I've been out for over 2 months!
I
am so happy! Christmas is the best and I am having a blast! I think I
have gotten more presents on my mission than any other year at home. The
ward has definitely
shown us some love. We got two huge boxes from the ward--from toilet paper
to fuzzy socks. (Wahoo fuzzy socks!) Thank you to everyone who sent me
Christmas cards and letters :) Shout out to the Hicks family for the
package!
There was a storm on Tuesday and the roads were
terrible. We kept sliding around and we saw like three accidents. We had to
chill at a members house for a few hours until it was safe for us to go
out again. Good thing I was driving. (Just kidding, I have barely any
experience driving in snow.)
We had our Christmas conference on Thursday and it
was so much fun! President let us watch the new movie Ephraim's Rescue
and it was really great. Except for the part when they kissed......that
was super awkward. Can you tell I'm a missionary? Ha ha. There was a
talent show after the movie and I love these missionaries more than
sugar cookies--and I loooove sugar cookies. Sister Bennett and I got up
and shared our "tire shop" story from last week's letter and taught
everyone Silent Night in Sign language.
Side story: Every Wednesday we have a conference call with the
president and all the missionaries. This particular Wednesday we didn't
get on the call because we lost service. President calls on different
missionaries to say prayers or answer questions. We never get called on
but the one time we aren't on he calls on us. He wanted us to share our
cool tire shop story with the whole mission. Whoops!
We met and taught a lot of cool people this week for
a total of 31 lessons. It was a great week and now it's almost
Christmas. It just keeps getting better. I love celebrating Christ's
birthday the way He would want me to--sharing his gospel to our brothers
and sisters to help them feel His love. Best job ever!
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and remember the reason for the season.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Sister Martha Zeller

The Christmas talent show. This was one of the best. The 12 days of
Christmas missionary style."On the first day of Christmas my mission
gave to me - a really strong testimony!"
