Broadcast of the Century!!!

Dear Family, Friends, and all others whom read this message.

This past week, here in the New York Utica Mission, in Greenwich New York, has been amazing! We have recently received a Branch Mission Leader for our Branch here in Greenwich which has been a major blessing! This Branch hasn't had a Branch Mission Leader in a long time, let alone one that has been called that was going to actually stay around for a long time. 

Which now leads into the amazing experience we had at the "Broadcast of the Century!" From Salt Lake city on Sunday afternoon! (evening for us here in the east) It was such an amazing broadcast we had! I felt the spirit strongly and couldn't help but to get teary eyed during the broadcast. At the end of the Broadcast, Our new Branch Mission Leader, and Branch President, were both in tears. The Branch President Came over to my companion and I as well as our new Branch Mission Leader and said to us with a smile on his face saying, " We have a lot of work to do." What an influence this broadcast has had on just our little branch here in Greenwich. I cannot imagine the impact it had on people through out the world! 

Earlier this week we had the wonderful opportunity to have a ZTM or Zone Training Meeting with our entire zone this month. We were trained on ways we get our branch involved in helping us find people to teach and how they can come with us to our lessons with investigators as well as when we go see Less Active members. Because of Miles, we were instructed to ride up with the Glensfalls Elders to ZTM, They stayed the night at our apartment and we left in the morning to the meeting all the way down in Albany. On the way home from ZTM, We noticed that Elder Moosman (Driver) was sweating bullets and driving kinda funny. We asked him if he was ok and if there was anything wrong, he said no he was ok. We heard a constant vibration coming from his pocket. We asked him what that was, he said it was his insalen pump telling him he was out of insalen for his diabetes. We asked him how long he had been out of it, he said it was out half way through the training which was 3hrs long! We knew immediately that was his problem and why he was driving funny. Since I was the only other person in the car that had a tiwi card and could drive, we made him pull over into a parking lot so that way we could get him something to eat and drink ASAP. Luckily the place he pulled over at, was a BBQ place that just opened! It was such an interesting thing to watch Elder Moosman, (who by now is dripping in sweat and is loosing energy fast) walk to the restaurant as his companion (Elder Moore) and I were under each arm helping him walk. We were greatly blessed that we got him food and sugar just in time anything brutal happened, and that we were safe and didn't die form his driving on the way home. 

That was my epic story for you all this week! haha Hope you all are doing well and that the lord is blessing you and your families where ever you are! I sadly don't have pictures this week of anything and will talk to you all next week on monday! 

Love,
Elder Zenger
