Zion readies us to see the Savior come again

Dear mi familia,

Another wonderful week has passed here in the great Ohio Columbus mission-- It seems like I turn around once and already it's a new week. Can we please slow down! I don't appreciate time passing so quickly!!

SUPER exciting news-- Brenda and Tyson came to church yesterday!! They felt the spirit intensely, and we're still working towards the 27th of November for a baptism- we had a lesson with them Friday afternoon and Tyson received a blessing to help him with his Word of Wisdom struggles and we told them that they can't be hot and cold anymore. They're either progressing towards making baptismal covenants or they're not. They're either on the Lord's side or they're not. There is no grey area in the Lord's kingdom. They agreed and have been on fire ever since! We're meeting with them tomorrow night and then they'll be coming to the Book of Mormon class we teach Wednesday night... We'll meet with them Saturday after we return from our sister's sleepover at the mission home and then they'll be able to be fed spiritually at Stake conference on Sunday! I know the Lord loves them and if I do my job right, they will show the Lord how much they love Him back!

We also had an amazing opportunity to talk to a less active sister who wants to come back to church... There is so much rescuing to be done. Sometimes we need to be creative in how we do it, but it must be done and it it priceless work.

It is amazing to me how willing the members here are to help out each other. There are no 'clicks' really in our ward-- its nice! The members are also so willing to come help us teach or provide us with anything else we may need. It occurs to me that this is what Zion is. Zion is unity and being of one purpose. Our purpose is to prepare each other to see the Savior again and I am so grateful I have the opportunity to see Zion in action!

The gospel is true. Being a missionary is amazing. Go and do some missionary work in your corner of the world <3

Love, Sister Chelsea LeSueur
