Hello Again

Hello Again-

My companion's name is Elder Jensen. It's only been a week and a half I have been here in this area 2 weeks on Tuesday, I am getting used to the change, we do have investigators, but I have only been able to meet 2 of them and they are a couple who have no religious backgrounds. But we have been doing a lot of walking lately because we have absolutely no miles to use this month for the car so we have no choice. The other day we walked up and down what is called "Boswell Hill" like 4 different times from top to bottom and went in 5 circles in 2 different neighborhoods. It was one heck of a walk! haha But we did get to meet a couple that invited us back and hopefully we can teach them! I am not senior companion, I am Junior companion again and Elder Jensen has been here for 4 months before I got here. We have a ward, which is kinda small but our building is the stake house and its design is called the Legacy. You should look it up, its so freakin cool! I would also like you to try an make an email, or put this one as the community email because I have no time nor pictures to do it and so yeah....I hope that things are going well and continue to do so!

Transfers!!

Dear All Family and Friends,

As you have noticed, I have did not send out an email last week. I do have a reason for it, Last week was transfers as you know and they moved back transfers from wednesday to tuesday. Since Monday was a holiday, everything was closed so I didn't get a chance to email because I did indeed get transferred. I did find out though at transfers that President did send out a text to everyone that he gave us permission to use members computers to email on monday, and we never got the text which didn't please me to much... haha oh well, all is well! 

So I am now in a place called Owego, with my new companion Elder Jensen! I have now been on every boarder of the mission except up north by Canada! Which I hope doesn't happen (if it happens) during winter. We have been so busy this past week with teaching, getting to know members and what not that I am just blown away that it is already monday! 0.0 I will make a more detailed email next week but we have stuff to do and I just got done emailing all yalls (before I wrote and sent this) which was about 20 emails.....I feel skilled haha just kidding, but I do have pictures from when I left Greenwich and will send them with this email if I can! I love you all and hope that the Lord will bless you all this up coming week! 

Love,

Elder Zenger

Peace, Comfort, and Guidance through the Lord's Servants

My Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been an incredible week for me personally and my spirit is full with love, comfort, peace, and assurance. I defiantly feel like a new person, a new man, and a new servant of the Lord.

This past weekend we had the 183rd Annual General Conference, where we got to hear from Prophets, seers, and revelators in this dispensation. What a blessing it has been to be able to hear from these men who have been called of God to speak to us the things which the Lord has need us to hear. I have been so uplifted in all the things which the speakers in General Conference have spoken about. I have been uplifted, to a point where words cannot truly describe. I hope that all of you who have either missed parts of conference, watched only a few sessions, or didn't get to hear or watch any of it, to go online and watch, listen, and read the things which the Lord have need us to hear at this time through his servants which he has truly called and ordained. For the Lord has said to the prophet Joseph Smith in a revelation in the Doctrine and Covenants,"For whether it be my voice, or the voice of my servants, it is the same." When Elder David A. Bednar came to our mission at the beginning of this year, an Elder asked him a question on what we should do when to prepare for conference, he said, (this is not a direct quotation) "Never write down anything anyone says at the pulpit. When you do so, you are making Large Plates that won't mean anything to you in month or a year from now. Instead write down what the spirit tells to you. When you do this you are making Small Plates in which you are writing down things that the spirit prompts you to write down during those talks." By taking his advice this General Conference, I have indeed felt more engaged in what the speaker had to say and I found myself looking for what the spirit had to teach me about what the person was saying, and it had more meaning to me. I know and can testify, that as you read, ponder, and apply the things which you have read, listened to, or watched this conference, and apply them into our daily lives, that we can and will become closer to our father in heaven, and it will become easier to stay on the path of righteousness we have so graciously placed our feet upon. I promise you that the Lord lives, and that he wants to do all he can to help you, to let you know that he loves you, and that he is there at anytime that you need him, even in the times you think you don't need him. 

I love you all and hope that this week will bring you all happiness, joy, and peace, as you go about  your daily lives doing the things which you do. I love you all and may be the Lord bless you and your families for ever and ever.

Love,

Elder Zenger
