Dear Family and Friends,
This past week has been an amazing week for both me and my companion! We
has so many wonderful things happen that it just has filled my heart with joy
the things we have seen, witnessed, felt, and did to help the people we have
been called here to serve and help!
This past week we had some pretty strong thunder and wind storms that
brought A TON of rain! We went on splits with a member of the Branch Presidency
last week on Wednesday to see a part member family on their dairy farm to see if
there was anything we could do to help out. They told us since they moved into
the new barn that they did milking differently and it only takes 2 people to do
the milking this time. They did tell us however that we could help out at the
new place they are moving into with the Pudding and painting the walls. So we
went up to their new home with their son Brian to the new house. On the way, we
could see all the damage the storm that was passing through was doing to some of
the power lines and trees. We saw 1 power line that fell and was in the middle
of the street, and several trees and tree branches that were in the street as
well. As soon as we got to their new home, we made sure everything was ok and
nothing was damaged. Luckily nothing was hurt but they were out of power for a
little bit, so we couldn't paint that night. On the way back to the barn, we all
got out and moved as many trees, and tree branches as we could out of the middle
of the road so that cars could pass by with ease. It was amazing to see what
kind of damage a small storm could do to a little farming village.
With that storm, we had a member invite us over to his home to help him
with a few things. One of those things, was chopping down a 30-40 ft. tree he
had in his back yard that made him a little nervous after the storm that if he
didn't cut it down now, that it could someday fall on to his home. So we got to
work and chopped down this HUGE pine tree and watched it as it fell and shook
the ground! It hit the grown so hard, that some of the branches were dug so into
the ground, Bro. Pearson (the Member) had to cut the branch at ground level so
that we didn't hurt ourselves trying to get it out of the ground. My companion
did indeed take pictures and I will get them form him later this week and will
send them ASAP :)
We also picked up a new investigator this week who is married to a member.
We had our first lesson with him this last saturday and it went pretty well! We
even got a member who is a family member as well to come over and sit in and
help us with the lesson.
This past week has been a great week of spiritual food and of some great
physical service we were able to give to a lot of people. I have to say being a
missionary is one of the best things I could ever be doing right now and I am so
blessed that I have that opportunity to be out here at this time doing the lords
work for his children in this part of the world.
I love you all and hope you have an amazing week this up coming week!
Always keep in mind that things do happen for a reason, and the the lord loves
you no matter what.
Love,
Elder Zenger
