Two for One!!!

1/9/2017

Hey everyone!! This week has been awesome!!  All last week I was praying and I was like, "please let next week be better. Please!" And you won't believe what happened!! It was!! J  I kid you not, in the first three days we had more lessons then we had the entire last two weeks put together!  And we even started doing splits
twice a week instead of just once!!  The work is doing so good and I'm loving every second of it!  I found myself thinking less and less of home this week and more and more about the work.  It was honestly sooooo cool and I'm seeing so many miracles!! We started out the week having more lessons than the previous two weeks combined!!  It was so awesome!  Theeeeeen Elder Bozue got a bit sick 😅 so we were kind of stuck in our apartment for most of the week trying to get him feeling better.  He would start feeling better than it would get worse and he couldn't sleep for very long.  

Anyway later this week we had the opportunity to go up to Browning for a baptism but it didn't end up happening which is ok!  You know everyone needs to do things at their own time you know what I mean??  I've been able to see the hand of the Lord during this week through inspiration I've received and being able to purify myself and make myself a greater missionary. But the sweetest miracle I saw this week was on Sunday…

We go to church and this lady shows up and I have never seen her before, but I'm kinda new so that happens every once in a while.  So I didn't think anything of it so I just kinda sat there and she walks up to bear her testimony and she shares her story as to why she came to church.  She had been praying for help and her visiting teachers just happened to come by.  They were able to help her when she needed it most!!  How cool is that!?!  She's pretty excited to be coming back to church and she's hoping to get a patriarchal blessing soon but she’s taking one step at a time.  Next we had a lesson in gospel principles and it was so great and she was just able to talk and meet a lot of members.  It was a sweet thing to happen.

Sometimes I don’t think we realize that the little things we do can have the greatest impact on others and the ripple effect can be great.  Something as simple as visiting teachers going to visit someone changed her life for the better. 

I love it out here so much and I love the people!! They are seriously the best!! I can honestly say this is the best ward I've served in!! No doubt in my mind... now the truth is it may be the ONLY ward I've served in but the best nonetheless!!
  
I love all you guys and I hope everything is going alright!! Talk to you next week!!

Hey everyone!! This week has been soooo solid!!

So a few things… on Thursday we had a zone conference with the two zones up here and it was super awesome!!  They talked about how we can use Facebook and members in missionary work (at least that's what I got out of itJ).  It was super cool to see different ways Facebook can be used.

Then on Friday we had exchanges where I went with one of my zone leaders and worked in his area and I learned sooooo much about my abilities as a missionary.  I also learned about a lot of ways that I can improve.  I mean there is always room for improvement and I definitely can use some improvement!!  I was able to teach a lot of really cool people.  And meanwhile over in my area they committed one of our investigators to baptism!!  It's amazing how the spirit is able to work.

Then on Sunday we had a ton of people at church and it was so awesome to see them there!!  And in one of the lessons we talked about using Facebook and social media to flood the earth and I have a super strong testimony of using Facebook now and other forms of social media to hasten the workJ  It's super awesome!!  Something we've done when we go over to members houses is we have them go through their friends list on Facebook and go through and if they feel inspired to share something with a certain individual then do it!  Share a Mormon message or a Mormon ad or something.  So I guess that I would challenge some of you guys to do the same or even just go check out some of the Mormon messages out there, they are so awesome!! I love all you guys so much!!

Talk to you next week!
Love,
Elder Zeller
