Well here we go again with another week and
another weekly email.
This week was pretty normal. We’ve been really
trying to expand those we are teaching here in Powell which isn’t going too
well but hey there’s at least one person out here that’s ready to hear about the
gospel!! The only problem is trying to find them haha! All we have to do is rely on the Lord. If we
can do that then it goes from trying to find a needle in a haystack to trying
to find a big bull elk you’ve been tracking for a few months (I think I’ve been
in Montana a while with that analogy). Still have to go out and find it but at
least you know it’s there and it’s not impossible. So we’ve been trying to find that person out
there who wants the gospel in their life.
We will see how that goes!!
We had our zone conference this week as well and
that was freaking awesome! I love zone conferences! The past 3 or 4 zone conferences I’ve been
able to get a lot out of them and this was one of them for sure. I got so much out of this zone conference. It
was really awesome!! The focus was on
the charity and consecration and it was awesome!! I also saw a sister I came out with give her
departing testimony so that was super weird. I was sitting there like NNNNOOOOOO!! It was
so weird!! This sister who came out with
me is going home?!? It’s crazy to me!! I
guess it’s interesting to look back 17 months ago to what kind of a missionary
I was to who I am now. Even just the person I was back then is so different
then who I am currently. The mission
seriously changes you. I don’t think I
realized just how much it would really change me before I left. Like all my social anxiety, totally gone; which
is crazy for me to think about. But I’d
say most of all I feel like the biggest difference from who I was 17 months ago
is I feel like I finally have a solid testimony of who God and Christ are, on
the atonement and repentance, the restoration and the plan of salvation. Just like all these things I personally have a
testimony of it. It’s not my parents
believe this and I grew up believing it so yeah it’s true anymore. Now it’s I know it’s true. I feel like literally
nothing can shake my testimony of the gospel at all. It’s amazing to see and feel this change in my
life. So the change on the mission is real.
I also got roasted from President it was pretty
funny. Basically I got a leather tie
from my last area and I can’t really wear it out and about when I work so I
decided to wear it to zone conference and my mission President comes up to me
and is like, “Elder Zeller it looks like you forgot your tie and had to use
your belt.” Haha it was great! Hahahahaha
both President and sister Wadsworth were giving me crap on my tie and it was
funny. I actually got a random tie from Jonathan Christensen so I was able to
switch into that one and they were both relieved.
Church was so awesome!! I love church and the
testimonies that were born on Sunday were so good!! I loved it all!! Anyway
that’s my week!! I was able to play some basketball today so that was a blast.
I took a selfie so my mom wouldn’t get mad at me for not having pics in this
email. lol love y’all!!
Love,
Elder Zeller
