The sun has actually been out and spring is just around the corner--hooray for warmer weather!!
Downside? BIRDS. EVERYWHERE. :(
This
past Sunday was one of the best Sundays I have had on my mission!
First of all, Daniel who was baptized in January blessed the Sacrament
for the first time today. That was a great moment. Then a former
investigator by the name of Ron came in with a friend. I did a double
take and then I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the meeting. We
taught him from November to the end of December. He didn't want to
follow some commandments even though he knew the church was true. He
just decided to show up this Sunday :) That was also another amazing
moment. Our ward mission leader texted us right before church and told
us he needed someone to teach Gospel Principles class. Of course we said
yes and it was so awesome! We had 0 time to prepare and were reading
through the lesson for the first time with everyone else. Luckily,
Heavenly Father always helps his missionaries. I've learned how to
follow the Spirit in teaching and I feel like the Holy Ghost just leads
me to what I am supposed to say next. I have worked so hard for
that!
I love being a missionary not only because I get to
help my brothers and sisters but also because I learn so much from all
the people I meet. Yesterday we were talking to a lady on our street for
quite a long time. She talked about all her journeys working with the
UN and giving us all this advice. She was really kind of hostile towards
religion like a lot of people we meet but she loved talking with us.
Some people you just know you are supposed to meet.
There is a very special lady in the ward who is the
best member missionary I have ever met. She is so amazing and goes
teaching with us all the time. She invites everyone she meets to hear
more. Her birthday was this Friday and we made her a delicious chocolate
cake with grasshoppers (like thin mints) in the center and chocolate
frosting. We crushed cocoa pita chips mixed with brown sugar and put it
on top. We surprised her and made sure she had the best birthday ever. I
love these people.
There are so many candle places here it's insane! Like one on every corner!
Many more stories but no more time!
Have a great one,
Sister Zeller
