This past week has been a week of blessings and craziness! Which is why
this letter, email, post, what ever you wanna call it is a little later than
usual haha
This past week we had to go down and spend time at Transfers. Not because
one of us was leaving, but we had to drive all the way down to Utica to get a
brand new car! YEAH! No more old, beat up, Missionary Abused 2011 Chev. Malibu!
We got to not only spend time with everyone who was at transfers, but we got to
drive home our new 2013 Toyota Corolla! WOOO! It's like driving a freaking
Go-Kart in that thing! haha It's pretty sweet! I also got to see my "Missionary
Father" Elder Evans at transfers, and got to hear Sister Ross's Departing
Testimony as she, 2 other Sisters and 2 other Elders gave advice, and shared
their Testimonies the as they said good-bye for now before they traveled home
the next morning. It was sad to see them go and to be able to say see ya later
to others as they went to their new areas, but we all know that this is where
the Lord needs us at this time with the people we are assigned with.
We also saw an amazing amount of blessing happen for us in our area this
past week as well! Last week we were very sad and discouraged with the small
amount of people we could see and that all our appointments fell through. As we
stayed faithful and true, we were greatly blessed with many people to see and
teach this past week as well as some really good people we can start teaching
really soon! Its so awesome! I defiantly learned that I need to wait for the
Lord and his timing and not wanting it now when I don't need it now.
The past couple days have been the craziest days of them all this past
week! We are moving into our new apartment today (tuesday 7/30/13) and so we
have been helping the members (who are renting us the new apartment) remodel,
paint, clean, and prep the apartment so that we could move in and not have to
worry about anything. We also have been cleaning, packing, and throwing away a
lot of things in our apartment so that way we can move right after district
meeting today and not have to worry about it. We have been so crazy busy and
rushing around (which is really awesome by the way) we actually have no food
(cause we packed it all) or time to eat cause we have been so busy! We were
truly great full for the members yesterday who after we got done doing final
things to our apartment yesterday, took us out to Subway for what they thought
was Lunch for us at 1pm, when really that was our breakfast! haha Remember,
starving is the wrong way you loose wait kids, DON'T DO IT! haha plus your body
will hate you for it as mine has haha
Dispite all the work we have been doing and all the service and craziness,
I lay in my bed each night, soar, aching, exhausted, with a smile on my face
thinking to myself, "We did so much good today and each second was worth it!" I
know that as we look at things with the thought of No one else's standards
matter but the Lords, and the Lords standard, is for you to do your best and
give everything you've got! and no matter the out come, no matter what any one
else tells you, he is sitting there with a smile on his face saying "You did
well, my great and faithful servant."
I love you all and am sorry there is no pictures this week but I will try
and take pictures when and if I can this up coming week! I hope you all are
doing well, that your families are doing well, that your staying faithful, and
that you all know that no matter what you do, say or think, it's never to late,
the Lord loves you no matter what and will forgive you if you are also willing
to forgive yourself.
Love,
Elder Anthony Zenger
