Memorial Day

Dear Family, Friends, and the rest of you on the interweb!

I do indeed have my camera back this week! This is also a Tuesday email because yesterday was memorial day and everything in the Village of Greenwich was closed. (except for the laundry mat which we were truly greatful for) We did have an awesome stake/zone Activity yesterday! We had a huge picnic, and plenty of sports and activities to play! I did get a little sun burnt.....but it has turned or is turning into a nice tan very quickly ;) haha 

NEWS FLASH! 

There has been a famin in the land of the Greenwich Elders! A famin of food! Well sorta not really haha we both realized that we have already run out of money for the rest of the month. (thank goodness this week is the end of the month) We do have food to eat. Just not too much of it and no meat haha we do have meal appointments this week so we have been blessed for that. :) 

MISSIONARY WORK:

This week for Missionary work we have been truly blessed to see people prepared for the gospel! We have picked up 3 new investigators this past week and we are super excited to teach them all! They are so truly prepared and the Branch is on top of things like Donkey Kong! ( I don't think I used that phrase right haha)  Other than that, we have been busy trying people and have been seeing as many Less Active people as we can! The lord has truly blessed us and the lives of others this week that we are now starting to notice.

STUDY JOURNAL OF THE WEEK:

The past couple weeks I have been studying some of my favorite talks given in our last general conference. The talk I studied last week was Pres. Uchtdorf's talk titled, " The Hope of Gods Light" as well as Elder Hollands talk titled, "Lord, I Believe." 

By re-reading these talks, taking new notes on them, highlighting certain things, and then comparing my notes I took when I watched general conference with my new notes. I was amazed how similar they were. I have never taken notes the same way ever since we had that all mission conference with Elder Bednar when he told us boldly, " Don't ever write things from what people say here at the pulpit. Write the things down that come to your heart and what the spirit tells you to write down." My notes were almost identical and my chest was filled with the spirit giving me a confirmation that this is what I needed to know and to study.

Again I am truly sorry that this is yet another short email I am sending this week. I am trying to do what I can in remembering/writing down what has happened this week as well trying to remember to write in my journal every day. (which sadly hasn't happend once this past week.) I am going to try and do better I promise! 

I love you all and thank you all for all your support and prayers. I pray for all of you daily.

Much love and blessings,

 

Elder Zenger
