on in their eyes, the stress of school becomes worth it. I just have to hang in there, and follow the advice I just gave you - be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid: for the Lord thy God is with me; he'll not fail me nor forsake! No matter how old we get, we still need the Lord's help to be strong and courageous.

Dad is still working very hard, and is trying to keep his back strong. It has been giving him some trouble, but the Lord is blessing him to hang in there. On March 13th, he will be working in St. George at this new implant office. We are hoping this goes well. He will work a Friday and the following Monday every other week, so we will get to see him a lot more, and if this office does well in St. George, then he can get even more days here and let go of the Bloomfield office. He will then only work at the Celebrate practice in Albuquerque and here.

Dallin was accepted at the University of Oklahoma School of Dentistry. So, it looks like he may be going there. It is a top school, so he is excited, but it is still quite expensive. I'm excited because it is in Oklahoma City and that is where my mission was! When we go visit them I will get to reminisce and eat soft frozen yogurt at Braum's - LOL! Hayley is still working hard as ever. Dallin is so blessed to have her as his wife - not only is she hardworking, she is super sweet!

Carter and Carley seem to be doing well also. They came down on Friday night to watch Pine View and Desert Hills play basketball in a playoff game. PV lost - boo! But afterwards we all went out to dinner. It was fun to sit and laugh with my two older sons and their beautiful wives. 
Well Ty, I can't wait to talk to you today, and I pray all is well. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers all day, every day! Always remember to work hard, play hard, and pray harder! Love you to the moon and back!

Mom

Elder Milne’s Letter:

Hey Everyone,

Well, we had another baptism this week. It was another 9 year old girl. Our mission president has asked us to seek out the less active families and teach them. It is neat to see when we teach the family and their child wants to be baptized that the entire family starts going back to church. I got to perform the baptism, and it was a really cool experience. I wish I had time to write everything, but we have pretty strict rules on how much time we can spend emailing, so forgive me if these are always short.

I am really loving my mission so far, but learning the language is a daily challenge. I work hard at it, but it is still the thing that frustrates me the most. I have been blessed with a really great trainer. I am learning so much from him and he is a huge help. I’m nervous because in two weeks he will be transferred and I will be left to lead this area in Tenguina. This scares me, but one thing’s for sure, my Spanish will definitely get better. I really love the ward members here, and they will help me as well. We are able to do a lot of teaching, and we walk everywhere. It is super hot here right now.
Our friend Abel ghosted us, but that’s how it goes. We have many others we are teaching, and we are meeting new people all the time. I´m learning a lot and can teach a pretty decent lesson 1,3,4. Working on lesson 2 - it´s hard, ​but coming along. I just try to focus on showing love for the people and testifying of Jesus Christ. 

I really love the food here. We have a woman who cooks our lunch every day. It’s mostly rice and some sort of meat, but it always tastes really good. It’s a good thing we walk a lot haha. I hope all of you are doing well. I love and miss you. Thanks for your prayers and support.

Elder Milne
 
P-Day Fun

Unexpected Changes and a visit to the ER!

A lot happened this week... There were a lot of ups and downs. They had a really great discussion with the guy they met in the park last wee...
