Wonderful Smells and Blessings!

Dear my "Peeps!" (Yup I called all of you a yummy Marshmallow treat they hand out on Easter) 

This week has been a joy and wondrous time here in the land of Greenwich NY. Let's start at the beginning of this week shall we?

This week we got the awesome chance to move into our new apartment for the first 3 days of this week. On Monday, we did as much P-day things as we could with packing, dinner appointments, and other service opportunities through out the day. On Tuesday we finished packing everything in the morning, went and had district meeting, and then spent the rest of the day moving into our new apartment as well as cleaning the old one so that we could get our security deposit back from the land lord. On Wednesday, we finished unpacking, arranging and finishing our P-day activities that we didn't have time for on Monday. Talk about a busy three days! haha

On Thursday, We got to have a Semi-Normal day. We went and helped a member with some yard work all that morning (cause he is on disability) and he fed us an amazing lunch afterwards! Later that day we met with a couple people and got a phone call to go on splits with a member of the Branch Council to a Part member/Less active family to do some service. He told us on the phone, "Make sure you wear grubbies and some mud shoes!" When we met him at the church building he gave us both boots to wear and off we went. When we got the members home, we realized that we were now on a dairy farm! Yup, lots and lots and lots of mud, cows, poop, and everything else you could ever imagine! Elder Wilson and I got to help feed the calfs that were born only a week prior to our arrival that day. We also got to help with the Milking process a little bit which was really cool! Needless to say I can now say that I have indeed feed a baby cow, and have milked a cow on my mission and for the first time in my life! Pretty cool huh? Sadly to say, it was dark so we don't have any of pictures of the cows but maybe next we go and visit we will take pictures!

The rest of this week has been pretty normal when it comes to missionary work! We picked up a new investigator and got him with a soft baptismal date (which means he said yes to baptism but doesn't have a date yet.) I wanna thank the people who have started sending out B-Day presents already! 

I love you all and hope that things will be as awesome as they can be! 

Love,
Elder Zenger
