The people of Dover continue to amaze me!

Bonjour!!! So many wonderful people that I love so dearly. Here is a list of them that we saw this week.

 There is a lovely lady named Liz who lives here in Dover. She is in her early 20's and has been a member for just less than a year. She is inspiring! The only member in her family and in her college. She asked us to teach her and it has been amazing to so her growth and progression. We spent a lot of our Pday with her today. She made us lunch and gave us a tour of the college. She is such a light to those around her and she has no idea!

Jesse is father we saw this week who is not active in the church. He is married to a wonderful born again Christian lady and they have a little boy. They invited us over for dinner and we were able to have an amazing conversation about our Heavenly Father and his love for all of us. I feel the importance of uniting with those who believe in Christ especially in this day and age. The spirit was so strong as we shared our beliefs. Hopefully we will see them again soon.

Tabaris & Sharnette are a part-member family. Tabaris stands at about 6"7 and was a convert at a young age. Sharnette has some reservations for the church but still let us come and teach them. She was very stand off-ish as the lesson began and wouldn't even look at us. I love opportunities like this to exercise my faith and see the spirit soften her heart. We started off with singing them a song which always brings the spirit. She relaxed a little. I felt the prompting to bare testimony of God's love for us and the spirit was even stronger. We taught them the restoration and asked her what was going through her head. She finally opened up and began to pour out her concerns and beliefs to us as she cried. The spirit truly touched her heart and she agreed to read the Book of Mormon and have us back this week. I love being a missionary. I know none of that miracle happened because of me but because of the spirit. I'm just lucky enough to be a part of this great work.

The Relief Society councilor asked us to give the lesson this past Sunday in Relief Society. We gladly excepted and were assigned to ch.10 from the Joseph Fielding Smith book: Our Search for Truth. I'm not sure why but I got a little nervous before the lesson and prayed for the words to help the ladies in some way. Of course, he helped out a lot and the lesson went so well. The women in this ward are simply remarkable and everyone participated. The Spirit filled the room and did I mention I love being a missionary? For the first time in my life I LOVE to teach and especially to testify. 

The last person I want to mention is a recent convert of about 6 months named Foster. He is from Ghana and he and his wife are the cutest thing. As we sat in Gospel Principles talking about our loving Heavenly Father the teacher asked the question: "Who is the happiest person in the Universe?". Foster, who doesn't talk much, sincerely explained "I am". Everyone kind of laughed but he was completely serious. He went on to say ", I have the gospel in my life and my family. What more could I want?". It was the most sincere comment and made us all step back for a second. I want to invite you all to step back and see the beauty in your life. We have the gospel and our families. What more could we want?

I love you all and encourage you to be the happiest person in the universe,

Love Sister Zeller
