Okay so this week has been a little crazy! Both my Companion and I seemed to take turns feeling sick. First with me still getting over my huge reaction to only find out the day before thanksgiving that there is a high possibility of my being high hypoglycemic. So that means a little change in diet. But no more desserts. Unless I really want to feel sick afterwards. which is not very fun I must tell you. But I get to snack now instead of having meals! A little weird but I feel so much better now. okay so somehow my time always seem to run short when I come to writing the family e-mail. I shall have to work on that. Sorry. but this week with both of us feeling slightly under the weather we were able to update the area book and start going through that phone and calling all the numbers that we do not know. which was a great thing to do. because we are both being transferred out of the area. I am going back down to warden. and Sister Mierow is going over to the Spokane Valley. My first area. It is going to be an interesting transfer but it will be great. My new companion is going to be Hermana Sanchez from Mexico so my Spanish is going to be sorely tested. But I know that God has called me to serve there once more and I will follow his will and magnify my call! Well love you all and hope all is well. Love, Hermana Ziegler

This week has been great! So much learned and I have seen the power of God in my live. So on Saturday my Body decided to have a really extreme reaction to some sugar that I ate. so i am under orders from Sister Mullen to stay away for awhile. So that means no desserts on thanksgiving (Darn) Well Some of the brethren in the ward came over and gave me a blessing. What a testament of God's love for me. I just felt so full of love that I could barely hold it in. It was amazing. So you don't have to worry I am doing so much better now. But the week has been great. We have been trying to come up with different finding Ideas. so we will see if they work by the end of the week. We are trying to find some more people. and to get the members involved with the people we are teaching. because they are great! We are teaching a family that is amazing. their 6 yr-old asks the darnedest questions. He keeps asking us where God came from and how he became God. Every time we try and tell He'll have to wait and ask him. but every time he asks the same question and it get deeper every time. Sorry this e-mail is short but I don't have much time today Sorry I'll write more next week! Thank you so much for everything you do for me. Love you all, Hermana Ziegler

Sorry about the short e-mail last week. we were at the temple and only had a short time before we were supposed to be leaving. We though we would be back in time to e-mail to our families more and write to our mission president. But we got back to late and the library was closed. So sorry about how short it was. But I will write about last week and this week if that is alright. First last week was great and interesting. We had some great lessons, but not very many people who are actually progressing. We also got a call Monday morning telling us that a sister in the mission had to leave on medical leave from the mission and that Sister Probst would go take her place and that I would become senior and my new companion would be Sister Mierow. That was the beginning of a very interesting day. We went to knock on a farm house and they had a Dog that was barking its head off and acting like it was going to attack Sister Probst so I called it and started playing with it. well..... It decided that my arm and sweater would be a great toy. so it proceeded to drag me around the yard like a rag doll. My hat fell over my eyes so I was being pulled around, couldn't see, and my companion was trying to get the dog to let go of my sweater. It finally did but that arm of the sweater is now two inches longer than the other. We then knocked into a very high person and that was an interesting close to the night. This week, has been interesting. Being senior is a little different. it does not make you more than your companion ,but you get to drive and there is a bit more responsibility on your shoulders that just can not be explained. it is just felt. But I have felt that I need to be stronger and that during this time I will be able to grow stronger not only in my faith but also in my testimony. The area is growing but a lot slower than we would like. But it will get there and then it will boom!!!! With much love, Hermana Zielger Would write more but do have a time limit!
