Anyways, this week was crazy like all the other ones. First of all, and
unfortunately, I learned how terrible I am at driving in the snow on
Tuesday. Took a corner too fast in a snow storm and slid right into a
big pile of snow. We were fine but I am pretty paranoid now. No more
driving for me!
One of the families we are
teaching came to church on Sunday. We had a lesson previously that
involved us being pretty bold but loving. We asked them straight up if
they wanted to continue with the lessons and come to church. They said
yes (miracle in itself) and at church they stayed for two hours. On top
of that, the ward swarmed them and made them feel so welcome. I wish I
could have seen my face because I could not stop beaming!
We see so many miracles
everyday and President Anderson replied to my letter last week and
referred to us as the "miracle zone." Love that guy!
I
learned so much about being humble this week. Let's just say I would
way rather be humble than be compelled to be humble. Pride is the worst!
Miracle time:
We
had a full day and our zone focus this week was new investigators. We
still needed 1 more and we had no idea where to go. We decided to stop
by Malcolm's (an appointment that fell through a few days prior). We
knocked on the door and no one answered. We heard some noise upstairs
and decided to get back in the car because he wasn't home. I have really
been striving to recognize random thoughts and acting on them. I had
the thought while knocking to go to the apartment above and knock. I
quickly shrugged it off for some reason and right before we got in the
car I said "Wait, I just had a random thought!" It took me a second to
realize that I had had a random thought. We ran up and knocked on the
door. This guy answered while he was on the phone and he had the
strangest look on his face. We kind of laughed and told him who we were.
He said "Oh, okay. Mom! Come get the door!" Then he said to us "she
goes to church and
stuff." She gladly let us in and we got a new investigator! I love
random thoughts! The more you listen and act, the more you get.
New Years Resolution: I will be selfless this year.
I
can't wait for the year of no fear. I can't wait to become more like my Savior by developing His attributes. The more I become like Him the
more I love Him. Have an awesome week everyone! Congrats to Emma Tippery
on submitting her papers! Best decision of your life! You won't regret
it! Tyler Owens! There is a girl in my ward who is friends with Stephen
Keith (your mission buddy, right?)
I love you all!
until next week (if I'm not frozen -20 degrees tomorrow),
Sister Zeller
