Serving in the South!

January 19, 2015

Hello!

I swear I was just emailing 2 days ago.

I love being a missionary!!!! Absolutely love it :) Saturday night a

yw leader asked us to if we could teach the lesson on Sunday. Of

course, we said yes. The lesson was on Jesus Christ. Since we didn't

have much time to prepare we really had to rely on the guidance of the

spirit. It was so fulfilling to be able to bare witness of Christ's

divinity to those young women ( plus, I put in a good plug for going

on a mission). We centred the lesson on the atonement and used this

visual to help explain what Christ really did 

for us. It worked out

very well.

I know if we do our part in preparing the best we can the spirit will

lead the way. I love being an instrument in the hands of the Lord.

Takes practice and faith.

In this area everything is so spread out. We have a certain mileage

limitation for every month. Things are getting crazy now that we have

to travel all the way down to Dover for church. I feel like half the

week we spent driving. One day we went over 100 miles!

The amazing lady Ann from last week didn't work out to week this

Saturday. She kind of avoided us and went up stairs as we were talking

to Sylvia. That was very disappointing. Then we had to drop Sylvia

because she would not listen to anything we said.

We got a referral from the a Elders serving in the zone above us. Her

name is Abby and she lives all the way out in Earleville, Maryland.

They met her on a Sunday when she walked into church from the street

randomly. She went for about a month until someone finally figured out

she wasn't a member. Haha. They finally handed her off to us and we

got to meet with her. She is super open! She is a Buddhist at this

point but is open to the idea of being baptized. We are seeing her on

Tuesday with our Relief Society President.

I still really enjoy  getting to see my Dover family at church! I got

to see a few more familiar faces yesterday.

Hey! Guess what I Learned this week!? The northern boarder of our area

is also the Mason-Dixon Line. I'm serving in the South! Haha.

Love y'all,

Sister Zeller
