Where is your treasure?

What a week, what a week.....week of miracles!

 

In all my missionary service I have never been so busy! We have appointments all day everyday and it is simply amazing. I am called to teach and that is exactly what I have been doing. So many funny things happen everyday so I thought I would share a few!

 

We do a bible study at an assisted living center every Sunday and there is always something funny that happens. You can count on it. This time we taught about the 10 lepers from Luke 17 and helped them understand how many blessings they have been given. They are all a little nuts. While we were teaching one of the ladies kept randomly asking if anyone had seen her shoes and she kept saying she lost them. La Vern is the only one in the group who hasn't lost her marbles and she kept saying "No Betty you didn't lose your shoes the nurse has them". Man, I just love them.

 

We are teaching a guy named Paco who speaks very little English but loves talking about God. Paco is from Peru and sinse he doesn't speak a lot of English he kind of has to act out what he is trying to say. He likes to talk a lot and everytime one of us would talk he would start talking about who knows what in Spanglish.  At one point he was talking about how all the teenagers do drugs and then Sister Earl said "Paco, we don't do drugs." Then he said "Ooooooh!" and looked really relieved. Aparently he though we did drugs! hahah.

 

There is a very sweet fellow named Brother Crutiss who lives an a different assisted living center. He ios about 83 and intently listens to every word you say and really analyzes you. About half way through our lesson he looks at me and says: "You can be trouble. You are a good girl, yous all are (referring to my companions).. but you(me) can be trouble". we laughed a little then continued and as we were leaving he held my handshake a little longer and said" now you stay out of trouble".

Earlier with the same brother Sister Earl tripped on her shoe a little and he said "are you tipsy?" haha. I love that man.

 

On a more serious note.

Church this Sunday was so filled with the Spirit. There was a young couple who spoke named the Waters. Sister Waters is from Austrailia :) She spoke about the talk titled:" Where Your Treasure Is". She did really well and asked the question --> Write down a list of things that are most important to you. What are you doing each day to build or contribute to those things? It really struck me. Most people would name things that are most important to them like God, family, friends, etc. Well that is great. Then the next question of what you do each day to build or contribute to those things is the real kicker. I encourage all of you to find ways to focus on your priorities and let all the little things that don't matter fall to the side.

 

This week was very rewarding. We have continued to teach our investigators Rich (who is getting baptized on Aug 10), Keith, and Jeff. They are all amazing!!! Rich is so solid and just understands then lives whatever we teach him. He knows everything  is true and he is at church every Sunday. We see them all on a daily basis which has never happened before. I love Milford, PA!

Sister Simmons and Sister Earl are the bees knees! We all get along so well and we have a great desire to be obedient and work hard. We love to laugh! You really have to sometimes as a missionary.

 

Love you all and have a grrrrrrreat week,

Sister Zeller
