Watch out! Tornado!!!!

What a packed full week. I'm not sure really where to begin!

Last Monday about this time Sister Jolley got a frightening email about her Nephew who almost suffocated. She was so distraught. I suppose you would call them my *motherly instincts* kicked in and tried to comfort her for the rest of the day. She got a blessing from the zone leaders that night which helped a little. It's a little harder when your family doesn't tell you the whole story and you have no way to find out what's actually going on. I love her to death and we really learned the power of prayer. 

One of the Sisters in our town home finished her mission today. Mission Accomplished!  I made them all French toast that morning, not to brag but it was super delicious. We made her a cute little banner with funny quotes and tender messages. She loved it and we totally surprised her.She is the most adorable thing from San Francisco. She will be missed.

Member Referrals are where it's at! We got one this past week and the member brought her to church. She loved it and had us over on Tuesday to teach her. We taught Ieshia the restoration and she started crying right at the beginning. She was crying tears of joy because this is what she had been looking for. She accepted our invitation to baptism and she is so excited. 

Another miracle: We followed the spirit to this house and met a lady who was just about to step out of the door. She asked if we had something we could leave with her so we gave her a pamphlet. We stopped by so many times after that to get an appointment. This Wednesday when I was on an exchange with the STL we drove by to see if they were there and didn't see them so we kept driving. The thought popped into mind "what if she was home and I missed this opportunity?". So I popped a Loui (as sister Jolley would say) and knocked on her door. She was home and it was her day off! Thank goodness for the spirit! We taught her the restoration and she was so prepared and interested! We invited her to be baptized and she said she would be when she knew it was true. The only thing is her husband is deployed in Kuwait and won't be back for a number of months. We just got a text from her today saying she wanted to wait until he got home to learn more. They will totally get baptized!

Now for the grand finale! 

Thursday we were planning for the next week at the church when it started to rain super hard. Then we heard some lightning and I dragged Sis. Jolley outside because I think lightning storms are really cool and I wanted to see. Then the Elder's from the other ward came in and said "oh good. You Sisters are already here" and kept walking to a different room. We were a little confused. When we finished planning and the rain stopped we saw Bishop Harrison. He asked if we were okay and we said yes a little confused. He began to say that there had been a TORNADO in our area! Two houses down the road had been demolished because there car was moved on top of their homes! 12 in total for the city of Dover. We could not believe it. We had no idea! hahah a couple got some injuries but they are okay now. Crazy stuff!

Crazy crazy week full of miracles and growth! I love being a missionary.

Love you all and remember to follow the spirit without delay. As we do this God will truly know our love for him and his children.

GOD BLESS AMERICA! Happy Memorial Day!

love,

Sister Zeller
